Adopto este texto del blog de KnockerGrowl, pero con mi propia selección de favoritas (o vividas T_T) en negrita (puedes ver la suya aquí, que encima las ha traducido y todo... no como yo ^^). Él lo adoptó de AfterThePostRock. Me he reído muchísimo al leerlo, pero como él dice, salvo que te suene un poco el mundillo esto no te va a hacer gracia ^^
