Being an American, you unknowingly came up with a marvelous pun: Sheldon had first spotted Dick in the 1959 Broadway revue The Girls Against the Boys…" Spotted Dick is a traditional British steamed pudding, historically made with suet and dried fruit (usually currants or raisins) and often served with custard.
Best wishes and hope that your foot heals soon.
Actually, it was my buddy Vince Waldron who wrote that sentence but I should have noticed it. I sampled the real, non-canned and non-microwaveable kind of Spotted Dick at a party once and wasn't inclined to eat more than that sample. I got the feeling it was more fun to mention in a double-entendre context than it was to eat.
My foot continues to heal, thank you…a little behind the surgeon's predictions but things are still going in the right direction. My problems now are mostly matters of balance when I walk and quick fatigue in my left leg when I'm walking or standing. Another few months of physical therapy and I should be able to do all the steps in the curtain call for Boop! That is, as long as I'm on strings like the dog marionette.
