A question for our British members - My wife and I watched a movie that took place in Yorkshire. In one scene, two teenagers were arrested for smoking a joint but were released when the joint turned out to contain oregano instead of pot. The question - everybody in the movie pronounced "oregano" as "or-eh-GAH-no". Is that standard UK pronunciation or just Yorkshire? I know they have a distinct dialect. Over here we would say "uh-REG-uh-no". The internet tells me that in Italian it's "oh-REEG-ah-no", so apparently we're both wrong. Calendar Girls? That was it, yes.

I'm surprised you didn't know that, Rob Allen. Don't you live in Or-e-GON? No, I live in ORygun.

It will always come down to taste. I can’t use anything but Helmans mayonnaise. My wife agrees with you about mayonnaise. It's called Best Foods instead of Hellmann's here, but it's the same stuff. I grew up with Miracle Whip, but she considers that to be inedible glop that only goyim eat. Every Jew she's ever known uses only Hellmann's/Best Foods.

I just happened to notice that D. Bruce Berry--pretty much known only as Jack Kirby's inker/letter following Mike Royer in the mid 1970's--preceded Kirby's return to Captain America by one issue, inking Frank Robbins' final issue, #191. This and an ink job over Herb Trimpe on a Killraven story the same month appear to be his only mainstream comics credits outside of his work for Kirby. I wonder if it was some kind of on-boarding exercise to prepare him for working in the Marvel corporate system. (He would proceed to work on some of Kirby's Captain America stories, although Frank Giacoia would become the book's most consistent Kirby inker.) I just found this. Berry was Royer's assistant before taking on the full job when Royer moved to something else for a while. Berry lived in California and Marvel wanted inkers local to NY. He had a long career outside of comics before and after his Kirby period. www.tcj.com/the-strange-case-of-d-bruce-berry/
