More essential than a singing fish...

I quote from “The Lighter Side” catalogue that was lying around here for some reason. [sub]ahem[/sub]

“SALE! Spatula Talks Back! Flipping Burgers has never been more fun! Just press the button on the handle and hear one of these fun phrases: ‘Mmmmmmmm smells real juicy, now we’re cooking!’ ‘Ouch, quit poking me, I’m not as tough as I look!’ ‘Hey, it’s getting hot on here…flip me, flip me!’ Constructed of highly polished stainless steel. Requires 4 replaceable button batteries (included). Was $18.98, NOW $14.97!”

Am I just being perverted, or what? I mean, I’ve never heard it called “flipping burgers” before…I need to get out more.

You never heard of “flipping burgers”?? What do you call it, then? I supposed you could call it “turning” but I’ve always heard “flipping” used as the verb…

Enjoying your visit to Earth, Dij? It’s also a common synonym for having a McJob, viz, “He’s such a loser, he’ll spend HIS life flippin’ burgers.”

Oh, but I forgot to mention…great thread title! I hate that *&^)% singing fish, but a talking spatula is gotta be worse.

Guys, he was making a joke, in that any of those phrases can also be used for sex. He was saying he’s never heard sex referred to as “flipping burgers” before.

Oh, and there’s nothing more essential than a singing fish.

Even after that mushroomed night, you’ll still maintain this??? :smiley:

If I’d seen that fish that night, it’d have blown my frickin mind!
