I have trouble with "Poker Face" because all I hear is "poke, poke, poke her face."
Kaylee: You're nice, too. Mal: No, I'm not. I'm a mean old man.

"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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Hipsters don't own houses. They live in shabby bedsits, or in squats or possibly starve in the garret.
I think you have them confused with the freegans. It gets confusing. Hipsters think they're cooler than everyone else, and therefore don't give a shit about them. Freegans think they're superior due to being outside the capitalist system but care about the less fortunate, at least in theory.

I love that movie so much I can't stand it.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I love me some GaGa. She's like Warhol and Bowie gone girl and rolled into one talented, crazy like a fox package.

PBR is great for Boilermakers. Although my default for them is now Simpler Times.
Back in the (read: my) day, the bar beer of choice for the tragically hip was, shudder, Rolling Rock.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Rolling Rock is great! I mean, it's OK for a cheap beer.
