It is amazing how much of a colloquialism this phrase has become. I bet that there are many younger people (younger than me-29) who know and use the term but have no idea where it came from.

In a related story, the Swedish Secretary of the Treasury Anders Borg was sued this morning by Prince for unauthorized use of a Prince song.

Borg said that the bonus tradition in the banking world has to stop, and that this will be a topic for the G20 Summit in Pittsburgh 24-25 September.

Arguing on the internet is like running in the Special Olympics...even if you win, you're still a retard. | |

As an aside, I was 19 in 1999 (I turned 20 late in December of that year). Consequently, I did the bulk of my partying in 1999. Because of that, this song has a certain significance in my life. Hey ! My son was born in 1999 !!! T'was a party !!!! "open your heart, open your mind
A train is leaving all day..." | |
