The same applies to Maryland Cookies.  People in Maryland have never heard of them.  Maryland isn't famous for making a special kind of cookie, it's a brand name.

Adds tremendously to your WAISTLINE stat though.

Rather than to facilitate a Donald Duck impression, yes.

I thought they were to stop overhead birds from making eye contact.

To keep you looking peaked

The lyrics for the song Frère Jacques are "sonnez les Matines" not "sonny lemotina" which I always sung, having not bothered to ever look it up until 5 minutes ago.

A flat cap does the same. Peaked ones are shaped like that so that they can charge more. Come on, sheeple.

I used to sing "windy orangina" because I am so brilliant.

A windshield shields you from wind.
That sounds * nothing* like " sonnez les Matines".

I think it's main function is to the shade your eyes from the sun, which I can verify works effectively.

I only recently realised Maryland (the State) isn't pronounced Mary(from the bible)-Land, but like Marilyn(the Monroe)-d,
I still call the cookie brand Mary(from the bible)-Land though because I think it's more appropriate.

When you go to the Isle of Dogs and scream MY GOD IT'S THE ISLE OF DOGS LIKE 'THE ISLE OF DOGS PORRIDGE OATS' at everyone you see they just don't know what you mean.

It's because The Isle of Dogs Porridge Oats are actually made in Nunhead.

When making mashed potatoes, phlegm is a poor substitute for milk and butter.

Dogs have knees and elbows and wrists. Their front and back legs operate in different ways.

Head, shoulders, knees and paws,
knees and paws.
Head, shoulders, knees and paws,
knees and paws.
And eyes and ears and mouth and wet nose.
Head, shoulders, knees and paws,

It was his ears that were pointy, I thought.

I met someone from Annapolis years ago when I was in Rome and he pronounced it 'Mirry-land'. I didn't have a fucking clue where he was talking about until he said that it's a local pronunciation and nobody outside of the state says it like that, everybody else says Mary (from the bible) Land.

I hope the same bloke isn't still on his European wind-up tour and got you as well.
