On behalf of the Esoteric c0wz' Society, I hereby officially flame you. The cows will be by shortly

That thar McDonalds ain't no meat innyway. They done made dem burgers otta Stah-ra-fome, an
flaverred 'em with mint!

(Everytime I've eaten at McDonalds, I've gotten burgers that taste vaguely of mint, with no other
flavor, and the consistency of Styrofoam. I think the only way that people can eat that is loaded
with icky flavor-distractors like onions and ketchup...)

I like that one, but it's scarcely more accurate. Then again, who (other than the occasional USian)
would want to be a "Merkin"? Okay, that'll do.

I don't think that's them. Wasn't there a Japanese or Korean Co. making some too. I don't see your
average rice rocket owner being able to afford P Zeros...

Yup. Just got a new pair of Nomex shorts, had to give them a proper test.

The prospect boggles the mind...briefly.

Hmm, is that the reason for the name of the President (Merkin Muffley) in
Dr. Strangelove? After all, the names were all significant in that movie - General Jack D. Ripper,
General Buck Turgidson, Col. Bat Guano.

Right. That's how we know it is the end.

Greatest movie ever! This was our squadron film in the old days when I was flying nukes.

Major Kong - Slim Pickens - B-52 Commander, Our Hero!

Pres. Merkin, WC Monte Markham, and of course Dr. Strangelove - Peter Sellers.

She's suing the cow? For what, a pound of flesh?

I don't suppose she mentioned how she came to be running in the field the cow was grazing in, but
I'm sure it must have been public property. If someone runs around in my fields, I wouldn't mind if
my cow (if Ihad one) were to chase her off. But maybe Boulder is a different world....

Dear H.M.,

Rick's delicacy may have prevented him from explaining things sufficiently. The use of "merkin" to
refer to us 'Mericans is not just an imitation of our rugged accent.

Look the word up--I dare say no more.

Except that yeah, that's the sort of thing only a bunch of limeys would dream up, much less wear.

Makes the President's name in Dr. Strangelove even more a propos!
