8TH WONDER OF THE WORLD
I'm going to gratuitously try to engender some puppy love here at Lexiphane.com. The other month, my brother and his better half adopted a Shep/Lab mix that they named Taj Mahal. I wondered why they'd named their dog after a mausoleum. They didn't. When I mentioned it to my friend Meg, she asked "Oh! After the musician?" Apparently I'm not as cool as I thought I was.
Mr. Mahal is apparently a famous jazz guitarist. Six months ago, he was designated by the state legislature the "Official Blues Musician" of Massachusetts. Hmmm, that seems like a dubious distinction; with Massachusettes being such a hotbed of the blues and all. But you can't help where you're born.
Taj the dog hasn't mastered any stringed instruments yet. Reportedly, he hasn't yet mastered not shitting indoors. But my brother is apparently mastering becoming a pet owner. Congrats man. They can be a lot of fun.
