Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Wait, the Clementine lovers weren't referring to the John Ford movie?
Well don't take Hec's crack-smoking word for it! Me, I was referring to the gawdawful folk song. But see, that's the beauty of the thread title. It works on so many levels.

Honestly, the Pynchon novela is almost unreadably bad. If it hadn't been on the midterm, I totally would have skipped it.

C'mon! It's got a Beatles parody band called The Paranoids. With songs!
Who wouldn't want to read that?

I actually need to go to Sephora today. We'll see if I have enough energy to fight my way down the Magnificent Mile in a half-hour. Maybe if I reward myself with manga?

Admit it! Jane Austen has no beatle parody bands in her novels. Not one.
