Bad Idea #587:

Never hype up your girlfriend's best friend as 'the hottest chick you've ever seen' to your friends. No matter what your intentions are, (in my case, they were in hopes that one of my friends would take a chance with her) it's going to come back to your girlfriend, and more than likely, she's going to be pissed.

These things

I'm convinced there is a secret indie council that meets every year to determine what random thing people will inexplicably get excited about. Then the council members return home to disseminate these decisions. "We will obsess over cupcakes and draw deer and diamonds all over everything" or "The Beach Boys are now sacrosanct."
I think these pronouncements come down from some closely guarded pythia on occult inhalants. How else do you explain shutter aviators?
