It's not a given what I'd pick if the choice stood between Hákarl and Velveeta

Oh, and we haven't mentioned Casu marzu in a while, have we?

Or, I suppose it could be drowned out by bacon or beer or barbecue or brisket or babes or other more appealing topics

Now we're talking!

If I ever go to Texas I'll stop by his grave and share a bottle of Winking Owl with him. Yeah, I think that would be the proper thing to do.

I think the answer to RoxnDox's question is "No way". In fact, I would be very careful if I were you - I think I saw a local squirrel working on a new design for the can - I couldn't quite see the picture on the front, but I think it had some green and some bagpiper on it.

After all, why would squirrels like bagpipers any more than the rest of us?

The green bagpipers aren't quite ripened yet, though, are they?

And gives us a public holiday.

Yet in Canada the Queen's birthday is May 24, pronounced "the May two-fer". Two-fer" is pronounced the same as a two- fer, a 24 pack of beer, which is required for entrance to May two-fer parties all over Canada. it's confusing to expatriate yanks but intuitive to my Canadian children. They say "the May two-fer" without blinking. I still have to pause and consider the options.

If you mention "the Queen's Birthday, you get a puzzled look> "read your calendars you dimwits, we aren't celbating packs of beer, We are celebrating the birth of our queen, even though most of us deny her existence. NASA pays an actor to play her. They have to, to prove Australia exists.

Funny how one woman can have all those birthdays.

And, yet, Canadian motels have been happy to take our $$$$ various times - including one in Leamington where we used two rooms in three days because we managed to get the toilet to overflow in the first one.

Well, at least nobody can claim you're full of... it after that!
