11. Count me among those who have not been bothered...

...by the names of Trader Joe’s products. I have regarded them as clever. I am not a minority in any way, so could certainly lack sensitivity in this regard.

I always enjoy reading the Fearless Flyer. The people who write it are obviously educated and have good senses of humor. One of my favorite product names was chosen by someone who apparently paid attention in chemistry/physics classes - their guacamole is called Avocado’s Number.

12. This is much more cheerful thread than the one I launched about "Trader PC" ...

I'm glad to see the comments.

Edit: Ah, just noticed we're in The Lounge. What a great relaxing place!!!

I have an acquaintance who wished there were a Trader Tran's. (Vietnamese)

13. Yes, no flame wars allowed in the Lounge, it's all silliness

And cute animals!
