1. Bing Crosby played lots of golf on greens

2. Carrots are topped by greens

1. Santa Claus is a fat guy who wears red and white

2. Kobe beef is red and streaked with white fat

1. Marilyn Manson is a pasty, feminized persona who has been made into a doll, a grossly untalented man who shares his professional identity to some degree with Limp Bizkit and Cream. According to Relient K, he ate my girlfriend and Satan consumed her mind.

2. Strawberry Shortcake, as invented by a greeting card company, is a strawberry-scented doll whose name evokes a seasonal dessert that is best served with biscuits and whipped cream. Girlfriends share their Strawberry Shortcake dolls and accessories, and thus, are consumed by the evil inanity that is produced by untalented capitalists intent on making us buy things we don't need.

1. John Cleese provides the voice for the sheep in a movie version of Charlotte's Web.

2. Tripe is made from a sheep's stomach.
