I thought that was something one popped into the toaster!!! Just hope you don't get
confused and end up in *Pittsburg* (NO *Aitch*), CAlifornia, on the way home!(:->)
I like to *Gorcefy* the *Ingrish--Ranguage* as much as possible!(:->) It was Leo
Gorcey (Dorsey(?), and if so, then it is *Dorcefy*) who made this popular, yes??
Any and all opportunities to
*King--the--Butcher's--Ingrish*
is fine by me!
