a) Look I have the same boots as you now! That makes me a true Punk/Goth/Rocker/insert generic group name.
b) You didn't like my poem? Well you probably didn't understand it. It was very deep.
i) I am a goth I love HIM.
ii) I have a degree in Philosophy...I therefore know a little more about theology than you could.
Another Example: My definition of "pretentious" is much better than the others on this site because I have an A in English.
Pretentious people often have no sense of humour and never laugh at themselves.

Get the babania mug.Rifftraxs are .mp3's that you sync with a DVD which provide a hilarious MST3K-esque commentary. It was created and is performed by Mike Nelson of MST3K fame, though occasionally guest riffers with stop by to help, such as Kevin Murphy (also of MST3K fame) in the Star Trek V riff.
"It sucks that MST3K got cancelled, huh?" says Uninformed Yet Impressionable Friend
"DUDE! YOU GOTTA CHECK OUT RIFFTRAX! IT'S JUST LIKE MST3K, EXCEPT NOW HE MAKES FUN OF HOLLYWOOD MOVIES!" replies Hyped Up Rifftrax Fan.

Get the rifftrax mug.The Charlie Brown-like sense of excitement experienced by leftists eagerly awaiting the indictment of (pleeeeease just one) high-ranking Bush Administration official in connection with the NON-outing of NON-secret agent Valerie Plame, before reality pulls a Lucy and removes the football from the path of their foot.

Get the y0 mug.When you are on a computer with a power and a reset button, and you tell someone to press the "turbo" button, which is really the reset button. They will think that it makes the computer go faster, but in reality, they will lose all of their work.
Joe asks Justin, "Why is my computer going so slow?" Justin says, "Maybe you should press the turbo button!" Joe presses it, and loses all of his work, seven times. What a gay. Joe just shoed getting turboed sucks.
