>"What do you call your band?" >"'What Do We Call Our Band?'" >"Uh... that was the question." >"It is also the answer." >"...I'm confused." Some people I knew at WPI had a cat named Sheedy, which was short for She Doesn't Have One Yet, We'll Think of One Later. (And another one who got into some paint and made a mess of the living room carpet, and so earned the name Picasso, short for He's No Fucking Picasso.) Amazingly, neither of those is my favorite cat name from those days. That honor goes to my Swedish friend Heléne's cat Snabblagad, whose name was Swedish for "easy to cook". This is immortalized in UF as the name of the popular dish "snabs and belgad" (which contains no cat). Anyway, running gag aside, we'll find out the JV's band's name next time, and no, it isn't The Junior Varsity. --G. -><- Benjamin D.

A snab is a Salusian root vegetable, similar to a white potato. Belgad is the meat of a Corellian herd animal of the same name, and is more or less interchangeable with beef (as indeed it must be in many 25th-century implementations of older Earth recipes, since belgad are much more commonly raised around the galaxy than Earth cattle). Snabs and belgad takes many forms; the most common are something not too dissimilar to pot roast and a slightly more elaborate version that is basically cottage pie. --G. -><- Benjamin D.

I enjoyed this, but I don't have a lot to say, just that after listening to the track again, I think that make it better do it faster makes us stronger more than ever hour after our work is never over (as reported in the fic) should actually be make it better do it faster makes us stronger more than ever hour after hour work is never over Not entirely sure, but it seems to make a bit more sense? --dbrandon |

I'm pretty sure it's a play on the homophones (that is to say, it's both, but there's no really good way of depicting that symbolically); "our work is never over" turns up by itself several times. --G. -><- Benjamin D.
