Quote:Just as sudden tangent, I think I may have found out last night where Rob Haynie got his nickname. Peg and I went out to dinner at this great little Japanese place that's hidden away in hall of shops outside the entrance of an Asian grocery store on Route 18 in East Brunswick. (East Hana. Highly recommended. Get the negimaki dinner.) Anyway, afterwards we ducked in to get Peggy some mochi (she's addicted to it). While looking through the fridged case for the mochi she likes, I came across squeeze bottles of mayonnaise. Now, one is a brand I've seen before -- "Kewpie", which apparently licenses the name because there's a picture of an honest-to-god Kewpie doll on it. But the other is a brand I've never seen before: "Kenko". My eye brushes over it -- it's not mochi, I don't care -- then the linguistic processing catches up and says, hey, look at that again. Yup. "Kenko". And now I'm thinking, what kind of guy nicknames himself after mayonnaise?
unless someother good ficwriter e.g. Kenko puts out something.
(I haven't gone and looked it up -- it probably means something perfectly fine for either brand name. But still...)
