Random Oddness and Odd Randomness

Okay, so like I said, the IWN is a horridly written novel, but damn it, it's my first novel, and a completed one at that. As you all know, I've been rereading it for the first time in years.

Talk about strange mentions of pop culture: someone mentions Dangermouse, another person mentions--get this--a "Certs encounter." Okay...does anyone aside from me remember that phrase from the commercials? Talk about flashbacks...

....

And on a completely unrelated note, and I'm sure some of you already know this, maybe not, I finally found out what "SWLABR" (as in the song by Cream) stands for: She Was Like A Bearded Rainbow." Not sure if that has anything to do with female facial hirsutedness or something else. But now I finally know what the acronym stands for.

The 'Certs encounter' was before the Richard Jeni ads, right?

Yeah. This was some time in 1986, I believe.

I loved Dangermouse as a kid. :D
