Okay, I have to admit that ketchup on carrots made me shudder. But mustard on Doritos kind of intrigues me. I have a sick mind, too, eh?

Great! Catalina is similar to French, only a bit sweeter and creamier. I’ll eat horseradish on practically anything! C’mon over!

My daughter knew someone whose father thought Bud was the very best.

Pooh, not only do I know the worlds, but I have the album that it is on, and my family often sings it in the car.

And to add to another subthread, I have several jackets with a banana slug logo, from a workshop I was involved in. We never sang the song though, nice to learn it.

Not entirely, my Ciceronian friend - I won’t watch MMA (or boxing, for that matter), and don’t particularly like beer or buffalo wings. (Though I can’t say I _loathe_ them. ) So you get no hatin’ from me, bro.

I love cream of mushroom soup right from the can! Many a college dinner consisted entirely of this.  
I bet I’m the only person who eats PB&J with butter/margarine.

Nope…in our house the butter is put on the between the jelly and bread to keep the jelly from soaking into the bread.

Nope!

I prefer mustard, but fried bologna sandwiches are tasty with butter, too.

I liked it. But then a pizza has to be really bad before I don’t like it (as compared to ‘that was good, although I’ve had better’)

Wrong.

I’m sure I’m not the only one, but I’ll throw this out: I’m _might_ be the only one who used to take butter sandwiches in my lunch. In other words, white bread and butter. And that’s it.

Another unlikely but possible one: I might be the only one on the board who as made up more than three languages, complete with alphabets (they’re not finished, but they have a few words, some grammar, how to construct the words, and a writing system that isn’t Latin-based)

Heh. The first line that came to mind for me.

The reason, **ivan** , (I believe you’re in the UK, right?) that a number of us know the words to this song is because of a novelty/comedy radio program called the “Dr. Demento Show.” At the end of the show, there was a countdown for the five most requested songs of the week, called “The Funny Five Countdown.” Fish Heads was a perennial favorite, and very often made this list. The only other song I could think of as consistently popular on that show is “Dead Puppies.”

Speaking of which, am I the only doper who knows (without looking it up) the source of the musical samples he used to count down the numbers in the Funny Five?

Dead Puppies aren’t much fun… I remember a song called “Harry’s Jockstrap,” and many of the words; and “Another One Rides the Bus,” by Weird Al.

I remember Harry’s Jockstrap and lots of others. Wasn’t it to the tune of “Are you Sleeping?”? My dad had a Dr. Demento tape when I was a kid and played it all the time. Do you remember “I wanna kiss her but…”?

And damn these nested quotes are annoying.
