Maxwell Edison, majoring in medicine...

Very Moreyesque set today, innit?

ETA: Did I hear correctly that Marcus is going to bust out '98 tomorrow? [Shudder]

And while I'm here, anyone else think the post-set ad for "It's-my-car-now-daht-cahm" sounds like the vehicular equivalent of subprime mortgages? Not to mention being racially biased?

VHM CSN 49 Byebyes. Always wondered what the story behind this title was.

I think it's about a love triangle, from the perspective of the guy who became odd man out:

49 reasons all in a line.
All of them good ones...
All of them lies.
Driftin' with my lady
we're oldest of friends.
Need a little work, and there's fences to mend.
Steady girl, be my world.
Till the drifter come, now she's gone.
I let that man play his hand.
I let them go, how was I to know?
I'm down on my knees.
Nobody left to please.
On my knees,
Feeling wrong.
Mama's gone
Bye bye baby
Write if you think of it maybe
Know I love you
Go if it means that much to you
But you can run babe
If the feeling's wrong
Before too long it's crazy
And you're trapped babe
And you know that's not where it's at babe
You're just seein' things through a cat's eye, baby.
That's not my old lady
Come on and tell me baby
Who do you love?
Time will tell us
Who is trying to sell us
Bye bye baby
Write if you think of it maybe.
Hey but you can run baby.
If the feeling's wrong, before too long, it's crazy.
And you'll try babe, and you'll know that's not
where' it's at now, baby.
You're just seein' things through a cat's eye, baby.

That's not my ol' lady.
Come on and tell me baby.
You better tell me baby.
Who do you, who do you love?

YES AND YES.  Opportunist bastards.

As to that title - yeah, why 49?  Arbitrary number like those 992 arguments, I suppose?
