Meh at Best

Long time, no see. (Though my traffic graph shows a whopping 41 people showed up two days ago, so thank you for holding up your end of the bargain while I was away.)

I stepped into the t-shirt racks yesterday and was suddenly transported to the year 2000. (Watch them all!)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to remember Christopher Walken uttering the cowbell catchphrase. The illustrious Wikipedia identifies Will Ferrell as the writer of the sketch, but the t-shirt questions that idea.

If exhibit A didn't sell the idea for you, take a closer look at a blurry photo. (Pretty sure that's one of Anthony Weiner's pick-up lines.)

So Paul Frank is taking ownership of the cowbell line, which he manages to pull off because it's just an allusion to the copyrighted material and not a theft of the entire catchphrase. (If this blog stood for more than just entertainment value, I could dig up the actual code of law...but suffice to say that this shit is 100% legal.)

The kind of friend who steals your shit and "forgets" to give it back.
