But even if the bears had butter and lemons, they'd still need chrome plates for the best dining.

Larry Niven had a book called The Legacy of Heorot

wherein which there was a Big Bad that * SPOILER* lived in the water, but might Overheat if not able to return after a sprint on land. Self Cooking Meal alright...

PS- Funny that: Winds Names. It turns out one of my favorite cars to own and operate is a Volkswagen Scirocco (note slight spelling difference, those crazy Germans...)

Here is what the early kinds looked like:


(Those of us 'old heads' as I keep getting referred to, more and more, don't consider the 'new' Scirocco to be worthy of the name, but at least they tried)...

Not to be confused with Socorro, New Mexico, near the Very Large Array!

At one time VW was naming cars after winds - the Rabbit was "Golf" {pronounced "gulf"} in Europe, which is a wind, too.

They Call The Wind Mariah, don't cha know?

"I can do that song!", btw; So too was the VW Jetta named after a wind. (Although most of them overseas are called a 'Vento' for some reason...)

Plus there was a Corrodo, which turns out to be a slang-ish expression from Spain.

They used to steal chrome hubcaps for that, but nowadays hubcaps are all plastic.

I once owned a VW bus that was muy corrodod and should have been named after a broken wind . . . .

They don't make enough money to cover your debt to the Pun Jar.

Well done, sir.

(I should bill you for the setup on that one, but I hadn't intended it, and so you get it for free. )

That hurt.

That’s worse than my Chekhov’s Gin pun. Bloody hell, that was absolutely heinous.

(and the VW Bus thing too...) Pun Jar is whistling, impatiently...

Well, he certainly made a major contribution to Italian cuisine...
