Richard Crasta posts the The Compleat Tehelka Interview With Richard Crasta:
Another method of control: the Booker. Think of how much we think of and worship the Booker. The Brits, the unequalled masters of the Colonial Game, always gave prizes, honors, and titles to well-behaved brown boys who served their purposes. Rao Bahadur this and Order of the British Empire that. Who the hell are they to give us prizes and titles? Why don’t we give them prizes: “The Cooker Prize For Docile, Well-Behaved Brit Writers” and “The Order of Lalu”, whose recipient will have to kneel while Lalu knights him with a Bihari danda?
Very interesting.

The title OBE – a gem from my student days in the UK. OBE = orgasm before entry.
