"I'd rather them blow up some hot dogs or some ketchup and mustard and relish than have it be a real bomb," reliever Chad Durbin said. "Better safe than sorry."
That was VERY good, Jabberwokky! And just to further add to your newfound knowledge about All Things American, that Phillies Phanatic thing is a complete Phurry Phreak. He gives me nightmares, he truly does. What a truly ghastly mascot! I can't even recall what the Colorado Rockies mascot is, but I'm certain he makes sense. He may be a little purple dinosaur, but not Barney -- cuter and quiet with no awful singing about how much he loves you. I'd suspect that Phanatic, too. In fact, I would relish the idea of pointing the finger at him, while adding relish to my hotdog at the game.

I really have to say that "American cheese" is a complete oxymoron. I don't eat it! I don't know anyone who does, either.
And do I have to explain who Barney is, or do you get that Phurry Phreak over there? Barney and the TeleTubbies make me twitch...

Oops. Jabberwok. I'm sorry, I got your name wrong. It's the hour, I swear it is. And you are far, far from stupid!
I think I have to sleep before I fall over, but if I need to come back later to explain relish, Phreaky mascots, the Colorado Rockies, Barney, TelleTubbies, or why no one in their right mind would eat "American cheese," let me know and I'll be happy to oblige.
Thank you for letting me post here! You guys are SO funny!
Goodnight for now!

Ah the Teletubbies... a way for the BBC to get dollar rich by selling coloured felt creatures worldwide.
If you ever watch Lord of the Rings, look out for the early scenes of the Hobbit village - they seem to be living in Teletubby land.

>>>a lot of llamas and llamabunnies are British so cheese never stands alone for long over here, we eat it!
And being partly Yorkshire, I often eat cheese with apple pie.
Wensleydale anyone?
Fortunately, my children are a little too old to have been caught up in the Barney and Teletubby sagas, and living in Sussex we were more Winnie the Pooh, Wind in the Willows types.
Except when Nerdlet discovered....Pokemon.

Pokemon .
I've got a lot of sympathy with Ian Hislop :-
"This is the probably worst and worst-drawn film and craze in history, of badly-conceived little monsters that fight each other, and children trade cards and have a fantastic knowledge of a hundred and fifty monsters. They can't remember five countries and their capital cities, but just about every child in the country can tell you that Charmeleon evolves into Charmander and then turns into Machop and then kills someone or other"
Seems a very fair and unbiassed summing-up to me .
Which is why I have difficulty when the mindless little monsters turn up in a quiz !

| I agree! Years ago, I had to take my son to a Pokemon Club every Saturday morning! It was awful! The parents stood around in Toys "R" Us, while the kids traded cards and stuff. Plus, I spent a lot of money on those dang cards! Then they come out with video games, TV shows and movies! Aaaaahhhhhh! I'm glad he's grown out of that kind of stuff. :) |

Nerdlet moved on to Miyusake and learning Japanese. She also has a Saturday job that enables her to pay for her own obssessions.

My teens dislike swearing...although they are excellent at imaginative insults.
They both dislike I'm a Strictly Celebrity Get Me out of Big Brother rubbish.
And they both dislike team sports.
I'd find a passion for any of these things much harder than Pokemon.

A cheeseburger?
I've only experienced a McDonalds one - (is there another kind?)
Hamburger roll, meat pattie, cheese and pickles.
(And I Do Mean One!)lol

| A cheesburger would be any burger with cheese on it. A burger is beef patties between a bun. Without cheese, they're called hamburgers. |

Thank you. I have heard of them but never eaten one.
So why are they called hamburgers if they're made of beef?

Because using minced beef with spices formed into a patty and grilled was a method initiated in Hamburg, and taken to the USA by German immigrants.
