Rambi, It is, indeed, a marketing coup—using some nekkid chick to sell: a piece of string! The Cooking Saddle should be quickly followed with a line of Cooking Saddle companions: • No pot roast is complete without carrots and potatos, thus the Cooking Saddlebags—little pieces of string attached to the bigger piece of string, advertised by a naked Clint Eastwood of those Sergio Leone "spaghetti western" days. • Really large loads, like last Thanksgiving's 75lb. smoked ostrich, require a sturdier handle. Not to be outdone by the insignificance of string, we could offer: a stick, marketed as The Cooking Bridle! Now if I could just figure out what to do with this piece of lint. -MrB

Now that your problem is solved, let me address one TO you: My daughters' International Relations teacher, who has a quirky sense of humor, gave them two clues to the bonus questions on the exam. The first one was "Four legs good, two legs bad." We think this refers to animal farm, where the animals were good and the people bad. The second one was "I have a penchant for alpaca. I hope to some day have a couple to befriend my dog." This one has me stumped. Anyone have any thoughts on what this might refer to that has anything to do with political science or international relations? The exam is tomorrow, so speedy answers will be appreciated!
