pompom

American Football

(Quite what the use of Pom-poms is in American Football, I have no idea. However, they seem to feature in every event that includes American Football I've seen on the TV.)

[Roland]

Boring

[fccs]

dull…

[Roland]

Blade

[fccs]

Runner

(Richard, I can’t figure out why pro football needs cheerleaders - scantily clad young women for a primarily male audience. Oh wait, never mind.)

[richardandtracy]

Marathon

(Debby, the UK more violent [possibly - https://www.therugbypaper.co.uk/rugby-p ... dangerous/], un-armoured, version of 'American Football' is 'Rugby', and both pom-poms and cheerleaders are noticeable by their total absence. TBH I can never remember seeing any even in the un-reformed 1970's. I do find it strange that they feature in the US, a country which tends to lead the UK by some margin in social change.)

Richard

[Serinde]

Thermopylae

If you don't have cheerleaders, who is the high school quarterback going to marry?

[richardandtracy]

Salamis

(where the Greeks won against Xerxes 1 of Persia after the defeat of Thermopylae)

(Serinde asked

If you don't have cheerleaders, who is the high school quarterback going to marry?

Going to be a bit catty here for a laugh: Their reflection in the mirror.)

[fccs]

ouzo (The drink of the Greek gods? Or at least the drink of my college roommate. lol)

[Mabel Figworthy]

[richardandtracy]

Mandolin

(For some reason I always associate them with Greece, even though it'd not an exclusively Greek instrument.)

Regards,

Richard

slicing

[fccs]

fingers

(Friends have told me of the finger slicing danger of mandolins. I've never used one.)

[Steam.Jo]

Matfer

(Most Mandolines come with a vegetable/item pusher: My Matfer 44595 didn't it was a separate purchase as were the various blade sets. It is a joy to use if treated with the respect it deserves)
