What's in a name?

So, like a million years ago, maybe 4, I wrote an email message or an ICQ message to Al and used a phrase like "yeah, but that's my bag of squid to kick down the beach." It was like a cross between the phrase "like kicking dead whales down the beach" and something a bit more disgusting than rotting whale carcass.

Then I promptly forgot about it. I do that a lot.

Later on, he used the phrase, I think intentionally to quote me to me, and I thought it was hilarious.

"It's your phrase, you know," he said, or something like that.

Sure enough, after a bout of searching which I'm unable to perfectly reproduce here so an exact date-and-time is unavailable, I discovered this kernel of obscene wisdom. I can't believe I said it. It was proof that I can be funny, that I have comedic timing. It also shows that, occasionally, even the blind squirrel finds a nut.
