Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Re pizza: Do Aussies put whole-kernel sweetcorn on pizza, or is that strictly a UK thing?
It's not a common thing; indeed I don't recall ever having seen it.
PS: re names, I did once know of one guy (Vietnamese) whose mother's name was Dang My Dung.

Humongo? Horse? Hung?
Hugo would have been close enough. Unless he really was well hung and could answer the question: Hugo Weiner? with "Ya damn betcha".
In Houston by the way there was (and for all I know still is) a motorcycle bar owned by a fellow name Richard Head. It is called "Dickhead's" and is the site of an occasional murder.

You did Academic Decathlon too, Hil? Sister!
I had corn on pizza in the Dominican Republic--at a Pizza Hut. It was quite random (no, it was not my choice of restaurants or toppings)
I knew a guy named Peter Wacker. Sweetheart, but very scarred by the name.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Is now the time to tell the "Penis Van Lesbian" joke? (Upshot: he changed his name and is now successfully Dick Van Dyke.)
I like beets and I like fried eggs in moderation and I really like hamburgers and I can't imagine why one would put all three into the same sandwich. Is hamburger not exciting enough? Are you disrespecting my cheese, condiments, lettuce, tomato, mushrooms and possible bacon, which are already available as hamburger accessories?
Also. Boiled beets are just fine, although they turn your insides fuchsia, but pickled beets are gross.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
You did Academic Decathlon too, Hil? Sister!
Yep! The team started my junior year, so I did it then and senior year. Never got even to states, though, because there were only, like, three people on our team who actually bothered to study.

Me too. I think there's a bunch of us around here.
Ac Dec was great because the way they divided the divisions by grade point really let us underachievers shine.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I was debate girl. I know it's not the same, but does it count?

Oh, Holli, I meant to say earlier. I didn't get into Haverford either. But I did get into Smith and some other good ones.
