Weasel vs. Mongoose

Ooh, I could crush a grape!

I didn't know you had Crackerjack in the US! *wave of noatalgia*

Actually Crystal Palace is near Sydenham, Anerley, Dulwich and Streatham. It occurs to me that Anerley is the only one of these pronounced the way it is spelled ("Sidnam, Dullitch, Strettam").

We do, but I was rather adverting to the song by...er...well, one or another still-extant ex-Beatle. Too lazy to Google which one.

Yes, in fact, my girls at camp were given Crackerjack for snack just yesterday! Really pathetic prizes though. Who wants a piece of paper as a Crackerjack prize? What happened to neat stuff like decoder rings?

Oh no, Crackerjack to me isn't a substance! I don't know what your Crackerjack is but to me the name means a childrens' televsion programme shown on Fridays in the early eighties - and the presenter used to say "ooh, I could crush a grape!"
We have been rather at cross purposes...

Yeah? Yeah? Well, you thought I was a guy!

For us, it's a snack. http://members.at.infoseek.co.jp/bal...rackerjack.JPG
