I just read that as swangoose starship cakeisgrand. A name for yet another alternative band to come out of EngrishFunny? (After Purity of Dead Flies broke up, maybe.) Or possibly a new Star Trek series: These are the voyages of the Starship Cakeisgrand, her mission: to explore strange new grammar, to seek out new spellings, to boldly conjugate verbs no native speaker has conjugated before…
WorrierPrincess, after a quarter-century of middle-name deprivation, I gave myself the middle name Xena (prompted by a computer-generated X in my school email). But I think your user name is totally awesome!
It was just this type of tragedy that sent Marie Antoinette to the guillotine. For in responding to a relatively innocuous question from her chef about whether she wanted the gravy even though it was somewhat lumpy from the meat, she replied, “I don’t care. Let the meat cake.”
Starshrimpman, Starshrimpman,
Does whatever a starshrimp can,
Squirts along through the sea,
While he studies astronomy
Look out, here comes the starshrimpman.
Can he swim? Listen bud,
He’s a segmented decapod,
Can he scan infrared?
Points his telescope overhead
Lookout, here comes the starshrimpman.
We are seeing the effects of programming in C style object oriented languages too long. This is the master black box object library for objects: Swan, goose, starshimp, and cake. isgrand is an object class query function. This was written by someone who has spent his life getting a Masters in IT Sciences with a specialty in AI and had to go home when his educational visa was not renewed. It takes hours for him to read a web page because he is compelled to read the page source and send corrections for the server programs to the webmaster. People wear foil hats while on the computer so they don’t catch whatever the computers have done to him.
Okay, now I have the tune of “The Camptown Ladies” running through my head:
Swan goose star shrimp cake is grand, doo dah, doo dah,
Let’s go start another band, oh, de doo dah day…
This isn’t the first time this has happened on this site; any time a seven syllable phrase or sentence pops up with the appropriate scansion, the words “doo dah, doo dah” tack themselves onto the end of it in my brain. It’s embarrassing, is what it is. *insert blushing face icon here*
Dr. Handle’s blushing now, doo dah, doo dah,
Her left behind is flushing too, oh doo dah day!
Gwine to blush all night,
Gwine to flush all day.
Bet next time she posts her icon’s red,
Oh de doo dah day!
Or, to model it after the lake in Webster, Massachusetts, it should be translated:
“You eat on your side of the restaurant, I’ll eat on my side of the restaurant, and nobody eats at the salad bar.”

And here I was wondering what Swangooses Tarshrimp tasted like!

As is your avatar!
My avatar flatly denies any role in sending Marie Antoinette to the guillotine.
I was actually responding to moe, though I do find the idea of time-travelling regicidal (reginicidal?) avatars interesting…
Reginacide, I believe.
Or regalicide to be more generic.
Particularly disturbing to Canadians!
If you’re reginacidal, perhaps your sister Sarah is a character on CSI.
Well, there is Cobra Starship, so why not?
Did you read your OWN comment: Swangoosestarshimpcakeisgrand ???
Starshimp?? Just like a famous ape?
Starshimp was a famous ape? What was he famous for? Oh, yeah, I guess you’re referring to the one who sometimes joined the Three Stooges in films.

I applaud you!

Dr Handle, I thought only I could come up with jokes that bad.

Isn’t that a village somewhere in Wales?

I’m sure you can find shrimp in whales, but I’m not too sure about swans or geese.
Is that a George Carlin reference in the Subject (his skit about leftovers, specifically)?
Could be meat, could be cake .. it’s MEATCAKE! The people who do the titles here seem pretty savvy .. I’d guess that’s what they’re thinking of.
THE CAKE IS A LIE!!!
THE CAKE IS A LIE!!!
THE CAKE IS A LIE!!!
THE CAKE IS A LIE!!!
Cake is indeed grand! But why would you want to swan a goose?
Because the goose deserves it?
