No one's looking at the clock 'cause there's nowhere to climb
A music meme is making the rounds of my friendlist! I picked it up from ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
kore specifically. I believe the theory is to fill in the blank with the first title that comes to mind and not overthink it. This has produced some intriguing results.
A Place: The Mountain Goats, "Andrew Eldritch Is Moving Back to Leeds"
A Food: The Dead Milkmen, "The Great Boston Molasses Flood"
A Drink: Classic Ruins, "Nyquil Stinger"
Animal: Norma Tanega, "Walkin' My Cat Named Dog"
A Number: Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer, "236-6132"
Color: Marissa Nadler, "Blue Vapor"
Boy's Name: PJ Harvey, "Yuri-G"
Girl's Name: Art Brut, "Emily Kane"
Profession: Lal Waterson, "The Scarecrow"
A Vehicle: Ian Wallace & Donald Swann, "A Transport of Delight"
I had an exhausted and difficult day, but was legitimately cheered up by watching friends online argue over the conjugation of yeet. Someone defended the use of the perfect passive participle yote into the sun by invoking the Great Vowel Shift. Humanity at its finest.

For number what immediately popped into my head was--via you--was Pray for Polanski's 9191911. ... hmm, maybe I need to do this meme.
ETA: I like that your food could *almost* double as a drink and that neither exactly occupy traditional places in their categories.
I still don't know what yeet means, though I've had it explained to me by my son. On principle, though, I like the Great Vowel Shift in the perfect passive participle, and I agree: humanity at its finest.

"It's the nastiest drink in town / You're a wizard if you can hold one down . . ."
I was told once that it was written as an in-joke, because an early critic of the Boston punk scene wrote a review of a fictitious concert at which assorted nonexistent bands performed their nonexistent songs, and this particular fake title proved irresistible to one of the musicians of the time. I hope it's true.

You should!

Thank you! It was the first thing that came to mind and I justified it on the grounds that I would definitely not drink a glass of molasses. (I wouldn't drink a glass of Nyquil, either, but I understand the theory.)

It was the right kind of argument to encounter on the internet, as opposed to all the rest.
