The Bwog
Robert Thurman in the Magazine of Record
Previous Post | Next Post

Bwog tipster Sara Vogel informs us that Robert Thurman, professor of Buddhist studies and relative of all sorts of famous people, is this week's New York Times Magazine "Questions For..." interviewee. In the interview, Thurman talks about why the Dalai Lama never comes over to hang out anymore, totally disses Slavoj Zizek, and also at one point says, "I meditate on how Dick Cheney was my mother in a previous life and nursed me at his breast." (Impromptu Photoshop contest: if you send us an image of Thurman suckling at the teat of our Vice President, we will include it in this post.)

For more of the Robert Thurman interview experience, check out the Blue and White's October Conversation.

UPDATE 12:06 AM: A treasure arrives in our inbox, from Photoshop hero Jon Hill:

Thurman comes off as a bit of a nut in this interview. Anyone had him for class? Is he crazy?

Currently living in JJ as a High school summer program. As of Friday there hasn't been anything done inside the dining hall...doesn't mean they didn't start over the weekend, but I haven't seen anything.

You are living as a high school summer program? I know some people who have lived there as undergraduate programs.
