Fun With Ampersands!
Well, it seems that Lance has done it again. He has forced the country into its annual state of pseudo-excitement about cycling for one final month. Hopefully, when it comes out that he was on some sort of non cancer-related drugs the whole time, the media will deliver me my seven months back. And I am not paying s&h. You hear that, Media?! Well, maybe I'll pay for the ampersand, but I will shell out a cent for neither s nor h. By the way, this year Lance is not sporting the colors of the United States Postal Service, but is instead riding for Team Discovery Channel (a reference for fans of Martin Prince).
In addition to s&h, here's a great list of other seemingly unrelated words that can be linked together with an ampersand, followed by the average citizen's reaction upon hearing them: Macaroni & Cheese (Super! Not to mention delicious!), Liberals & Conservatives (Oooooo, talk about an odd couple! This should provide some hilarious situation-comedy!), Sodom & Gomorrah (Feelin kinda weird...I'm not sure if I like this one...hope the next one doesn't make me this uncomfortable...), salt & pepper (That's better...unless this is a reference to that rap group...move on! Move on!), Sid & Marty Krofft (Good. Let H.R. Pufnstuf flow over me, morphing deep-rooted bigotry into childhood nostalgia for my cabin-dwelling uncle's funny-tasting candy)
And the musical group of the day that is probably printed on a Japanese t-shirt somewhere, is... Neutral Milk Hotel
