Not Bob, the name of the band is "Fun.". That innocuous little punctuation mark appended to the band name makes me want to drive my fist through the lead singer's face. I might not feel so strongly about it if I did not despise their music. But I do despise their music. Or at least I despise that "We Are Young" song and the little number you linked us to, which is all I know of them. But I am going to disagree with Hank and say that if you like them you should listen to them. But maybe just in private, and certainly not around other adults.

Mentioning that band and queen in the same sentence is like mentioning Kate Upton's vag and a meat grinder in the same sentence. Yeah, you can put your dick in both.

Wow. From Icky to Flower to Sebby to Hank to Flinty to Adder - across the spectrum of taste in music, the sentiment of disdain is unanimous. I think that is impressive.

Can I still mojitos in the backyard?

Sorry, listening to that song, the 30 seconds before I puked in my mouth, made me want to drive my car off the GW bridge.

Hank is going to handle your advice going forward. But go ahead and muddle your mint. You can make the work go more quickly if you listen to that Fun. song.

*No offense, Hank.

The Thin White Duke look would play well in Delaware Chancery or before certain AAA panels, but for juries? I think we'd have to get the mid-career acting version of him fresh off the set of "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence" and make him think he was playing Albert Finney playing Ed Masry.
