Gibson's no David Foster Wallace
On one episode of the X-Files, Mulder is talking to a teenage boy who has a poster of Pop Will Eat Itself with the caption Ich bein Ein Auslander, the name of one of their songs. They talk about the implicit ramifications for a bit, when Mulder offers this tidbit,"Did you know that when Kennedy mae his I am a Berliner speech, he was actually saying I am a cocktail weenie?" Uh, Fox, he was saying I am a jelly doughnut. You can maybe stretch it to I am a Krispy Kreme but cocktail weenie is all wrong.
