Oh please. Of all the little consumer trend groups, the goths are the most fun to fuck with.
I remember years ago my buddy and I snatched a type o negative CD from a goth at a party and played frisbee with it.
Anyway, the goths are the most fun because usually they are a little more intellectual than the other trends. The “dark nerds” is what I call them, and they tend to have something to say worth two seconds of my time.

Werklempter’s genius never fails to floor me.

Sandy - Sometimes, when confronted with a thinker like Werklempter, the floor is the appropriate place to be.
