Renaming the world
Corndog is the protector of the lair, occasional pillow and all around cutest stuffy ever. I mean it, EVER.
People love naming things after quirky shit, but I love when people call things after food. Gweneth Paltrow named her kid Apple. I named my stuffed manatee Corndog.
More things should be called after food. Terms of endearments are my fave. Honey. Sweetie. (ok that is a candy, but I don’t care) Pumpkin. Sugar. Love muffin.
But those are nice words. Shouldn’t there be some food words for the not so nice? Would my friends be pissed if I called them custards? “You fucking custard, you never rang me back!” Or, “Hey, who invited the melon?” Muffin top should be banned, whoever came up with that, I’ll find you… or I’ll get thin again, whatever.
People used to call things the bees knees and the cat’s pajamas? Fucking pajamas people. So who is to say there couldn’t be some foodie terms? “That new sofa of yours is just so squash!” Or, “Listen to this song, I think it is the risotto.”
Maybe I’m rambling or maybe I have pepper mouth. (giggle) Or maybe I am onto something. Trends have to start somewhere, why not this hot potato?
P.S. I thought if I got a dog I would name him Tom Jones. I am seriously thinking of putting Lasagne in the running.
I would love to hear some foodie puns of your own. Submit what you think is just so gooseberry you want to share it with the world… or at least the people who read this craziness.

This made me laugh! I love it. It’s the strawberries.

i cant even convey how much i love this idea
if i ever choose to have kids, they will most certainly be named after something edible
but i also love the random usage. and let me tell you, you did a great job of inserting just the right food in each sentence.
bravo!

I would love to hear of twins named Pimento and Cheese. God, that sounds horrible.

Reminds me of a joke my dad used to tell…3 couples were enjoying breakfast together when one husband turns to his wife and says “pass the honey, Honey”. Seizing the opportunity, the second husband looks to his wife and asks her to “pass the sugar, Sugar”. Not to be left out, the third husband so sweetly asks his wife to “pass the bacon, Porky”
