A long time ago, Puff Daddy made a record called "All About the Benjamins." Shortly thereafter, Al Yankovic did a parody called "All About the Pentiums." I saw the video for the latter and thought that it was nice that Al was doing something original. I didn't know about the Puff Daddy record; hell, I didn't know that "all about the benjamins" was a catchphrase. (If I had, I'd probably assume that it was about Richard Benjamin and Paula Prentiss.)
Alice used to tease me about this. There was once a headline in The Onion along the lines of "Area Man Recognizes No Pop Culture References After 1988." She said that it was about me. I had to say, "Fair enough."
