i went back to watch this one with my young child, and somewhere early on the main old white guy screams loudly that (if something good at work didn't happen soon) he's going to "... KILL MYSELF..." loudly, with enunciation, at the dinner table with his kids and shit.
and i was like oh my fucking god that's where i first heard that phrase
which had set me on a course of using that phrase a few times throughout my young life. I was always very surprised by the reaction that received.

I once gave a wizard a name
to me the request was quite plain
Instead of a friend
I got Beethoven
When all I wanted was a dog

I made a request I thought sound
Of an elderly wizard I found
Beethoven I sought
Yet a German I got
When I really just wanted the hound

I did better & I do worse
To some, the sun is a curse
For all whom are wanting
And those who are haunting
I once was once Irish first!

There is a movie series called Beethoven about a large St. Bernard dog.

Thank you. I thought this was a meme about Beethoven being kinky or something

And a lot of Americans have probably never heard of the guy the dog's named after.

There's a 1992 movie called Beethoven, where Beethoven is the dog's name. (The main character)

This could take time to explain
To some this might seem lame
But I feel incised
To your simple eyes
And Bethoven is not just a name
