Is that “salad” as in Jenny Mae from Nebraska asking if you like your bowl of “SEEAH-lad” or a more Arabic-sounding pronunciation like “sah-LAHD”? Just wondering. ---

You know if we were to name him something derogatory, **Salad** probably would take it as a badge of honor rather than be offended and we do not need to feed his already inflated ego. So we need to make fun of him in a typical American fashion, hense the name “ **Salad** ”. We could use “ **Binny Salad** ” when talking to those who do not yet know of the name change so as to not confuse them. Binny is good cause it relegate him back to a school yard bully. I do like “ **The Target** ” and “ **Bullseye** ”. Those could actually be used to describe Salad. As in “ **Salad The Target** ” and “ **Bulleye Binny Salad** ”. ---

To me, bin Laden sounds like a German phrase for ‘been laid’. ‘Ich bin Laden.’ Of course, it also sounds like an overflowing trash can. But who am I to rubbish bin Laden. (I have been waiting nearly three weeks to drop a full rubbish bin reference into a bin Laden conversation).
