Calling things "the new black" is the new black
Seriously folks, we're all on the same page here. Everybody reading this blog knows that Paul Reubens and Al Gore planned the whole thing by a camp fire roasting marshmallows while discussing the didactics of Kafka's "The Metamorphasis" and when the shit finally crumbles they'll have to gumby up and call the whole thing peanut brittle fiddle faddle.

Mmmmmm... peanut butter fiddle faddle...
It does sound delicious.
Sorry to subject you all to that nonsense. I'm currently reading "Sex, Drugs and Cocopuffs" by Chuck Klosterman. He suggests a theory for how to sound interesting when discussing any topic and I had to give it a shot. Here's his description from the text:
"The formula is as follows: When discussing any given issue, always do three things. First, make an intellectual concession (this makes the listener feel comfortable). Next, make a completely incomprehensible--but remarkably specific--"cultural accusation" (this makes you insightful). Finally, end the dialogue by interjecting slang lexicon that does not necessarily exist (this makes you contemporary)."
Pretty funny stuff. Here's one of his examples:
"When talking about sports: I mean, come on--you just know that Rondey Rogers is sitting in the locker room before every game reading Nietzshe, and he's totally thinking to himself, 'If Ron Artest tries to step to me one more time, I'm gonna slap jack his brisket, Philly style.'"
As you can see he's much better at it than I. Check out that book if you get a chance. It's a fantastic over analysis of how Pamela Anderson sucking dick on film has an over arching effect on society as a whole or why the boston celtics and the los angles lakers are a metaphor for race relations. It's a fun and interesting read. Check it.
Obviously Chuck Klosterman can't even watch a John Cusak movie without secretly letting out an oedipus-like cry for mommy and the next time he writes an 'I'm lonely' diatribe blaming popular culture some millennial is gonna get his weight up by merking Chuck until he's an x-wing crash scene.
...see, it's fun. Give it a shot; (can you tell how bored I am today)?
I was wondering WTF you were talking about. Now I know and knowing is half the battle.
