A trenchant critique of anthropology being accepted as a social science
And not the art of educated observation

Another vaguely remembers swimming naked with strangers
One summer night on that ill-fated tour
Well those were formative years
Maybe that's why I like to drink my beers warm and I like to take my pants off...
