This exchange
happened just as you see it, with neither of us aware that Bryant's
steak-happy father had, in fact, named his son after
Japanese meat.
Which begs the question: what food do you love enough to turn
your firstborn into an homage?
Gwyneth digs apples, Claudia Schiffer loves mandarin
oranges and I came this close to doing it myself but we
had a girl and Cheeseburger, of course, is a boy's name. But
then, a child by any name would sound
as sweet.
Better
yet, let's reverse the reverse-eponym thing: what kind of meal
would history name
after you? How would it be served? Give it a thought and
let me know at graham@wordsandpicturesonline.com
Thanks
to everybody who voted in last week's words vs. pictures - I
was delighted to see the moron vote at an all-time low! Jamie's
not so much delighted as extremely bitter about his loss. He
maintains you must not have understood the question, or else
you certainly would have sided with him. Jamie, if I can gracefully
cede the merits of testicle-slapping,
I think you can gracefully discontinue your Nazi eugenics program.
Check out
this week's
debate here.
