Well, thats fine by me. Unfortunately, my favorite was still 'mamey
spote' or however you spell it (or whatever it was. I've forgotten
already). Maybe we could stick a 'q' in the front just to deal with
the issue. I doubt anyone would notice? Ok, maybe, but... too bad!
QMamey Spote Gnus!
(It just looks like a typo that everyone is making...)
Even better. Pick my other favorite (ok, one of) and it works much
better with a vowel:
Qedible Pea Pod Gnus
Qcool!
Qwes
