The Goops they lick their fingers.
The Goops they lick their knives.
They spill their broth on the tablecloth,
And, oh! They lead disgusting lives.

[Can't remember this line]
[or this one . . .]
And loud and fast they chew.
And that is why I'm glad that I
Am not a Goop; are you?

I may be a Goop in the privacy of my own home
when eating alone. ;-)

What if the hokey pokey really *is* what it's all about?

Never heard of the Goops, until now. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goops

eating breakfast. <schlurrrrrp!>
