Adrian is dead
OK, not really. But in the past couple of days, both Justin and I have used the phrase "rolling in [his] grave" to describe what we imagined to be the inevitable Adrian freak-out over a Beatles cover (or, in my case, the inevitable Adrian freak-out over my fondness for a Beatles cover, i.e., Sarah McLachlan's version of "Blackbird"). The problem is, even though Adrian's obviously not dead, there's really no other term that accurately describes this concept. Still, and perhaps this was because I said it shortly after my near-death experience on the snowy highways of New Jersey, I felt that even implying that Adrian was dead was kind of morbid. So I amended my statement to, "Somewhere, Adrian is going, 'WHAAAAT?!'" (complete with flailing hand gestures). The problem with this amendment, however, is that it really only applies to Adrian and is not likely to catch on in general discourse. So I guess everyone else will just have to be presumed dead.
