Is It Cool to be a Dag?

July 11th 2007 20:12
Think you're a dag?

For starters - anyone who genuinely believes they'll be 'discovered' or will make a worthwhile living from writing posts on their own site - probably is.

Therapy would be an acceptable reason - looking for a lucrative revenue stream or fame . . . probably isn't.


Having sorted that - I would suggest that a more extensive branch of the genus 'dag' rests with those of us who are open to admitting they have at least one hidden dag chromosome in their biological make-up.

Social alienation is hardly a desirable trait - but one which bank managers, IT staff and accountants have successfully surmounted in recent times. (OK - perhaps not accounants).

Yet there is a recessive 'dag' gene lurking somewhere in all of us.

Fashion dags like to class themselves as 'individuals' with comments such as:

"Fashion should reflect personality, not commercialism"

"You, and not the brand".

"I like to think my fashion is a combination of comfort and a political statement"

Yeah sure!

Musically, dags cite the re-birth of groups such as ABBA and how cool it is to have a turntable again - because vinyl gives depth and an earthy-ness to the artist.

Right!

Or how about those nerdy kids who used to lock themselves away in the darkroom during school lunch hours - you know - the ones who now do fashion shoots for Cosmo or travel for world with National Geographic.


Hang on - what ever happened to the dorks who got involved in debating . . . . . oh yeah - apparently they're doing very well on the public speaking tour.

Then there's those closet dags - who collect everything from Star Wars figures to comic books - but hey that's cool . . . isn't it?

I guess that in the cold light of day, there's no getting round it - looks like being a dag these days is pretty 'hip.

. . . Or was that a daggy thing to say?

I'm a dag, just love being a dag, and you mean I'm not going to make my fortune here? Shame!

I've been wondering all this time why I'm not making any.

But I continue to do well on the dag tag.

Mr. Nice guy? oh, yeah?????????
