Book excerpt: This compilation of "my STUFF" (as George Carlin might have me refer to it) includes ruminations, essays and, frankly, spoofs that I wrote during the last decade of the twentieth century through the first decade of the twenty-first. Admittedly and predictably, some of the items betray my long-term affiliation with and dedication to the discipline of sociology. Throughout my career, I succeeded in ignoring Archibald MacLeish's warning not to "commit a social science," but I did manage to heed his other caution not to "sit with statisticians." Now, in items some of which bear an affinity to sociology, I am not above taking liberties that exceed the bounds imposed by professional sociological constraints. Thus, I commit value-judgments, I trifle with the ludicrous, and I allow myself to be opinionated!
