That's the kind of thing that's MUCH safer to do outside! The last time I tossed a squeaky toy for a friendly pooch, it happened to be a Great Pyreenes - and this pooch was an example of what made them Great...

I belive, and you probably should not quote me, that this is homage to The Hitcher's Guide to the Galaxy. The guide states that there is a particularly intriguing phenomenon that has led to a drink called
I don't believe the two are related, except by coincidence. Also, in the case of "Gin and tonic", all the drinks had their names pronounced the same, but were actually different drinks. In the case of the swedish meatballs, the food is the same, but the name changes.
