"The Piranha got EET" is a line from "Play to Win" on Cut the Crap by the Clash (sort of). This week celebrates that album.
It's also an opportunity to recognize Bernie for the godhead he is (which is to say, a god in his own head).

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Oh, I only listened to CtC like once or twice, ever.
No problem. I read that thread so you didn't have to.
That's what I pay you for. If I paid you, that is.

Next time I stop by your bar, I'm going to bring you a copy. And if there is a dj that night, I'm going to make him play Dictator. LOUD.

What the hell, didn't it take you back to hanging out at the arcade while morons were mumbling incomprehensible nonsense behind you?
