Earlier I had lunch in a café that offered a “Prince tribute dinner” - you eat dinner while a soundalike artiste plays Prince songs.

A coworker speculated “I wonder what the dinner would be?”

I fired back:

"I suppose they’d serve something made with Purple Grain…

…a Little Red Courgette…

…and a Rasberry Soufflé!"

We also noted there was a David Bowie tribute dinner on another night, at the same café. A third coworker suggested they might serve you “Spiders from Mars Bars”. This was a little less satisfying as a pun but we allowed it - just.

After we’d stopped laughing at our own wit, I then tried to think of more. I couldn’t. Can you? (Any artist would be applicable if you run out of Prince and Bowie.)

You can get the entire meal for $19.99, plus gratuity for the transportation provided by the Lady Cab Driver.

I got nuthin either.
