Why I'm a dork: I noticed a Todd Rundgren ripoff in one of the "Dilbert" animated cartoons!
I've started renting the "Dilbert" DVDs from Netflix recently. Last night, I was watching the very first episode of the series ("The Name") when I heard some music that sounded very familiar. I went back to check, and sure enough, it was a blatant ripoff of Todd Rundgren's "Pulse" (from The Ever Popular Tortured Artist Effect, the same album that featured "Bang The Drum All Day"). Only 7 seconds, and there were a few altered notes, but it was very clearly a "tribute" of sorts to Todd Rundgren.

(For the curious, it occurs at 7 minutes, 50 seconds, and references the second half of "Pulse.")

1. Then again, there's the fact that you are still watching the Dilbert cartoons.
But that's a lot of dorkiness. :patriot:
