However, Shakespeare never credit the select committee of Welsh aldermen nor did he pay them. Thus the expression “to welsh on someone.” ---

Welsh Alderman’s Editing Committee’s favorite “sporting house” has a motto “Editors Tied Up, Beaten, Whipped and Well Hung.” It’s written on the door with a specially made, super-sized Magic Sharpie. ---

Well Hung embarked on a career in music with the song She Bang. The song didn’t chart. His brother William Hung made it a hit first using the name Ricky Martin then later, his own name. Well Hung is now in the movie business. ---

Well hung is a term first applied to executions. When men were hung, they would often sport an erection, and the spectators, when they saw a particularly prominent erection, would say, “Well hung!” ---

Of course, local newspapers covering the execution would claim the spectators were talking about the execution scaffolding. Writing about execution equipment erections was considered genteel, writing about the executed erections was considered too scandalous. ---

Fact: Just now, I failed the opportunity to use Execution Erections on the Made-Up Band Names thread. But know this - the band, Execution Erection, a death-metal band from the 1990s scored on Billboard’s top 100 with the song _My Coffin Lid Won’t Close_. ---

Rolf Harris was the real singer of the version of MacArthur Park supposedly sung by Richard Harris. After hearing the song, he sabotaged the album cover and liner notes, crediting it to Richard. Shortly after the song came out, Rolf Harris disappeared, never to be seen or heard from again. ---

Richard and Rolf Harris have been signed to do a remake of the original Blues Brothers movie. As bad as that sounds (oh, the pain, the pain) it will still be better than hearing them sing MacArthur Park. ---
