Round and Round They Go

HAHAH! This is hilarious. Almost a week ago my sister and I were joking about renaming Danishes, and here, they've gone and done it!

I prefer our name, though ... 'Infidel Pastries' has such a better ring to it.

If, as quoted by Ronald Wright, 'Every time history repeats itself the price goes up,' would these be very expensive confections?

Vimes In Space! (heehee)

Surely renaming sauerkraut 'Liberty Cabbage' would imply that liberty was fermented and sour? The affront to patriotism!

Exactly! How about implying that the Prophet Muhammed (or his roses) is flaky, sticky and edible? Now THERE'S respectful reverence! You'd think the hypocrisy here would be obvious to everyone...but then, there was a while when I seemed to be the only one around who thought that using terms like "Freedom Fries" was funny only in that it made the US look unbelievably petty and infantile.

If it counts for anything, I thought that too.

Goodness, it counts for a lot! That wasn't a fair statement - I'm sure there were a lot of normal people who felt that way, too - It just felt like, for a while, I'd keep wandering into these loud groups of people who would all think that slamming the French in the most juvenile fashion was not only hysterically funny, but patriotic!

I totally agree with this. I know of a restaurant that actually changed the name on their menus (from French Fries to Freedom Fries), and when I went there a few months ago, they still said "Freedom Fries." I almost died.

Surely you jest

Booo! Booooo! Tell me who they are - I'll make a point of avoiding them if I'm ever in town!
