Heh. I think I'll start work on my new script for SyFi - Hipsterpede! A genetic experiment to create a half-hipster, half ancient centipede goes horribly awry....
Yes, they start out like this.
Xander: Just once I'd like to run into a cult of bunny worshippers. Anya: Great. Thank you very much for those nightmares.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
That never stops being CREEPY.
Discoveries of the morning, clearly known by people more In Tune than myself, but still pleasing: Johnny Weir + Lady GaGa = DoubleplusFABULOUS.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Seriously, none more fabulous. I keep meaning to see his new show.

When I hear Poker Face now, I substitute, "Even when it's bold italic."

I have trouble with "Poker Face" because all I hear is "poke, poke, poke her face."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
They just did a huge Lady Gaga marathon on Fuse and interviewed her.
She wrote "Poker Face" about having sex with her boyfriend and hoping that he couldn't read from her expression that she'd rather be with a woman at that point.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am such a fogey. I fail to get Lady GaGa, even ironically. eta: and her interviews make it even worse
I want to go home now.

I have never been chased by a herd of hispters, but I suppose if I could figure out the right thing to shout in a rock club or the local vegetarian restaurant
Just yell "PBR sucks!!!"

Oh, I get that it's about maintaining a poker face, but initially all I heard was the refrain, and it's colored my view ever since. Plus I hear some of the kids put things like subtext in their lyrics these days, and I get suspicious. I miss straightforward, wholesome songs like "Let's Get It On."

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Just yell "PBR sucks!!!"
They know that PBR sucks. They drink it anyway.
Actually, it's just that PBR was the first to notice that this particular market segment would drink any type of swill as long as it's cheap. Other beers are now exploiting that segment, too. For a while, my bar was selling (shudder) Genesee Cream Ale.
