cutting edge

Driving to work. The radio is playing. As can only happen in the ear-bleeding wasteland that is Halifax radio, Marky Mark started playing. I shook my head in desperation.

Me: Damn. Ossssscar-nominee, Marky Mark. Wow. Did you ever think you’d say that? “Oscar-nominee, Marky Mark”? Or “Oscar winner, Eminem”? Or “Oscar winners, Three…”

[Pause.]

Me: Damn. What’s their name?

My Lovely Wife: Who?

Me: You know… “It’s Hard Out Here for a Pimp”. Three… something Mafia.

My Lovely Wife: Three… Four Mafia? Three… Twenty-Two Mafia?

Me: Three… Alligator Mafia…?

My Lovely Wife: Oh! Three 6 Mafia!

Me: Yes! That’s it!

[Pause.]

Me: Yeah. We’re hip.

    I have never heard of Three 6 Mafia… and the only reason I know the line “Damn it’s hard out here for a pimp” is because Michael Bolton is playing that in his car on the way to work in “Office Space”. Love that movie.
