And to continue our education this morning....
Why is meat from a pig called pork and from a cow called beef?

it all goes back to the Norman conquest of Britain in 1066. When the French took over England, there became two ways of saying a whole lot of words, and from a gastronomic standpoint the French won out (as they usually do). This is likely because the lower-class Anglo-Saxons were the hunters (so we get the animal names from them), and the upper-class French only saw these animals on the dinner table (so we get the culinary terms from them).

So the Anglo-Saxon pig became the French porc, which was Anglicized to pork; the Anglo-Saxon cow became the French boeuf, which became beef; and sheep became mouton, (later mutton).

You're a veritable fountain of knowledge today.

Of course you mean fount.....

Or font.

What font?

Sad to hear Ara Parseghian has passed away.  Last ND coach I liked.

Agreed. The Era of Ara. RIP.

You are probably familiar with the theory that ND coaches have to leave the school vs eclipse Rockne's 105 wins record. Parseghian had 95, Lou Holtz 100.  Both "retired".  Of course Lou went back to coaching at South Carolina, and no coach has come close since.

And no coach does much for the W-L record at South Carolina!

A little hard to believe he's still there. I guess the bar has been set so low he still clears it.

I haven't worked all that out yet. Definitely leather seats because I plan to smoke in it. I really loved driving my mini cooper when I had one of those. The wife already put the kibosh on the standard transmission.

I like gay (see avitar). Although I probably could use a pickup truck for home remodel.

Unfortunately that particular P/U will set you back about $100K.  Fits squarely into the more money than sense category.
