And what about The Great One's 2lb wedge of Fatchamattaroni cheese
(obviously then a term of endearment but now the spineless population
considers it a dago slur). And it would take years to decipher The Bunkers.
And what would the sexism police make of the name Clarabelle... probably the

AZ, where that Phineass T. Bluster look-alike plies his DillyDalliance
sickness!
