Michigan Wolverines invented it. Best played at an alternated rhythm closely related to the Garfield theme song but missing the last note.

I put my pants on one leg at a time just like everybody else, but when I put my pants on, I make gold records.

Oh no, I hope this doesn't turn into another one of those "The message is clear" AT phrases...

 

[sandorski]

[dopcombo]

Nice one Adul. Anymore where that came from?

I miss cowbell threads.

before being fully domesticated, cows were voracious human predators. we outfitted them with cowbells to subvert their stealthy nature and save human lives. they have now since been "tamed" and its more of a traditional thing than anything else.
