We're men,
We're men in tights!
We roam around the forest looking for fights!
We're men,
We're men in tights!
We rob from the rich and give to the poor, that's right!
We may look like sissies
But watch what you say
Or we'll put out your lights!

"Here is the thing you gotta understand about JoJo's Bizarre Adventure - it set the rule as far as power level versus fashion sense. The rule is as follows: If you can fight like a motherfucker, you can dress however you damn well please. Because no one is gonna say anything. What are they going to do? Make fun of the fact that you're wearing pointy elf shoes and have hearts on your kneecaps?"

President Obama didn’t give it up for fake baby, but the people in the audience came through. My eyeballs got the tingles and my eyelashes nearly singed off when they were hit with the Secretary of Energy zapping all kinds of life into me with his immaculate mane game and facial expressions... He really is the Secretary of Energy, because he lit me all the way up with his stunning hair game."
