Believe it or not, but Gatorade isn't an international thing either. Would that be 'Gator' as in Alligator? Oh! the things you Americans are willing to put in your bodies ;-). No more mails about the Bobby Dylan B&S connection please (half-joking). I was going to ask if that information was on the B&S website but some spawny git beat me to it. Suggested reading: 'The Elephant' - Richard Rayner 'The Sandman' - Miles Gibson 'Vagabond' - A.P. Wolf If you have a prediliction for novels containing dysfunctional families, liars, weirdness, madness and some death give these a glance. Bye for now, The Laird of East Fountainbridge P.S Happy Birthday to Paul HoneyMitchell - you old git! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Gatorade is a sports beverage that is supposed to incresase your athletic performance with carbohydrates and electrolytes and other things. Parents also sometimes give it to their sick children. I don't know why it's called Gatorade, but workmate Kimmy just suggested the following: Gatorade is meant to rehydrate the body, keeping it from getting (internally, presumably) dry like an alligator. Any other theories? All Gatorade tastes suspiciously like food coloring and comes in bright,ghastly colors (one might glow in the dark, but I'm not sure), but, for some reason it has been my beverage of choice all week. (But maybe that's just because I have a meal card which will indubitably have funds left at the end of the semester which will not be transferred or refunded and Gatorade is an expensive beverage. Gotta finish that meal plan.) Any other questions about American food and beverage can be directed to me, Kristen, your international food expert. Thank you for your time. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

I can't believe what a layabout you are, for a student. When we're all speaking cantonese I know who to blame it on. __________________
From the "gatorade" web site:
The year was 1965 when Gatorade was tested on University of Florida Gator football players and found successful; Gators enjoy a winning season and become known as "second-half team" as a result of their ability to go longer and finish stronger. _________________ Take heed, lads. Gatorade is a horrible still conconction with a powdery taste. I have heard that it is a useful hangover cure. I can't comfirm its effectiveness, as the result of my morning-after consumption of it, rather than rejuvenating me, left me barfing in dayglo colors. As a result of this thread I bought a "Tigers Milk Bar" at the Korean deli, "JC's Supreme," which the counterman tells me stands for "Jesus Christ's Supreme," across Seventh Avenue from my place of work. I am eating it now. It is really dreadfully bad, chalky on the outside, and gummy like the innards of a tropical plant on the inside. Perhaps this bar is rotten though. For all of you indulging this silly thread, I will send one of these vile things upon request, so long as you are outside the US. /the pedant ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
