Most of you have seen this, but i find it to be slight fascinating and had to reference it this afternoon: the no-wash blue jean phenomena. It's apparently a thing, as i tripped over it in a NY Times story about reducing the amount of water required to produce a pair of blue jeans. Perhaps i find this fascinating as i myself have broken in (and subsequently broken too far) many pairs of jeans, including my favorite pair from college with apple and cross patches, one on either knee. (The dualistic nature of man? Sinner and redeemed? Always good for a non-sober dancehall discussion.) This continues and is exacerbated by the fact that i now mainly purchase thrifted jeans, further decreasing their lifespans. And jeans are expensive, eesh. However, this may be taking things too far.
Instead of an arc, it's actually more of a continuum, perhaps?
Other things up on the docket: nomenclature. Goober as a term of... endearment? Mary Sue as a projection of oneself in fan fiction? Tall Poppies which may or may not require leveling?
