Very interesting , French Philip's Dip. So there's not only hope but even a chance on glory for a drowning sandwich. On the West Coast of America. With juice sauce.\______________/. Plate Empty

>>"Pizza Pie"<<

Haven't heard "pie" appended to "pizza" around here in years! Do people still use the phrase?

If it's something like a blend of pizza and pumpkin pie it'd better stay up there.

Lost in translation and in understanding, could you tell me seriously then what is an eel joke? Is n't an eel a fish and what has eel to do with a joke?

Drat - hoist with my own petard!

The song is "That's Amore".
If I were to point to an eel of the family Muraenidae, I would say "That's a moray".

Now that is clever.

Sherry, thanks for the vindication! See all? More than one poster seems appalled by empty-headedness. It only makes it worse when an ostensibly smart investigator on television spouts something like "OCD disorder".

This clears things up, the first line is an eel joke if I got my French right and the second a hypothetic declaration of love to a Murena, no? I know that song. Strange metaphor.
The moon hittng your eye like a big pizza pie. Not exactly the avarage poetry.
Wasn't it Frank Sinatra who sang that?
