Nick - Here's one of our funniest discussions!!  from 2009

Mari Hawes
DUDE can school get any more busy right before christmas???!!? How the hell am I supposed to think of sociology when all I want to do is make cookies? Really who thought of this plan?

Nicholas
Uh, ok... Searching for response... uh... maybe try thinking about the sociology of gingerbread men...

Mari Hawes
So what social class is a gingerbread man in if he only has one gumdrop button? Is he really lower class or is he just 'slummin' it?
Or what about the hegemonic situation of the gingerbread society?? Why are gingerbread women so under represented??!
What would Max Weber say about the class roles of gingerbread people based on their employment as snack foods. Would we have to class them on a psychological scale seeing as how once employed they appear to be suicidal.
What would an asset be for a gingerbread man? If an asset is classified as a form of wealth that is stored for future use, should we be making thicker cake like gingerbread people instead of these skinny crispy little critters?

Nicholas D. Ward
What about gingerbread kids? Do they keep them locked in the basement and out of sight thus making suicidal employment upon escape seem better than eventual processing into additional building material for the ever consumed gingerbread houses? And what has lead us to prey so villainously upon this seemingly peaceful society. Will they eventually... See More rise up, baking MASSIVE gingerbread men, in industrial sized ovens, intent upon turning the tables on us? And what exactly will I look like with a gumdrop button...
