Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Thrive to spite them

I don't know if there is one exclusive PotC board, but I know it's a fairly active, albeit small, fandom. There are people who write fanfic, make vids, debate minutia about the movies, dissect the relationships, etc.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Iman (who is a super host and kind of scary) totally ripped them a new one for using goth as the trashy look. She was all like "Goth is a legitimate look!!"

See! Iman validates my subculture. And you know she has fantastic taste, because hello, MARRIED TO DAVID BOWIE.

ita, make your sister write a book so I can read it! Oh! I wonder if there are any studies about sexual fetishes and the class system! Why do I have to be at work when I want to be Googling this shit!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Hmm. Does the third world even have time for fetishes? I smell a project for my sister.

Bringing kink to the underprivliged?

I just realized I'm dissecting the minutia over what makes something geeky. I'm a metageek.

It will probably be hard to get government funding.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

People who have a fetish for Scrooge McDuck?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Coding and Sleeping

I once tried to explain to a rabid hockey fan that being a Buffistas was just like his hobby but with a different inspiration. I cited instant bonding with strangers, fascination with minutae, and odd clothing among my other examples. He just kept staring at me like I was insane.

I think you make a good point. There can be a sort of double standard. I'm neither a sports event nor con goer. However, if I dressed up in an NFL jersey and went to an event to buy sports memorabilia and get an autograph of a player, that would be cool. OTOH if I dressed up in a Star Trek uniform and went to an event to buy trek memorabilia and get an autograph of an actor, I would be a loser.
