Actually Canadian university libraries have [some of the most important scholarly books ever written in the history of mankind](https://www.artofmanliness.com/articles/how-to-unclog-a-toilet/), according to the demanding academic standards of **Urbanredneck**.

Even though he is incessantly attempting the disingenuous-OP-question technique, he is still as clumsy as ever doing it.

Why would he call some egghead? Thoughts and prayers, baby, thoughts and prayers. If it’s good enough for dead students, it’s good enough for the cancer needs of a red-blooded, red-necked\*, red-votin’ American.

(\*) Although, now that I think about it, the odds of a plumber having a red neck are pretty small. They must spend most of their time indoors in bathrooms and kitchens, so their exposure to the sun would be limited.

He also bumblefucked his way through his “Sokal Squared” thread:

I’m pretty sure that because of that one published paper, we can throw out all published research. It’s the ultimate “GOTCHA!!!”

Not sure what everyone’s complaining about a misogynistic collegiaphobic high school teacher who’s concerned about Harvard’s clogged toilets.

He just needs to amp up more Bob Jones-y goodness.

Ironically, the dinosaurs did not die out before humans appeared - indeed the _aves_ are with us still. And, of course, most modern humans have at least some Neanderthal ancestry. 😃

**Urbanredneck** may have Neanderthal ancestry, but the dominant strain in his ancestry is [troglodyte](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=troglodyte). Of the several definitions, I think the most suitable are “_A person considered to be reclusive, reactionary, out of date, or brutish_” and, in particular, “_A lower-functioning subspecies humanoid that usually inhabits subterranean dwellings, and enjoys frequenting Wal-Mart._”

Evidence for all the above abounds. [This one comment alone](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=18970042#post18970042) pretty much establishes that those definitions are appropriate.

He is one of literally only two posters on this board who I feel are far below the standards of intelligence, common sense, and decency. And the other one is almost exactly like him, to the point where I’ve thought they might be the same person.

He’s still obviously trolling. I am not sure how much more obvious he can make this.

Okay, technically, he was picketing outside with a creationist sign. But that counts as teaching science at a high school.

Most true, but my understanding is that Africans in general don’t. Racists can suck on that for a while.

Having negative opinions about people based on their skin color?

Yes, Urban, that’s the actual definition of racism.
