This was a bit of a serendipitous discovery. Yesterday I was at work, and I happened to put on the album "London Calling" by The Clash. The person I was working with said she loved The Clash. She said that her favorite Clash song was Should I Stay or Should I Go. I said, "I thought that song was by The Ramones." She assured me that it was The Clash, and to save you any suspense, I'll just say right now that she was correct. Shows how much I know about music, eh? But, as any self-respecting modern American would do, I decided to appeal to Google for the answer. Rather than just search for a Clash discography, I thought I'd type in the phrase, "Should I Stay or Should I Go."

I won't tell you what happened, but if you want to be astounded, go to Google, type in:

should i stay or should i go

And hit the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button. Last thing I expected to find.

I think they've added a page since you searched. I clicked "I'm feeling lucky" and got an Amazon page for a book about saving your marriage.

And the Ornery page, which I believe you're referring to, is by David Michael Rothschild, not OSC.

I know. But it linked to Ornery. That's what surprised me. Not a page that had anything to do with The Clash, but our very own Ornery American.

You're such a buzzkill, Goat. [Razz]
