The Commodore Effect

Going to your mates house for a few too many, passing out then waking up at 4:15 in the morning, realising you have to get up for work at 6 and going home. Skulling back half a litre of milk and having a tactical nap before work.
Usually not speaking from experience or anything.

Wow, did you see frogface last night? He had the commodore effect! What a legend.

The Commoner Effect

When you’re a super smart person that hangs out with too many “regular” people and therefore lose your intelligence

“Riya, why did you get a 95 on that history test? Maybe if you didn’t go out to dinner with your commoner friends you could’ve gotten 100.”
^ meanwhile the “commoners” are just other people the same age as you
This is the commoner effect

Cure-to-the-common-cold

Stripping down to your boxers, covering yourself in warpaint, running around the neighborhood, screaming + brandishing a spear.

I found the cure-to-the-common-cold !

British synth pop band popular in the uk in the 1980's but virtually unheard of in the united States. Jangly melodies percolating guitar riffs and coles unique "catch in the throat"lyrics give this band an unique sound not dissimilar to matthew sweet or prefab sprout
One of their most popular songs is "rattlesnakes from their album "1984-1989.this song has been covered by tori amos. The band broke up in 1989
And cole embarked on a solo career
