- Bio
- Mr. Culture has spent a lifetime being a keen observer of various cultural situations and is able to adeptly apply his treasure trove of cultural knowledge to offer succinct cultural advice. As he will tell you, “It hasn’t been easy spending toilsome hours mining all the cultural gems that have made me the foremost C.A.A. (Cultural Analytical Adviser) in the world”. No, it hasn’t been easy pioneering this new academic professional field of study. As a youth, Mr. Culture spent many afternoons after school studying the intricate personal interactions and problem solving techniques employed by the Skipper and Gilligan. He took careful detailed notes while watching Captain Kirk over react (or over act) when faced with a new hostile alien life form. But his studies were not strictly limited to the realm of pop-culture. He also discovered enlightenment from many real life cultural social situations, such as holiday family gatherings. These events often provided many hours of observing related homo sapiens, of various religious and political views, being forced to cooperate in the preparation of a complex meal and then being forced to sit down together to partake in their joint efforts without fighting or becoming hammered - or both. These are just a few of the experiential examples that have given us the enigmatic, the obtuse pontificator, the purveyor of all things cultural - Mr. Culture.
