If there's something you don't understand, post a comment and I'll explain it.
If there's something you don't understand why I'm interested in it, post a comment and I'll *try* to explain it.
Do be sure to differentiate as to which question you're asking.
There's 150 of them, hopefully you'll find something to your taste.

Please explain your interest in fedoras. =)
Also what is ofra haza? What is the bureau?

Fedoras: My taste in clothing tends to be retro--clothes today are boring, and so I try to find the fun stuff from the past and use them. Also, fedoras are things that the cool characters in classic movies wore. Bogart. Sinatra. Harrison Ford. If I could wear hats (and I really can't--my head's too big and I get way too hot) my life would be almost complete.

Ofra Haza was a Yemeni/Israeli pop singer who took her native folk songs and gave them a dance beat. She died a few years ago of AIDS, after hiding it for who knows how long because of the social stigma surrounding it.
The Bureau is the Bureau of Arcane Affairs (The BAA) from my Ar Noir game. A secret government agency created to deal with the sudden appearance of magic. The players had a rather involved love/hate/fear relationship with the Bureau, trying to decide if I'd set them up as the Big Bad or as the White Knight.

choo choo bear? What is this?

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

An easy one!
Choo Choo Bear is an.... elastic pink kitty character in Something Positive", a twisted fucked up web comic. He is adorable and elicits cries of "Cow Aie!" from the anime fangirls.

gir?

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

Gir is the insane tiny robot companion of Invader Zim, a cartoon character by Jhonen Vasquez, who also draws Johnny the Homicidal Maniac.
At first I was worried that Gir was 'the cute animal companion'. But I should have had more faith in Jhonen. Because he *was* the cute animal companion but in a sick and twisted way.
Gir says:
Cows are my friends!
Chicken! I'm gonna eat you!
I like dookie!
This is my favorite show!
I'm gonna sing the Doom Song now!
But I neeeeed tacos! I need them or I will explode! That happens to me sometimes.
I'm daaaaancin' like a monkey!
It's got chicken legs!
Hi, floor! Make me a sammich!
He's gettin' eaten by a shark!

How do you relate to Winnie the Pooh?

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

Pooh is very much my emotional center, a pacifying and simplifying element when life is too much. If I feel in need of focus and centering, I retire to my big comfy bed and read House at Pooh Corner.
Pooh is about the important things--friends, thinking of others, having fun, someplace warm to sit, and a little something around eleven.
It's a helpful reminder.

Hmm...

'Oral sex'? Whazzat?

Another easy one!
That's when you stand across the room from each other and shout "Fuck you!" "No, fuck *you*!" "No, fuck *you*!" "No, ...."

Ah, just as I suspected!
