Sentences that are meaningless anywhere else

I saw the title of your ad when I was scrolling through, all I could think was Tibetan Quaalude was some new strain of marijuana.
Today I wrote the following, and wondered what it must sound like to a non bass obsessed human:

"I'm being forced to sell my Blue Colander Tibetan Quaalude to make room for my Earthbound Throat Locust."

Let's hear some more bass or music specific statements that make no sense in the outside world.
 
Simply describing the relationship of being in a band to the average schmoe.

Ergo, I borrow from some rocker dude in an old MTV interview who said something like, "Being in a band is the closest a group of people can get without actually having sex with each other."

It's 100% true, but sounds so weird and awkward to anyone who has never been in a band. Being in a band has all the best, worst, and most complicated aspects of friendship, family, marriage, and work relationships.
