Keeping with the allegory here, I guess the Vikings were along the lines of the gay community which usually precedes the full-scale gentrification. See: Flag Wars, an awesome documentary on what the leading indicators of gentrification look like to all involved (could have been more rounded in portrayal, though). http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0359281/

I have an idea but we have to act now if we're going to ward off the aliens. Instead of a toilet, start shitting on the perimeter of your yard. The stink and mess will repel them from Earth. Of course, most of us will find it hard to adapt to shitting in public, but to do so is our duty. Shit with pride, brethren.

I saw Alf at El Chilito-- I think he was asking for his money back.

And that means each East Austin Gentrifist is also, in his or her own way, a space alien. Like Alf.
