A license to kill, like James Bond. So her real new last name must be Kill. 
Exactly three people (other than myself) have laughed at my “I <3 the dominant paradigm” T-shirt. None of those three people was a member of this board – I wore it to Gettysdope a few years ago and got nothing but confusion there as well.
Sigh.
Would you like me to sing the last verse for the Broadway or movie version? 
Hm. So what is the dominant paradigm?
. Not so much a license to kill, Heart of Dorkness, although I sorely need that at times - but more like permission (an imperative even) for me to go forth and acquire things.
I guess it’s only funny to a few. Maybe I just need to work on the delivery?
Exactly the question RTFirefly asked.
Sigh.
this one.
It probably would help if we knew what the actual name is, but I can understand your reluctance. License to Acquire just doesn’t resonate.
I think her new last name is Steele.
Her new last name isn’t really Acquire? Yeah I think the delivery needs some work.
If the last name is Phuck, thats one lucky couple.
My license plate frame reads
Avogadro we accept you
we accept you one of us
I was absolutely tickled when I thought of it, but almost no one has remarked on it. I knew I was limiting myself to a small set of crossover knowledge, but I’d secretly hoped for more.
In this case, the dominant paradigm is wearing t-shirts that say “subvert the dominant paradigm”, which is subverted by wearing a t-shirt that says “I <3 the dominant paradigm”. I think.
I know about 6.02*10[sup]23[/sup] (at least I think I do; if the number’s wrong, ignore this sentence), but what does it have to do with acceptance?
Something to do with moles or being gassy, I imagine. 
Well if I’d ever seen one of those “subvert the dominant paradigm” shirts I would’ve thought it was pretty funny.
That’s from the movie Freaks. It’s the chant of the freaks at the wedding banquet for the midget Hans and Venus, accepting her. But I don’t see any connection, either.
Just today, my best friend, a female punk rock show promoter, was trying to come up with a collective title for a show she was putting together featuring all female or female-having bands. She wanted to get as far away from any kind of Lilith Fair connotations as possible.
She asked me for ideas.
I said, “Fussy Pest?”
we decided the men would never get it… once I explained it to her
Incidentally, I don’t have to explain the Ramones connection to the “we accept you” thing, do I? Because I wrote a very heartfelt essay on that very topic.
You might as well just tell us your surname.
I have a friend whose last name is Manning, and he always says “as in the lifeboats.”
I don’t get it.
You teabag the dominant paradigm?
