Hi Ian,

Are you referring to the minstrel baiting term? It's bad enough to
tolerate this anonymous carnival of religious cliches with their
dialog of obscene pandering.

Hmmm, playing, "I am taking the high road game, huh?

Ok. Well, here is my favorite version:

Fee-fi-fo-fum
I smell the blood of an Englishman.
Be he alive or be he dead
I'll grind his bones to make my bread. -- "Jack the Giant Killer."

Now, one sure to be your fav:

"Child Roland to the dark tower came,
His word was still, Fie, foh, and fum,
I smell the blood of a British man." -- Shakespeare, "King Lear."

And, for those finding neither to their liking:

"O, tis a precious apothegmatical Pedant, who will find matter enough to
dilate a whole day of the first invention of Fy, fa, fum, I smell the
blood of an English-man". -- Thomas Nashe, "Have with you to
Saffron-walden."

Ahhh, remember the good-ole-days when you could write this
gooble-de-gook for yourself? A burden which has now befell my
shoulders--I only thank God they are broad (my shoulders of course, not
the women!) :-(

However, Shakespeare does seem to befit some as more appropiate
"trolling lines" than myself ...
