I believe that I am on record as having congratulated him first. […nudging closer to Arnold…]

Yeah, congrats, **Arnold**.

But, I gotta ask,… **Noodles**?

Lib, is that a knife you’re holding behind your back? (edging away suspiciously)

Congratulations? When? Where? Thank you for the kind words.

Arden Ranger - a few years ago I announced to all my friends that henceforth I wanted to be known as Noodles. I was roundly ridiculed and no one uses it except myself.

By the way, Y.L. Tengo, I have one of your albums (combination CD of President YLT/ New Wave Hot Dogs) so in your honour I will play it in the car tomorrow.

Awesome awesome. Good CD.

But make sure you play it really loud and with your windows rolled down. Oh yeah, you’ll have to paint “You are now listening to Yo La Tengo” on the side of your car, too. A “Now go buy their CD” wouldn’t hurt, either. 😃
