An old tale, an innocent time.
Bill Wilson, who has hipped me to such marvelous pastimes as Tweekend and Counter-Strike, once had this to say. For brevity, Bill Wilson is BW.
<< EXT. MOVIE THEATRE : NIGHT>>
BW, SB and MHG are meandering toward their cars in the busy parking lot.
BW: Should we get something to eat?
SB: Yup.
MHG: Sure.
BW: What’s around here, anyway, besides Crapplebee’s?
MHG: (chuckles)
SB: Not a fan of Applebee’s, are we?
BW: No, I am, actually. Crapplebee’s just fits so well. It just works, yknow? It doesn’t work to say “Bad-asslebee’s” or “Totally-sweetlebee’s.”
Characters ad-lib in Seinfeld-esque discussion of possibility of opening Applebee’s chain featuring only items they like, and changing the name to “Totally-sweetlebee’s.”

Speaking of food in the States, I must warn you of something. When I get back on the 10th, there’s going to be a temporary shortage of all manner of foodstuffs as I proceed to become the poster child for gluttony.

You mean the food in Britain isn’t very good? I’ve never heard of such a thing.
