It goes without saying that my favorite fictional dog is Snoopy, but I'll say it anyway.

I'm sure that it will come to no one's surprise that I considered the name Snoopy when I was getting Hyvvie. I mentioned the hymn tune Hyfrdol to a friend and she said I should name the dog I would soon be getting that instead. It got shortened to Hyvvie pretty quickly.

Charles Schulz originally wanted to name his fictional beagle Sniffy, until he found out that the name was already copyrighted. So Snoopy it was.
And thank the Gods for that!

Snoopy is certainly a better name.

There was a modern-day comedy-noir movie from 1998, "Out of Sight" -- which I didn't watch because I hate Jennifer Lopez -- in which one of the criminals was nicknamed Snoopy.
That's another reason I didn't watch it, because with people constantly calling a vicious criminal "Snoopy," I probably would've laughed at all the wrong times.

Whenever Jennifer Lopez makes her latest "comeback," I laugh so I may not weep. Same thing with Britney Spears. They are both, IMHO, two of the sorriest excuses for entertainers that I've ever had the misfortune to see and hear.

A lot of modern music is not to my liking. I tend to dislike loud sounds and heavy percussion. I particularly don't like amplified sounds. My musical tastes run toward classical, traditional Broadway, traditional pop/standards, folk, early rock n'roll, and some jazz. Traditional choral music is probably my very favorite.

I especially dislike the use of autotune. It just makes singers sound metallic.

Sadly, too many singers depend on that now.

I still remember the Spanish-language jingle from my childhood for Singer sewing machines.

I remember being taught sewing for Home Economics back in High School.
As with most such classes, we also had to memorize a lot alongside our practical training. We had to memorize the parts of a sewing machine... But Home Economics was better than PE. We had one term for basketball, but we only played one game. The rest of it was spent memorizing the history of basketball, the diameter of the ball, the length of the basketball court...

A relative of mine forgot the eggs mornay they made in home eccy over the holidays. I think it forms part of our countries secret chemical warfare stockpile now.

Taking advantage of the Labor Day holiday, I made The Boyfriend French toast for breakfast this morning. I don't think I had ever made it before. It was very good. It had a nice bite, but didn't have that egg "skin" on it that French toast gets if it's not made right.

I think IB is using "cooking" as a metaphor.

Do you use petit-fours as metaphors?
