Today's post is admittedly a little strange, and my next post is even stranger! I'll probably be away from any computers all weekend -- I'm attending a comic convention Saturday, for the first time in at least twenty years -- but I'll answer any and all of your comments when I return, probably on Monday.
Ever hear a song called "Pulling Mussels (from the Shell)?" It was originally performed by the group called Squeeze and appeared on their 1980 album, "Argybargy."

Here 'tis:
Personally, I love the song, but one thing about it has always bothered me. Here are the lyrics of the chorus:
But behind the chalet
My holiday's complete
And I feel like William Tell
Maid Marian on her tiptoed feet
Pulling mussels from a shell
Pulling mussels from a shell
Now, I ask you, fellow babies, what the hell does Maid Marian have to do with William Tell?!? William Tell is a folk hero from Switzerland, while Maid Marian was the girlfriend of the British folk hero, Robin Hood!
Get your archers straight, people!
Thanks for your time.
