Y’know, I think Londo used Cock Sauce on his Spoo. I think cock sauce works with anything. It’s the perfect accent to any meal, makes a great snack, and a glorious gargle. ---

:eek: No way! Mr. Brain’s faggots kick ass! Now what will amuse me when I am wandering along the frozen foods section. It just can’t be true. I mean I never even got to taste one cotton pickin’ faggot. [Homer]Mmmmmmm…faggots[/homer] No, I refuse to believe it. Tomorrow when I go back to Uni, I’m going straight down to my local supermarket and checking it out. ---

> [@Eve](#): > > Probably Totie Fields. Hijack, but when I was a very young Faggot eater we used to love to sing “Screw Totie Fields” to the tune of Strawberry Fields. It works far better than the Pink Floyd/Wizard thing. Since the company is in bankruptcy, I wonder how much they’d accept for their logo? I can see this becoming _the_ bestselling T shirt in quite a few genre markets. ---

So, if copyright were secured, would anybody be interested in a T-shirt or totebag of [this image](http://freespace.virgin.net/daz.bert/mirror/rudefood/food/faggots.htm)?

So here’s a challenge- how many movie and book titles can you think of using the _faggots_ food group in? A few that come to mind: _Like Water for Faggots_ _They Eat Faggots Don’t They?_ _Faggots and Sympathy_ ---

I went to Morrisons today for a quick shop and peeked inside the frozen food section. No faggots. ☹ And when I say a quick peek I mean I went down the aisles about 3 or 4 times. Unfortunately the Indian costume is yet to arrive and I had too much shopping to run from security screaming “I WANT MY FAGGOTS!” ---
