Just ducky, thanks!

Found in an article during research:

"In addition to her oxtail stew, Ms Chan specialises in traditional Chinese dishes like braised duck (lor ah) and roast pork."

Lor ah? Laura? Great: if I ever go to China, I'm braised duck!

Yay! You're something yummy!

"Braised duck" made me think of this passage from Rabbit Fire, the first of the duck-season-rabbit-season Bugs and Daffy trilogy:

Bugs: [pulls out 1000 Ways to Cook A Duck book] Filet of Duck Bordelaise Maitre d'Butter. Yum-yum.
Bugs: Duck Polonaise Under Glass. Mmm-mm.
[Daffy pulls out 1000 Ways to Cook a Rabbit book]
Daffy: Rabbit au Gratin de Gelatin under tooled leather. Oh, drool-drool.
Bugs: Barbecued Duck Meat with Broiled Duck Bill Milanese. Yummy-yum.
Daffy: Chicken Fried Rabbit with Cottontail Sauce braised in carrots. Mm-mmm.

Gods forbid I pass up a chance to quote Chuck Jones :-)

In Britian, I'm slang for "truck." Lorry's not spelled the same as Lori, but it sounds similar enough to get a snicker.

...I think I'd rather be a duck.
