I Sense A Great Disturbance In Something Or Other
07/30/2002 - 7:42 p.m.
Odd things are happening.
They cause me worry.
First of all, I have learned that PoppoTartos are now smaller, but the box is still the same size! I discovered this when I opened a box of frosted raspberry PoppoTartos earlier. This is worse than the kind of jippery that candy bar manufacturers used to pull with those cardboard tray dealies that made you think that the candy bar was as big as the wrapper, or purt near, when it just plain wasn't.
Btchy would say I shouldn't be eating frosted raspberry PoppoTartos anyway, and she'd be right. But they don't make baby carrot flavored PoppoTartos, frosted or not, so there I was.
Second, I was having a super hard time figuring out what was the deal with "Running Scared" by Roy "The Big O" Orbison. I could not for the life of me figure out if it was in 3/4 or 4/4 time. This seems crazy, because it's one of the all-time simplest tunes, though simultaneously one of the coolest.
Turns out that the reason I was having such a hard time is, it's in both. Starts in 3/4, ends in 4/4. Tricky feller, that Roy.
Third and most disturbingly, I turned to my coworker Frick for help in determining which time signature it was in. This seemed like a good idea, as Frick is, after all, a drummer. Who is not unfamiliar with the rock genre.
I figured I could just go into his office, say "Running Scared - 3/4 or 4/4?" and walk out 3 (or 4) seconds later with the answer.
There was really only one problem with this plan, and it immediately became apparent, when he said, with complete straightfacedness and honesty, "I've never heard of it."
Now really. What kind of jamoke gets to be in his mid-30s without hearing "Running Scared," let alone never even hearing of it?
This is not right. Not right at all.
No.
