And if you want to think that the average Ivy League or coastal elite sort thinks that behind the dull gaze of the average, slack-jawed Texaneck lies an awe-inspiring hidden genius, well, you go right ahead. I wouldn't want to inspire any precipitation on THAT mermaid parade.
I doubt that the South End is home to all that many Ivy League degrees. You'd probably want to go the other way on the Red Line. You know, back in what seems like a past life I myself was doing some coursework at a nearby Ivy League institution. After the semester a friend of mine and I crashed for a week or so at the South End apartment of a fellow named Lumpy. Looking back on it I do not believe that Lumpy was a fellow student. If I were pressed I would guess that my friend knew Lumpy's girlfriend but I'm afraid the details are lost to the fog of time.
Anyhoo, educated northerners think that the average yokel south of the Manson-Nixon line is an idiot. If you want to ascribe that to a Dostoevskian fever dream then you have at it. If you want to discuss whether BOB is an educated northerner, we can certainly do that because as you may recall I have called his intelligence into question more than once.
