"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I wouldn't be this pedantic if it wasn't the New York Times and if I wasn't weirdly obsessed with correctness in such things, but it's "Lord Lloyd-Webber" with a hyphen. (Yes, even though "Andrew Lloyd Webber" doesn't have one.) Don't ask me how I know this.

Yes. But wouldn't that be showing actual, you know, respect for Andrew Lloyd Webber?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

And how did he get to be a Lord? And can Sir Elton John defeat him in a fight?

And can Sir Elton John defeat him in a fight?

I'd think that's a foregone conclusion. Particularly if the weapon of choice is musical composition.

I can't even.

I'd think that's a foregone conclusion. Particularly if the weapon of choice is musical composition.

Zing! and Hell, yeah.

Oh dear Loward. Flashback to SCTV and the Liberace vs. Elton John showdown as acted by Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas.

I believe he became a Lord the same way Lawrence Olivier became a Lord--the Queen and her minions said, "Nope, he needs more than just Sir Andrew. Slap a Lordship on that man." Then Her Majesty smacked him around with a sword and that was that.

Actually, IIRC, it was colossal donations to the Conservative party.

How do you know this?

I think I read it in a news item at the time he was ennobled and, disturbingly, remembered it.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I believe he became a Lord the same way Lawrence Olivier became a Lord--the Queen and her minions said, "Nope, he needs more than just Sir Andrew. Slap a Lordship on that man." Then Her Majesty smacked him around with a sword and that was that.

So, she did it mostly to have a chance to smack him with a sword again...

This one's for Evita... <SMACK!> This one's for Phantom... <SMACK!> This one's for... No. Wait. We quite liked Superstar... However, we were not amused by Cats... <SMACK!>
