| Introduction | The Discerning Philistine might drive a 1978 Chevy Impala station wagon that, perhaps, he bought for $300. The Discerning Philistine could have a BFA from a prestigious liberal arts university yet disdain art, poetry, jazz, and network news. The Discerning Philistine might be well read. He should be respected by his peers and rarely crossed. He works with his hands, perhaps creating cabinets with the finest of African hardwoods, but finds architects pretentious. He favors the parcel post and sees the value of the "forever" stamp. He should be an outdoors man, such as a hunter, but only pursuing fowl and paying close attention to lunar and tide charts. The Discerning Philistine is not a regular drug user, but knows a guy who can get you pain killers nobody's ever heard of. He would certainly know how to appreciate a five-course lunch. |
