I just don't get the cowbell thing; the sketch wasn't that funny.

Thom,
I'm a drummer, so the "cowbell thing" really makes me laugh, kind of like Spinal Tap, it's close to being true but is funny because it's ridiculous. Satire has always appealed to me...

Here's a story to go with your cowbell----> "Researcher Measures the Gases Cows Emit"

An SNL skit..... http://mknx.com/v/cowbell.wmv

I know... 'what does that mean?' is the next line, after the one Kurt said. I was HOPING you would have said, 'never question Bruce Dickens!' But you broke the flow. :p

Aww never mind.

Guys,

Unrelated to this, but similar is my question, where does the phrase "Here there be monsters" come from? I was watching Pirates of the Caribbean with the kids the other day and ths phrase was used and I seem to remember it from somewhere... Anyone know?

I think it's from the earliest English maps of India. On some remote parts of the maps would be written, "Here there be tygers."

Moses,

Thanks! That clears it up! I thought it was a reference to another movie or book (like Moby Dick). Monty Python and MST3K are famous for referencing arcane sources in their humor and I thought this was Disney's attempt...
