From Robert Coren (John Gintell’s husband) on Facebook:

What we found really cool about this is that, while NEFFA is a thing in our lives, I would imagine that a tiny percentage of the readers of “Pearls Before Swine” had ever heard of it. I think the reason all us dancers got a kick out of it is “Oh, look! NEFFA in print!”
