Carol, I heard that Japan has a universaly known and nearly ancient idiom regarding puke.

Literal translation is "vomiting up the cowardice of weakness"

In light of George Bush the senior puking on the shoes of the ambassador at a Japanese State Dinner, they had an additional inside laugh that we did not even suspect.

stuff heard round thanksgiving:

So where did you find any ammunition left?
What time are you getting up to go shopping?
I feel like a beached whale
You mean you gave the dealer the Buick Grand National as a clunker in trade for this Ford Fiesta?
BRAAAAAAAAAP ....awkward stinking silence, "bad dog, bad dog."
