Flying fish and cou-cou/pudding and souse:

I have a print source that pudding and souse is on the menu at KFC in Barbados, but I can't find an online source.

Specific Day of the week? howtheduck March 12 2008, 03:27:02 UTC

OK. I'll bite. What days of the week is it sold?

Re: Specific Day of the week? the_berserker March 12 2008, 16:38:34 UTC

Saturday is the day that Bajans traditionally eat pudding and souse. Duncan may not have been telling the truth when he said that KFC sells it only on Saturdays. ;)

What man is that?

A soothsayer bids you beware the ides of March.

I like your "foob" adaptation and Jeremy's insult to Howard. :)

I went looking for Bajan historical sites and/or protected parks for Arne to attempt to destroy, and found this one. The name alone made me want to use it. It's a ruined plantation "big house", with lots of unique trees and plants around it.

Perfect name. :)

Lumturie Rexha howtheduck March 18 2008, 14:16:05 UTC

Union of Albanian Women was headed in 1990 by Lumturie Rexha, a member of the Central Committee of the Party of Labour of Albania.

Is that a sly reference to me living in Albany? (We call ourselves "Albanians"--albeit with the first syllable pronounced "all" rather than "Al"). ;)

Re: Lumturie Rexha howtheduck March 18 2008, 15:11:55 UTC

No, although that is an interesting coincidence. I have tried making it a running joke of how many different countries Gerald's new girlfriends are from, so that Mike can reference it in his advice to April to be like Liz, and Gerald can present a new girlfriend every day to Jeremy.
