Just Because…


…I bet you haven’t heard this one in a while. Am I the only one who was surprised that M/A/R/R/S didn’t have a more successful career built around repetitive entreaties to make the music even louder and old Space Program videos? And bonus question: whose voice is being sampled in the song, saying “Pump Up the Volume”?

Tying the Bengals=?

I think that “Tying the Bengals” has a certain ring to it. It reminds me a lot of “jumping the shark”, except in sports. “I thought the Patriots really tied the Bengals when Tom Brady got hurt.” It also reminds me of “biting the big one”, like going to a bad show and then saying, “Boy that one really tied the Bengals.” Or dying. “You hear about Tony? Yeah, that poor son of a bitch tied the Bengals last night.” I like the concept of “Tying the Bengals” becoming a cliche phrase. What should it mean?

Some of you might remember this from a few years ago. I actually had numerous people ask me about my “fiancee” because they thought this was real. Good times. Good times.
