M was an inspired choice. [Insert PoMo emoticon -- one whereby the only real irony would be a complete lack of irony.]

I like the name of PoMo Moe’s new place. M was an inspired choice.

They didn't teach that stuff back in my day. From what I've gathered, though, there's a lot of implied winking that goes with it. And it seems like a great framework from which to bloviate. One other question for you smart guys: Is Pomona somehow related? Postmodern Nabobs, perhaps? I don't think I got all the jokes, but the Richard Williams reference made me laugh. I noticed he doesn't even stick around for the sister v. sister finals any more. So is PoMo postmodern? They didn’t teach that stuff back in my day.

Actually, I think most people do that anyway...ah the internet.
