Oh, I get it.  It's very clever.

(I've seen that movie thousands of times.  Literally.)

I was referring to the jungle scene in I am Legend mirroring that quote.

Fierce!  :D

Will this stuff turn me into the Incredible Hulk?

Zathras, I'd seen I am Legend but never connected the Fight Club quote to it before. I find the idea of them swiping Fight Club kind of fascinating...

::sniff::  It's nice to be at a forum where not only am I not shouted down for my tangents, but also is full of other people who can go on tangents.

I'm absolutely shocked that nobody was surprised enough about my Fight Club addiction to mention it.

Well, when you start listening to each commentary track once per day, your totals will rack up pretty quickly.   >:(

Also, I have the 2 disc special edition that I had to order off the 'net.  I find it strangely odd that I placed an order for Fight Club...

Christian, one of the contestants on Project Runway (season before the last one), used fierce like the world would end if he didn't say it once an hour.

I Twitter. I also occasionally blog on the Escape Pod blog, which if you're here you shouldn't have much trouble finding.

Huh. I thought it was just that the bottle looks like a penis, which I'd never noticed before this thread. It's possible I'm immature...

Thanks Ryos. My ideas about Gatorade have now been corrupted for good.  :)  Not that that's a bad thing.

He's hardly the first gay man to make heavy use of "fierce".  I don't even watch Runway except for the clips I've seen on the show The Dish.

I first became aware of the usage of "fierce" by gay men when watching the season of Curb Your Enthusiasm that had Larry David starring in the stage production of The Producers.  Later I noticed Tyra Banks says it a lot on America's Next Top Model (again, via clips shown on The Soup and The Dish.)

And now, Gatorade is fierce!  ;D

So...You're using gay in a pejorative scene because Gatorade can make you gay? You can catch gay from Gatorade? It's made of gay?  Their marketing department is lame?

No.

No.

No.

Well ... yeah, maybe.

No.

Seriously, d00d, you're overanalyzing this.  I saw the word "fierce" on the bottle and associated it with the usage by many homosexual men, and that's all there is to it.
