Topic: Stupid shiny Volvo

So while browsing the interwebs for no good reason other than to occupy my left hand while the right shovels frosted mini wheats (bite sized, with unsweetened vanilla almond milk, please) after 13 nighttime hours of stomping out disease and suffering, I come across a fantastic t-shirt that basically proclaims the wearer's love for shiny, silver Volvos. I place a couple in my cart and amble off to bed, figuring I will complete the transaction when I wake up.

Well, it turns out that my browser was closed that morning by a feral child who had to get on to mathgames.com and I couldn't remember where I saw that awesome shirt. So, I google "stupid shiny Volvo" to see who sells it.

Yeah. Turns out, "stupid shiny Volvo" is a quote from some movie called "Twilight" and not a brilliant-in-its-geekish-specificity utterance that I can unashamedly, surreptitiously claim as my own. The problem is, I still like the quote. But I am pretty sure I hate "Twilight"... Never saw it and never will but its omnipresence has convinced me that I am better off staying very far away from the entire franchise.

Can I still wear this shirt?

Athens, GA.  Fall 1990.  An argument breaks out:

"Man, 'Stupid Shiny Volvo' is a flat-out STUPID name for a song!"

"Oh, like 'Shiny Happy People' is any fucking better!"

Brodie: I had to forceably stifle my laugh so as to not wake my wife while reading ^^ just now.

FWIW: it may have been their best-seller (don't know for sure) but Out of Time was not their best work. I know without a doubt that I would have liked "Stupid Shiny Volvo" better than "Shiny Happy People". I mean, these are the same guys who wrote Cuyahoga, for Pete's sake.
