The CannibalRabbit bites back
The Lighter Side [^]has this cookbook guaranteed to be a classic in no time. Must mention recipes include “The Edible Kitty Litter Cake” and “The Booger Bundt”. Apparently a bundt is a cake cooked in a ring-shaped tin.
This has got to be the perfect gift for the cat-lover; or maybe the booger-lover!
It’s one of those guilty secrets that I have – I like reading about mis-heard words or phrases – mondegreens. There is something addictive about it, a guilty pleasure. The only mondegreen that I have experienced first-hand is in Men At Work’s “Down Under” with “He gave me a bit of my sandwich”. Rather puzzling, why someone would give you a bit of your own sandwich – but then some would argue that Australia is a strange place.
Eventually the world has come to learn of Australia’s very own “Vegemite”, especially after the US FDA allegedly banned [^] the import of it earlier this year. Vegemite sandwich makes a bit more sense. But the whole thing is rather mundane in the scheme of things.
One of the internet’s mondegreen goldmines can be found here: http://www.sfgate.com [^] – it also tells you why they are called mondegreens. How did they manage to collect them before the internet?
