Another dumb ol' job interview question thread

"Diane..."a place both wonderful and strangeRegistered User regular
So as some people might recall, I had a phone interview a while back. It went well - at least, I thought it went really well (I kept hearing stuff from them like "excellent answer", "great answer", "that's similar to what we do here", etc)
I was told at the time "we'll be in touch in a couple of weeks" - that was three weeks ago. The position is still listed as open (so I assume they haven't found anyone yet), and I assume that Easter threw the timing of things off as well, but I feel like I should be giving these people a call. (The careers people at my college had advised me to send thank you notes after an interview but that totally slipped my mind at the time and I feel like it's too late to do something like that now.)
So, should I call them? (I feel like that's a definite yes, but maybe I shouldn't?) If so, what should I say? I was thinking something like: "Hi, John, I was really pleased to have the chance to interview with you, and I was wondering if you had any updates for me about the position."
I'd really like to land this one for a host of reasons, so any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Calling them lets them know you're still interested, reminds them of who you are, and you might get a little info, like "We expect to have made decisions by the end of the week." Good luck.
So, yeah, I guess this one can get locked up now. :P
A lot of the time, we're just concerned about fit and a few other things.
I was knocked back for a position I had been interviewing for/waiting to hear about for months - I took it with good humour and thanked them all the same, hoped I could try again next time etc. Within a week a position opened up, and they came straight to me. They said they really appreciated the personal email I sent them after they rejected me. :P
