    Aye to Lykren.

    Saying "iconic" when all you mean is "famous"?

    Nope. People mean it to imply that famous and good are the same thing, and as we all know, I'm too hipsterish not to feel threatened by that.

    Tantalizing mystery?

    Iconic is such an odious term. And lazy.

    Of course! Life is but the interface of history and mystery, is it not?

    Using "epiphany" to mean anything other than "a manifestation"?

    Iconic is a fine word when used properly.


    No to other uses of epiphany.

    Icons?

    Nay. It's more fun once you acknowledge it as bullsh*t.

    Aye for fairy ballads.
    But how religious were the Greeks - did they really believe in that stuff?

    It's a very complicated question. The simplest answer is that people believed in different degrees of literality depending on socioeconomic status, philosophical inclination, and to a degree individual variability. But almost everyone believed that the gods existed in some way; including the Epicureans; and even the early Christians (who thought they were demons).

    And aren't Fairy Ballads cool?

    Use of the term "game changer" in any capacity whatsoever?

    Haha

    And I say iconic and will defend it as different from famous as a matter of DEGREE. Pewdiepie is famous, Mila Kunis is famous, Ashton Kutcher is famous and Marilyn Monroe is iconic, as is Humphrey Bogart.

    Never tried Indonesian food that I know of.

    Fast food?

    Fast food when in a hurry, or perhaps before Easter..

    And Ashton Kutcher is infamous rather than famous.

    Tchaikovsky's 1st PC?

    There's a new recording of the Tchai PC1, based on the composer's original version, unlike the edited score that has been heard usually. It sounds very interesting, in a good way. And it doesn't hurt that it's coupled with the Proky 2nd PC, one of my absolute favourite pieces of music. I'm sure you'd enjoy it - Prokofiev wrote it after the death of a very close friend of his, so it's extra cheerful

    Nay for sideburns.

    Did you know they're actually named after a mr. Burnside? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sideburns
