zadig et voltaire

Brand: A luxury store tailored towards the upper echelons of the bourgeoisie, who, in an attempt to preserve an outward image of punk-rockness, wealth, and cultural awareness are essentially reproducing the expected behaviours associated with status anxiety. Clothes are overpriced if the measure is quality; all value is ascribed through social conventions.
Person 1: Damn, is that ripped shirt Zadig et Voltaire?
Person 2: Of course.
Person 1: Well, damn, you must be a modern, successful capitalist, cat!
Person 1 (internally): *Sigh* I wish, If only I were. Instead I try to mask my economic commonality by in-debting myself with outrageous purchases relative to my income.

high voltage

When someone or something is extremely dangerous, exciting, or out of control. Also it can be something that is very exciting. Something that cannot be placed in a controlled setting due to its physical nature and immense energy.
Watch out with that, it is high voltage!
We went to the mosh pit and it was so high voltage!!!

Voltaire's Mechanized Army

Similar to Voltaire's Angry Glove, but involves an egg beater.

Fill a drinking glass 3/4 of the way with shards of glass and 1/4 of the way with glue. Grind up 1/8 cup of Fiberglass insulation into a fine powder. Fill a bowl with glue.

Dip the egg beater into the bowl of glue to coat it with a thick layer. Begin rotating and dip into the fiberglass. Repeat several times until there is a thick coating of fiberglass powder on the egg beater. At this point, feel free to experiment, try adding razorblades for fun.

Insert the drinking glass, open end first, into the orifice of your choice. Then with a firm swift motion, ram the egg beater in behind the glass, make sure to break it! Begin egg beating away! Mix it up a little though, move deeper and shallower- try different speeds, angles, and amounts of physical force.

Remember, you can do anything well as long as you put your heart into it!
When the angry glove was no longer enough, Voltaire's Mechanized Army was called into action.
