  1. ” . . a pair of knife-wielding thieves”

    Um, aren’t they going to need forks?

    “Omeletting one hostage go!”

    If they’re sentenced to not-too-hard-yet-not-too-runny time, they’ll probably walk the green-on-the-side mile.

  2. A rarebit of Saxon culinary crime…poncey Brits and their wuffly-fluff cuisine. They were most likely using plastic sporks as those, or garden trowels, are as butch as the weaponry can get for the average Brit subject.

  3. Frank mentioned in a recent post that his grandfather was Irish.

    Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?
