God bless lurkmuch, who sat up on AIM with me last night while I went "Wait, why are monkeys trying to make Pete and Patrick do it?" and then "Okay, so Fall Out Boy made a video where Patrick is a vampire hunter who's trying to save Pete's toothy soul? WHAT?" I have to confess the feeling of ridiculous glee was something like the first time I went "SPACE VAMPIRES? Are you kidding me?".

The thing is, I don't have an actual television, and I don't really listen to the radio except for NPR, so my exposure to pop culture pretty much stopped when I stopped going to the university gym. So I have zero bandom canon, just a lot of fanon from stalking murklins' del.icio.us. So now it is like watching fanfiction in motion! Ee!

Of course now that I'm edging over into bandom it means that bandom is about to make another migration to something else. Any guesses where people are going to go next, after Due South -> SGA -> bandom? Anyone?

Also, since I'm probably never going to watch the interviews: is it a point of canon that Patrick Stump's high school served a lot of potatoes? Why does that show up in every high school AU ever? God, RPS canon is weird.

Truly there should be more of it!
Please rec, I have this kneejerk refusal to read in general comms without recs, and yet, I have been watching much Top Gear and feel the need for fic.

This (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=nimnod&keyword=top+gear&filter=all)
might be a good place to start ;)

I'm particularly fond of "Not in Botswana any more". I'll try and find some of the other cool ones some time.

YAY. I've read "Not in Botswana", and it was precious. Also, hot. I haven't read any of the others, besides the one where Richard Hammond was a male escort and James was a car part designer who needed to learn to love.

Good times.
