I'm very twitchy today.

I bought a book about pirates. Arrgh! My cultural landscape is littered with stock characters, tropes, like so:

Zombies. Detectives. Vampires. Pirates. Robots. Mobsters. Dinosaurs. Superheroes. Talking Animals. Teenage Romantics. Revolutionaries. Colonists. Aliens. Witches. Evil Italian Aristocrats. Pioneers. Those Stranded on Islands. Maniacs.

Update: I forgot Cowboys! And Pith-Helmeted Explorers!
