More Cowbell

So you may have noticed by my tweets today that I, for some reason, decided that the world needs more Cowbell. It's the weekend, the Internet is down at home, and I was looking for funny stuff to tweet about. So I went at it and tried to start #cowbell as a trending topic. A Twitter buddy and I are also trying to come up with Cowbell enthusiast slogans (there are a few we came up with that you can see if you follow me on Twitter: @incidentreport).

But I really mean it. I think we could all benefit from a little more Cowbell.

On April 8, 2000, the infamous Cowbell skit with Christopher Walken, Will Ferrell, and other members of the SNL cast aired. In said skit, Will Ferrell played the member of the Blue Oyster Cult Band who played the Cowbell on the song, "Don't Fear the Reaper." Apparently the cast members who were in the skit get asked about it on a regular basis. Christopher Walken was in a restaurant in Singapore and a guy turned to him and said, "You know what this salad needs?" When he asked what it needed, he replied, "More Cowbell." And might I just say, that gentleman was probably correct. His salad probably did need more Cowbell.

I think somewhere, deep down in the cockles of your heart, you too want more Cowbell. If you want to buy one, click here, and "play the hell" out of it. Because more Cowbell makes the world a better place. Sporting events, bar mitzvahs, tracking your cattle on the open range (in this instance of course, you can't play the Cowbell, the cow does the playing for you), waking up co-workers who have fallen asleep at their desks, startling the elderly and hard of hearing. The uses for Cowbells are endless (and entertaining).

Let me be clear. I need - nay - I demand more Cowbell. Invite more Cowbell into your lives today!
