Dialectic

Many of you have asked about the cirumstances under which the Core44s come up with such genius phrases as "Dairy Queen" and "Banana Split," which inevitably spread and infect the population like the malicious memes they are.
Let me tell you how some of these terms originated.
Me, Lopan, and Sheki were chillin' out at a movie downtown. I have no idea what that movie was, but given the state of Hollywood, it was probably a piece of shit. I think maybe it was T3. Gaaah.
So there we are, sitting down and making witty banter which would have humbled Shakespeare, when we start looking around and noticing the enormous prevalence of WM/AF.
D: Dude, they're EVERYWHERE. It's like they set us up here; they're in front, behind, beside, we can't escape.
S: Yeah man.
[Lopan, unperturbed by such things, just shakes his head at us 'cause he knows we're gonna get worse.]
D: Why is this happening?
S: I don't know man.
[Lopan shakes his head like he's thinking, 'why am I sitting between these two fuckers?']
D: It's just not right. There are NO reverses.
S: It's everywhere man.
D: We gotta call 'em something. Like, I don't know, we need some codeword or some shit.
S: Yeah man.
D: These women, they ... they just LOVE these White dudes!
[Lopan shakes his head at us like he's thinking, 'goddammit I hope no one hears these two assholes, I just wanted to watch the governator shoot shit.']
S: They're [i]Dairy Queens, man.
[I'm not entirely sure he came up with it, but I'll give Sheki the credit 'cause he comes up with all sorts of classics.]
[Lopan looks at Sheki, incredulous, half smiling, half grimacing]
L: What?!
D: HAHAHAHAAA!!! Dairy Queens!!! Sheki that's BRILLIANT!!! They just LOVE the MILK!!!"
[Lopan chuckles and shakes his head at us like he's not looking at people, but actual assholes.]
L: You guys are fucking horrible.
D: Man, this whole PLACE is a Dairy Queen!
S: Dairy Queens, man. Dairy Queens.
D: So that's like a name for the chick, or maybe for the place. What about the actual couples? We got anything to call them?
L: Banana Splits!
D,S: BWAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
And thus began the corruption of Lopan. Assuming he's the one who actually said it, which I'm not sure, but having him say it makes it funnier.
Those of you who've been with us from the VERY beginning (which is to say none of you 'cause we put the site up in April and didn't market it 'til May) know that the original title of Sheki's first article was not "Respect," but rather, "The Politics of John Denver." I believe Lopan made it up so it would have a title.
Why "John Denver," you ask?
Well one night me, Sheki, Lopes, and a buddy of ours who has every ethnicity's blood on earth in him were chillin' at a dark little pub near my place. The music was loud, very rocky and guitary, and we were shootin' the shit over a pitcher or three.
We're kinda lookin' around and contemplating what was probably some seriously profound shit when we noticed a tendency of the pub's population.
S: Man, this place is non-diverse.
[Music is pretty loud.]
L: What?
S: This place is non-diverse.
L: John Denver?
D: "John Denver"?
[Sheki leans in]
S: NON-DIVERSE!!!
L: Ohhhhhhh. I thought you said John Denver.
D: What did he say?
L: "Non-diverse."
D: Ohh. I thought he said "John Denver."
L: No man.
D: "John Denver" works though.
L: Yeah!
S: Man, this place is John Denver!
Man, this world is John Denver!
