The company was formed in 1995 when the Burlington Northern Railroad company merged with the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway company. The latter company was formed in 1859 to serve the cities of Atchison and Topeka, Kansas, and Santa Fe, New Mexico. The railroad, however, bypassed Santa Fe because of the mountainous terrain.
I think we really need to stay away from the non-hole with no toad in it.
Witch doctors are not witches, nor are they physicians who treat witches. Rather, they heal people of ailments caused by witchcraft.
Um, it was designed for masking off things during painting, specifically auto bodies during manufacture. There are different formulations with different adhesive levels. Blue painter’s tape and frog tape are making tapes.
Original name is Ovomaltine, and Ovo is egg. It was changed for the British market, for some odd reason.
Hubby told me I was pronouncing the brand name (Pan-Ty) wrong. It’s pan tie, not pan tee.
The local telecommunication company rebranded their marketing packages. Everything is now Blue. Blue tv, Blue cinema and even Blue children’s shows. Just a bit strange to those who are familiar with blue language and blue films.
Which makes me wonder about Blue’s Clues.

“… But the Mars company’s iconic Snickers bar is actually named after Ethel Mars’ favorite horse.”
When independent CityTV started broadcasting in Toronto on UHF Channel 79 back in the 1970s, they showed “Baby Blue Movies” every Friday night at midnight. These were softcore porn films, often followed by a softcore porn short, and ending at about 2:00 am.
So when I hear, “Blue tv, Blue cinema and even Blue children’s shows,” my only reaction can be, WTF?
The truffles on sale at my local candy store were not dug up in France with the help of pigs.
Those pigs have been useless since they unionized.
“Truffle” is the traditional name for the chocolate candy ball, a French confection so named because it resembles the mushroom.
As someone who moved to the Santa Clara Valley from the shadows of the Cascades, I always chuckled inside whenever I heard reference to the Santa Cruz “Mountains.”
As someone who moved to the Bay Area from Chicago, I chuckled inside (not always good-naturedly) when I’d hear people call San Francisco “The City”.
I had the same what the fuck is this moment as you.
But I think that’s the idea. Let the kids get their water (at a bar or party) but still look cool doing it.
A “Dove bar” could be either chocolate or soap.
The University of South Florida is a couple of hundred miles north of south Florida.
Greenland isn’t green.
And Philadelphia Cream Cheese was originated in Chester, New York.
But what does the name mean? Neither is (AFAWK) made from ground up birds, nor likely brought up from the depths of the sea or fallen from a great height. Perhaps they were lost it Italy?
This is exactly the reason for it, although more for concerts and other large events
Now it’s freeways that do it. The Elgin O’Hare Tollroad outside Chicago goes to neither Elgin nor O’Hare.
Well, not yet, anyway. It should be connected up at O’Hare by 2026; it’s not clear when or if it’ll ever make it to Elgin.
The product Cologuard has been mentioned in some discussions here from time to time. I know it’s a poop test for symptoms of colorectal cancer, but I always have the impression that it’s a laundry product – either a detergent or a bleach safe for brightly coloured fabrics.
