If that brings you joy, have at it.

You just need 14 million clueless people to each give you a $1.

Make sure the iguana is deceased. It is not a dish best eaten fresh.

Hint: "I Walk the Line" has a key change after each verse.

I thought maybe it was a reference to “All In The Family”...

It's probably more common in British usage than North American, but maybe I've just read enough books written by English authors that I knew what was meant.

Anyway, it seems clear to me that they were just having a laugh. In the years before Craigslist eliminated classified ads as their major revenue stream and local newspapers had enough space to fill that they'd interview local musicians, I used to get interviewed in the Anchorage Daily News often enough. Something I would always do is provide the writers interviewing me with some laugh lines they could use in the article. It made for more readable copy, it made their jobs easier and as an indirect result I got more press because of it.

They're doing the same thing. They're pros, and they're providing lively, readable copy. Plus, it's not as though annoyed acoustic guitarists are going to coalesce into an angry mob with burning torches and freshly sharpened pitchforks to hunt them down and skewer them.

Virtual torches are already ablaze, though.
