Trivia

*The title of the CD is taken from William Shakespeare's comedy "All's Well That Ends Well"
*The song "One Day Women Will All Become Monsters" is a reference to Shakespeare's play "King Lear". Many of the lyrics from the song as well as the title of the song are taken almost word for word from the play.
*The song "To Trixie And Reptile, Thanks For Everything" is a reference to old girlfriends of band members Craig Owens and Bradley Bell [ [http://www.theywillrockyou.com/interviews/index.php/interviews/derrick_frost_pat_mcmanaman_of_chiodos Interview of Derrick Frost & Pat McManaman of Chiodos] ]
*The song "There's No Penguins In Alaska" is made up from a number of Shakespeare's sonnets. The chorus comes from line 5 of Shakespeare's Fifth, the term "murderous shame" is borrowed from line 14 of his Ninth, and the lyrics "The worst was this; my love was my decay" are taken from line 14 of his Eightieth.
*The line "star-crossed lovers" from the song "Expired In Goreville" is derived from William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.
*Sandie Jenkins is a woman from Bradley Bell's church who would call his mother, and he could not recall where he had met her, thus the track title.
*In a Podcast interview with AP Magazine, Craig Owens revealed that the song "Baby, You Wouldn't Last a Minute on the Creek" is lyrically about Craig wanting to quit the band, NOT about the end of a relationship like majority assumed.
*The song title "There's No Penguins in Alaska" was originally a Snapple fact from inside of the cap.
