Lindsay's Flingo on Shmoopy
As we all know, Shmoopy may soon be joining our blog. I'd like to reiterate the importance of Shmoopy passing all tests to become part of Flingo, not only to maintain our high standards of excellence...but for his own safety. When Shmoopy has to go out on a jungle safari to Flingo on poison-dart frogs, I want to make sure he knows which Apostle denied Christ 3 times before the cock crowed...(and which one only did it twice before the cow crowed.) It's for his safety, you see.
Anyhow, that's enough of that. What I'd really like to talk about is the etymology of Shmoopy.
Now, clearly, Shmoopy is a bastardized form of the Hebrew Schmoopenheim, which means "large ankles."
Orville Redenbacher, of the famous popcorn of Valparaiso, IN, used the pet name "Shmoopy" for his wife, Greta Schmoopenheim Redenbacher. He called her this mostly because Greta is an ugly name that means "woman with mustache," and he didn't think it boded well.
Greta loved cream sauces, apples, and she was totally delish on the eyes. Yes, she wore a housecoat. They were very happy together, and Shmoopy lived a long, thick-ankled life, free of facial hair.
