But Nuke is fine.<br /><br />(I say zap more than nuke. Nuke to me has other, more negative connotations.)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15720293202890878993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-5518008026167101012010-04-21T15:06:13.504-07:002010-04-21T15:06:13.504-07:00Zapper has a completely different connotation than...Zapper has a completely different connotation than Microwave - sounds to me more like a pitcher with a stinging fastball. With all respect to your old dog, I think if FY says McD is Microwave, we should go with that. <br /><br />(I always say "nuke it" for microwaving something. Do you say zap?)laura khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524593142290489958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-52135570561795710042010-04-21T14:34:17.564-07:002010-04-21T14:34:17.564-07:00I like the Microwave as a nickname, but it's a...I like the Microwave as a nickname, but it's a bit long.

When McDonald first came up my wife turned to me with some concern and pointed out that the odds weren't good for someone who didn't actually have a batting average, but an inning later we were all on our feet as soon as he came up! It seemed like the ball hung in the air for an absolutely agonising age before that reassuring thunk off the wall!Garethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08544047015325046422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-57995020361957482882010-04-21T12:58:01.262-07:002010-04-21T12:58:01.262-07:00It was very well known at the time.

People would come to the Stadium with signs - people put tinfoil around boxes to make fake microwaves and wore them on their heads - they would chant Micro-Wave when Sojo batted.laura khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524593142290489958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-67890493723292013352010-04-21T11:08:58.143-07:002010-04-21T11:08:58.143-07:00Really?
