I will not title the construction section of the paper 'Triremes: This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things.' I will not title the construction section of the paper 'Triremes: This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things.' I WILL NOT TITLE THE CONSTRUCTION SECTION OF THE PAPER 'TRIREMES: THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS'!!!!
...But I will title the next section 'Strictly Come Archaeology.' AS IF THAT'S ANY BETTER. Why am I so susceptible to pithy quotes and bad puns in academic papers? Like, half my chapter titles in my dissertation research design were [Insert Pithy Quote Here]. I think it's how I do as a recovering English major. I know that's not excuse.
ETA: Okay, no, I won't. This paper can bite me, it's already late. I'ma go make some mac and cheese until the ancient Aegean stops being crazy. It'll be a better paper in the process of being late anyway. Wouldn't YOU rather read a decent late paper than a shitty, half-assed on-time paper? If the answer is no, you are disqualified from LIFE.
