Yo! That was the illest

Yo! That was the illest rhyme I ever seen!

While working with superlatives in a Latin passage today, I came across a word that I should have translated as "The sickest" or "The most ill". Instead, I said "The illest", which immediately conjured images of the Beastie Boys running around a small island fighting off Roman Pirates. A few laughs were then had and we moved on... so I stabbed him.

Some people launch into the entire, "so I stabbed him" routine. Not me. I prefer to just use the one line and move on. It's one of the few instances where I lift something from a routine and only use the one little piece, but I think it keeps the spirit. A few people will know what I'm talking about and others will wonder why I stabbed somebody, thereby making my shaggy dog story more interesting.
