Infinite MonkeysWell, "parallels," actually. See, at work I have just been officially nominated for promotion to a position that could easily be described as the new drummer for Spinal Tap.

What other cultural or historical references can you think of that would parallel these honors, that would warrant RobbL's response, "Congratulations – and I'm sorry"?
