But... but... Point Break *is* so slashy!
River: You're not right, Early. You're not righteous. You've got issues. Early: No. Oh, yes, I could have that. You might have me figured out, then. Good job. I'm not 100%.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's The Fast And The Furious. It has to be slashy.

It's amazingly slashy. And they're all wearing wetsuits. All I saw before were the wetsuits!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Point Break is by Kathryn Bigelow who was undoubtedly pretty conscious of the slash she put in. She also did the great Near Dark vampire movie.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
You people have ruined me. I'm watching Point Break, with Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze, and all I can think is "this film is so slashy!"
Umm... back in 1992, when I saw it about 5 times, I was certain they were doing it.
It's totally slashy.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I didn't even *know* about slash until a couple of years ago, plus I was more than a wee bit sheltered anyhow, and I kinda thought there was something going on.

Thanks for all the fish.
See, but romance novels don't have to make sense or be any good. Surely we can pound out a hundred pages of drivel and fifty pages of sex.

HA!
Let's see...
Imposters was about 22 pages, with about 2-3 pages of sex.
So, 100 pages of drivel, about 13 pages of sex.

Thanks for all the fish.
Yeah, but all of the throbbing manhoods take up more space.
Oh, fuck, just remembered something that happened tonight. I'm here, so I'll put it here.
We had our staff Christmas party tonight and our Tech got a ten years of service gift. The waitress comes by because she wants to see what the gift is, the following conversation occurs.
Waitress - That sure is a pretty box; it must be a pretty gift.
Tech - I wish my husband came in a pretty box.
Waitress - Oh, honey, I'm sure he does.
And it took the Tech a couple of minutes to understand why the entire table was on the floor laughing.
