I've found some IHOPs located in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and the UAE now so I guess the clue is not accurate. I thought they were only in the United States.

I thought about that, then decided that the word shows up so many times that it's unlikely someone would not figure out that I was only accepting the "zed" spelling, and decided to leave it. Maybe that's a bad reason. I may change my mind at some point.

I love the headlines you see in Filipino newspapers. "Security Forces Slam MILF." "MILF On Its Knees Before Army." "Air Force Scour Countryside In Search of MILF." and so on.

I thought I was going to die laughing when I saw IHOP. And then I was crying because I was laughing so hard.

Of course the first thing I starting typing in with NAMBLA was "National association of Marlon Brando LookAlikes". If only it stood for that.... just typing the full title makes my skin crawl.
