Odd how "explanations" often don't come off too well... A few years ago, I wrote a paper in which I deconstructed a group of "romance novels".... At the time, I was studying representation of native peoples in various forms of pop-culture media. I had noticed that a lot of romance novels at the grocery/drugstores had native men on the covers...in fact, there is an entire genre of these.... so I bought a few to read, and then wrote a paper about them. I found the whole "research" part of the project to be quite hilarious... but whenever I would try to explain what I was working on, or writing up, people would give me this weird stony-faced stare... generally while I was in the midst of cracking up while describing a particularly ridiculous passage.... At that point, I would go... "Doh... I think maybe I'll just be quiet now..." (-:
