Two important things--one could almost say crucial things! They are important!
First, 45 seconds ago I published my second Sporcle quiz./! This one is for the Beatles fans. Let me know what you think. Not about the Beatles, I mean--everyone knows they were the greatest band of the twentieth century, and because there were no other "bands" as we know them in previous centuries, and because the twenty-first century has not appeased my elitist tastes in music, they were, in fact, the greatest band of all eternity, at least on our planet. Rather, I mean that you should tell me what you think about my Sporcle quiz. Too long, short, hard, easy, boring, that sort of thing. On second thought, don't tell me if it's boring because that would not be easy to fix and it would discourage me from further exercising my Sporcreativity.
Second, and slightly less crucially, MILF is a pretty funny turn of phrase. Calling someone a MILF is now socially acceptable in informal settings; but have you ever tried to call someone a BILF or a SILF? You see, your conversational partner will understand that you are not referring to your own mother or father when you say MILF or DILF. But "brother/sister I'd like to @#$%"? That comes across as something out of the Old Testament (you know, the Jew part)*--that is, it sounds like you're talking about desiring your own siblings when SILF and BILF should logically be analogues to MILF and DILF. Slang is a fickle friend, I suppose. Capricious, capricious, capricious!
*Anti-Semitic comment #2 on "From a Concerned Friend." A less offensive one than #1, perhaps.
Dammit Debo, why you gotta be so contradictory? Your opinions of music certainly are elitist but your tastes are hella mainstream. I swear you'd really enjoy some current music if you throw out all your preposterous ideas of what a hipster is. Actually I'd really like to see you address your issues with "the hipster" in a future blog post. And then I'll rip you apart in the comments for being a hypocrite.
ReplyDeleteMaps, I only said positive things about one band (the Beatles, whom I believe you'd agree are better than any "indie" band) in this blog entry. I think you're reading what you know of my anti-hipster sentiments into what I said.
