Avoiding the obvious title»

CONJECTURE: The phrase “just sayin’” is shorthand for “I’m a total dick but I’m pretending that I don’t want to offend you”. That’s how I use it, anyway. If this were a real blog, I’d provide a link to some more thought out essay on this topic (which I swear I saw once, somewhere out there).

And if I wanted to be ironic, I’d end this post with the phrase in question.

Hella irony, yo!»

What is the most ironic irony? When you like something “ironically” (i.e., “hipster irony”) and then you end up genuinely liking it. This post is dedicated to the wonderful sci-fi synthpop of Peter Schilling (the “Major Tom” dood).
