Taxi-driving baritone has just the sound U2 missing in "One." ("I know Bono will overhear me one day, singing my amazing harmony," said Patrick Walsh, 45, alone in his cab.)

I can't wait to see a response to your post that uses the word "excoriate" in quotes?
No, I can't.
My memories of Pop-Tarts are all quite similar. Actually, I believe that's why I ate them...for the utter sameness of expression. I have not had a Pop-Tart in some time. Must seek them out (wonder if Pop-Tarts here in Europe differ from Pop-Tarts stateside). Has there been a world congress of Pop-Tart lovers? Considering the linguistic connotations, are Pop-Tarts called something else in England?
mr. nicholas, I did research on your questions, but that just involved looking at precisely one website.
my favorite quotes from it are:
"negligently manufactured flammable Pop-Tarts"
and
"keen scientific interest in combustible breakfast foods"
And maybe it is just a measure of my mind, but shouldn't some marketing genius have scrapped the name of this Hostess cake? I mean there are some probable subject/verb combos using this name that just don't sound right. I mean they sound downright wrong.

Yup. I guess it is just me.
Pop tart ... heh heh.
Made me laugh.
