CLT?

Last night when I read 'Now I understand' I thought that JB was
saying 'Now I understand why that guy writes such ridiculous posts:
his girlfriend's a whore.'  This morning I realize that you meant to
indicate your gratitude to me for pointing out what CLT means.  My
bad.  Yes, contrary to what Crackin and Jane say, it's Clitoral
Theory.  You see I get confused with this group, like paranoid or
something, because, for example, when I read the following from Jane
this morning--

"CLT or the departments formally known as Comparative
Literature and English and.... 

All courses are three credits, except CLT 597, 599, 690, and
699, which can be taken for variable credit. Core courses
(CLT 501, 510) may not be repeated. All other courses are
topic courses that may be repeated if the topic changes. No
more than a total of six credits of CLT 597, 599 or 699 may
be counted toward degree requirements. 

CLT 500 History of Literary Theory: An introduction to
basic texts in literary criticism prior to 1900. Emphasis is
on the West from the Greeks on, but where appropriate
non-Western traditions are introduced. 3 credits."

--I would have sworn she was joking, and it wasn't until Crackin and
her fell into a deep discussion of what they both claim CLT stands
for did I realize that there was no joking going on, just real
fascinating talk about course numbers.

JB calling my girlfriend a whore though gives me opportunity to share
my favorite Pynchon story: her brother is the editor of PlayBill
magazine, and he has a friend who in college, like in their Princeton
days, built a WALL with copies of the Rainbow.
