That's what it took to flush you out of Lurkdom? ;) Welcome aboard!

Yes, I could have said "exponential fade," but those come in a variety of flavors. And where's the sizzle in that name? A term like "swordfish head fade" sells, while "exponential fade" just sits there gathering dust on the shelf, then is savagely drilled, sawn or otherwise defaced prior to being unceremoniously consigned to the cutout bin. More importantly, "swordfish head fade" immediately gets the point across by producing a striking mental image of what the fade looks like. That alone should be enough to make Barnes & Barnes proud!

Now, "marlin head fade" would have meant roughly the same thing, but that might've muddied the waters by conjuring up images of the T.K. family's Marlin record label. Plus the swordfish head fade is different from your standard bluefin tuna fade, gar fade, sawfish fade or the bottom-feeder bullhead/catfish fade.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to investigate the tail fin of "Main Title (Theme From Jaws)." ;)     

The promo 45 fades from 3:29 to 3:44.

That's not funny in the least, and is redundant with the earlier posts, but I wanted to contribute to the thread somehow.
