Oh do fuck off. What animal is a burger or a sausage? If we're gonna be pricks about it 'meat' didn't originally apply to animals, so you'd better start calling it 'flesh' so no one gets confused about the product.

I have not the faintest idea what this private party may have been. Private party doesn't sound very me at all.

I bloody loved Gogs when it came out. That was 30 years ago, so though I was a child I may have been more manly than I am today.

Was able to import the list (with some errors) into Google MyMaps. Possibly the most boring join-the-dots puzzle ever (or it might form a sigil that summons an Elder God, who knows).

I think also marketing a new band with a self-titled album cuts down on the work. Whether you remember the name of th band or the album, you got both!
Weezer didn't bother naming their first or third albums.
Blur's self-titled album was their fifth.

Beans are insane cos the same species can have wildly different variations in colour, shape, and size. They are dogs of the plant world.
