To may or may not...that is the question...

Check Wikipedia for Newfoundland Town names.
They'd be years there alone trying to change names.


Yeah, then the newfs, after changing all the meat names to something else
:)
would then have to change all the new fish word names to something not eaten by man.

I wonder how they will deal with terms like "Peggy's Cove"

I must say that I really don't cotton to the idea of Wool having to change its name. And I wonder if vegans plan to go after these towns.
  • Alaska: Fox, Chicken
  • Arkansas: Deer
  • California: Antelope
  • Colorado: Dinosaur
  • Florida: Flamingo
  • Georgia: Parrot
  • Kansas: Partridge
  • Louisiana: Trout, Pelican
  • Michigan: White Pigeon, Wolverine
  • Minnesota: Badger
  • Mississippi: Alligator
  • Missouri: Crane
  • Montana: Anaconda, Monarch, Otter
  • Nebraska: Eagle
  • Nevada: Carp
  • New Jersey: White Horse
  • New Mexico: Coyote
  • New York: Buffalo
  • Ohio: Fly
  • Oklahoma: Mustang
  • Pennsylvania: Sturgeon
  • South Dakota: Porcupine
  • Texas: Falcon, Turkey, Marlin
  • Utah: Beaver
  • Washington: Elk, Tiger, Cougar, White Swan, White Salmon
  • West Virginia: Duck, Man
  • Wyoming: Wolf, Moose
And then there are Sturgeon and Beaver County in Alberta, as well as Shrewsbury, Buzzard, Oxford, and so on in Britain.

Maybe they'll soon start asking Nicola Sturgeon to change her name. She's been leader of the SNP and Scotland's First Minister since taking over from... Alex Salmond.

That's nice. Why don't you run and tell Mummy?

I will do later. I always go round to my parents' on a Saturday night in autumn and winter to watch Strictly Come Dancing with them. I can't just walk across the field, though, because it'll be muddy and I don't want to get my good shoes all muddy. So I have to go the long way round, and instead walk along the footpath past Bishop Bridgeman C of E Primary School.

We need a new word for the fanatically partisan type of vegan. Let's call them veganists.

Who do these people think they are trying to tell us what we should and shouldn't be eating? I'll eat what I want.

And there's the couple who gave their child rickets after feeding her a vegan diet.
