They were totally in the news all the time, and then poof, they were gone. Which didn't surprise me, since I figured with all the attention they must have been pure crap, but what did happen to 'em?

And what happened to Hootie and the Blowfish? They actually were kinda almost good - I thought they'd for a good long time.

2. I've actually had no alcohol at all today.
Nor any other drug (which I don't do, anyway).

3. Toad the Wet Sprocket.
Named after a Monty Python sketch. They broke up about 10 years ago.

There's a first time for everything, I guess. :D

8. "Bite the wax tadpole" is the phrase you were looking for
urban legend that it's what Coca-Cola was translated into for the Chinese market...

Probably was a band/album/song or two that picked up on the expression.
