Even the Humor Czar missed that one. "Post Modern" as in modern on posts.
Are puns and subtle humor generally prohibited on BP?

Nope, modernist, I think -- the real thing -- the glass box, the pure form,
the cerebral stuff made by guys who ate a lotta garlic. Post modern is
generally after WWII, but before the New Classicists or whatever they call
themselves came along in the 1980s. And then there's also Herr Stern...
another PM'ist.
