Well yeah, but you are a contrarian.  :lol:

No, it's because "Rosanna" was the first single release from the album (Toto IV), and was the one I was generally listening to my freshman year of HS.
"Rosanna" is also the song that won a Grammy. 'Course, Toto IV won several. I remember that because my mother wanted Melissa Manchester to win it.

Aah, the good old days, sitting around the front parlor listening to the grammies on that new-fangled Phillips console radio with ma and pa, uncle Eb and all the cousins...

What?

Weighing in on Angus' Boringness...  I confess to feeling that way about him, too, but then I realized that a decent, 'normal' guy would probly come across the same way in QC.  Like, what would you and/or your friends be like in a webcomic?  Without Sven-tendencies (I submit a new word, unless someone else said it first: Sventendencies) or some other questionable character traits, wouldn't a decent average guy present like this among the QC core characters?  Just askin'...

One of my earliest clear memories is watching The Real McCoys on a big old b&w television, thanks for bringing that back. :)

In about 6 months, I'm going to look back with Google's records and see a huge spike of searches for "Toto Africa" in mid-August 2010, and it'll all be this strip's fault.

Probably not as big a spike as for the Alphabet Trick.

Hmmm... I think just "Svendencies" would flow off the tongue better. Just typing that pushed the image into my head of some stereotype Scandinavian blonde saying "He-llo. My name is Elsa; I come from Svenden."....

I'm really bothered by the view of Angus as boring.  The man has a quick wit, and that alone defeats teh boring. 

I think it's his stubborn persistance that people are viewing as boring.  People who are persistant about something are often seen as one-note by people who don't have the same focus.  But come on now, without persistance, nothing gets done!

You should see how she talks about you.

(What's scary: I actually SAW her - Melissa Manchester, you dolts - in concert at Summerfest...)

Which in turn puts me in mind of Swindon, and, of course, Diva Fever.

Can't go back to Swindon,
Can't go back to Waterloo.
Can't go back to Debra,
Can't go back to Sheila,

I thought it was sold out!

YOU THOUGHT WRONG!

Also, you can't reference pronouns properly.

dammit, I've got to get out there again and meet some nice ladies.  Haven't been on a date in almost a year. Probably not the best thing for a guy who just turned 32.
