To be fair, if it’s thunder, it’s probably just a fart.
If it were chocolate tsunami from down under, that would be more worrisome.
You don’t want to know about chocolate lightning from down under. Oh trust me.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that!
Not to mention, when I see the phrase “chocolate thunder from down under” my mind leaps to “chocolate” + “thunder” = “chunder”

An old Stuckey’s restaurant on I-57 south to Champaign used to have a sign posted out front: “Eat and Get Gas”. It’s now an adult bookstore…
Isn’t there another British dessert called “spotted dog”? Then there are “bangers and mash”, mushy peas, pig’s trotters, and bubble and squeek.

So what was it like to have Elvis as a father?
For some reason, I thought that’d be antibiotics.
Turkey Hill ice cream.
It’s just a brand name, but the thought of turkey-flavored ice cream turns the stomach.
Kankakee, exit 308?
I bought some packet sugar candy to keep around at work. It is called Uranus. I just liked asking people “want to suck on Uranus?” The stuff itself looks like the colored pebbles you put in aquariums. Tastes like it too.
I checked out their website, and it’s there, you just have to look under “Produkte” “Breakfast & Bagels”. No idea where the “Dick Mc Day” comes from (notice the space between “Mc” and “Day”, maybe that’s to avoid the impending lawsuit?) Even stranger is that you can order bagels online, and they will be sent to you via mail. What’s that all about?
In terms of unfortunate food names, I’m in Japan at the moment, and saw an advertisement for the ubiquitous crêpe, only it was spelled “the best crap in town”.
I think so, but I’m not sure. It’s south of Kankakee, IMS.
Yeah, that’d be it. I have sisters who worked there to help pay their college tuition.
Off topic, I suppose, but…
My sister and her cow-orkers at a pizza restaurant spontaneously went on strike once until the manager changed the sign out front which read, “Our waitresses make eating out a pleasure!”
Today I went for a drive in the local hills and mountains. I drove through a town called “Ochsenwang”. Now Ochsen translates to Ox, Oxen or Bull(s). I don’t want to know what “wang” translates to, because I’m afraid it might not mean what I hope it means.
I’d put “Bull Wang”, Germany up there in the pantheon of great town names like Toad Suck, Arkansas.
If you keep going towards Austria, you will be able to find this little gem.
“Wang”, btw, seems to mean field. (link is in German)
“Toad in the Hole”-sounds delicious!
