Anyhoo (yes "anyway" was already taken).

A piss-take surely?

W Ketchup [Cue the usual bunkum about being proudly American]. Let me guess, it perfectly compliments IDF Pizza. Shame it's not yet available in Walmart.

Sometimes they worry me.

And that's two W's I forgot. Yesterday, fairly early on in a long drive, we passed a Range Rover with a number plate ending NUW [that's passed as in it had just overtaken us, and then round the next bend was slamming to a halt on the verge, having just had the tailgate fly open. Such things tend to attract attention]. For some reason we decided that it obviously stood for National Union of Whatever, and so spent the rest of the journey trying to think of suitable W's. There are a lot of W's out there. Some sounded convincing, and might well have once had unions, such as wherrymen, wharfingers, wainscotters, wainwrights and whippers-in. And some didn't. I'm particularly proud of the national union of Warhens. Like moorhens only more aggressive.

Obviously we decided that the NU of Warmongers was much more likely to be the International...

Perhaps NU of Welwyn-Garden-City-Dwellers might have been pushing it a bit. As was the NU of Wound-up-people. And we weren't sure if the Nation Union of Whom-Users would be a great success. As for NU Wafflers, well, we couldn't agree on which meaning it would be.

I think that would only happen with certain carfuls of people. Especially given how so of the more obviously W's never got mentioned. Could there be a National Union of people who say "Walker with an N"? [Huzzah! that site currently reads "Access Denied. You don't have permission to access "http://www.georgewbush.com/" on this server". Either it knows what I'm putting as the link, or it's figured out that I'm not in a swing state, and so can go to hell].

[Search Google for Bush, and get ads for home appliances. Huh? Oh that Bush].

Reverting to the "red sauce" [surely an innately Democrat product, unless the usual left wing-right wing colours are reversed in USofAland]. If people can throw rotten tomatoes at speakers they dislike, how about some inventive Democrats subvert this campaign, and lob a few bottles of Tommy K at Bush? W Ketchup, natch [preferably in collector's edition glass bottles].

[RT's FP is currently carrying I am David. Wow, a film of an obscure book I had to read years ago in English. About all I remember of it was having to look up Thessaloniki so I could draw a map of his route (it didn't help no atlas listed Salonica, as it is in the book). It was quite a good map. I think I got a house point for it].

By the way, why does the Open University control what is or isn't Kosher? Yes, I was exploring the W Ketchup site [see the FAQs]. Now what would you make of this press release, quoting J.F.Che [bad pun]?

Now I'm even more confused. So is the W Ketchup site a Democrat ruse to prove how unthinking Republicans are? Or does it really exist? Or is all some hoax, as dreamt up by a guy in bedroom somewhere, whilst wearing his pyjamas [and his kerning hat]? Or is it simply someone flogging overpriced ketchup to all takers?

Random exercise of the day. Compare and contrast: Billionares for Bush and Communists for Kerry. And why's this feel like the chicken and the egg? Or just B3tad politics?

Strangely I prefer the Communist aesthetic. Especially "The People's Cube" [scroll down in the store].

Random blog for the day. Hamburg Wesleyan Worship Arts, from Blogger's FP. Because yesterday I came up with the National Union of Wesleyan Baptists. How was I to know they're not?
[And that's not Hamburg Hamburg, as in the one in Germany. I think this one is in upstate New York].

Anyhoo,

PS. Diversion for the day. A plumber I met recently had the name Michael Generic [obviously not actually Generic]. He mentioned that there were 8 other M Generics in his family, as his father did it to annoy either the postman or the taxman. How many other forenames beginning with M can you think of [not counting variations on a name such as Mike and Micky]? I get stuck once I get to Marmeduke [or Marmaduke as Google corrects me].
