Technically, Paul's students are wrong. The Dodgers exist; they just belong to Los Angeles. I think they moved out of Brooklyn in the late '50s. All right. Commence giving me a ton of shit because I have shameful, non-hip, anti-intellectual knowledge of baseball facts. Sue me. I like baseball. I played fast-pitch softball for 10 years. I am a fair-to-middlin pitcher and an outstanding first base(wo)man. Mea culpa, mea culpa ...
The boys in black ... No, I've never seen any of them wearing suspenders, and they (thankfully) do not dress in white attire and adorn themselves with ridculously large codpieces. And as far as I know, none of them have ever beaten a woman to death with a large ceramic penis. I don't think they're punks, though. They're much too well-groomed and they don't wear any heavy metal gear.
I'm glad someone else here shares my irritation with the goth thing. I mean, hell. I've listened to The Cure and Mazzy Star as much as any of them, but I've never felt this overwhelming need to make myself look like a giant corpse and intentionally walk around looking angst-filled.
