Where's the NRA...
...or Tripp Isenhour when you need them ?
Could this phobia keep Momoko out of the top 10 ?
Is she afraid of being attacked (a la Hitchcock’s “The Birds”) or is she afraid of being “dropped on” (a la Mel Brooks spoof of “The Birds” in “High Anxiety”) ?
Would the LPGA allow her to have one of those trained border collies walking the course with her and her caddy to chase off the ducks and geese ?
"this ball will fit in that fairway"
I've got it!
One word for bird in Japanese is Tori, so of course seeing birds reminds Momo-chan of the traumatizing effect of watching 90210 as an impressionable adolescent when the reruns made their way to Japan.
I concede the win to CG.

I don't know..
...Tori Spelling CAN be pretty scary !!
Momo-CHAN ? Is that the female version of a -San after a masculine name ?
"this ball will fit in that fairway"
you got it
it roughly translates to Peach Girl (Peach Boy is a culture hero from way back)....

Peach Boy ???
Wait, the -san/-chan is what translates to Peach Boy/Girl ? Or the Momoko part ?
Hmmm – Bobby Jones ? Or THE Georgia Peach – Ty Cobb ?
"this ball will fit in that fairway"
-san/-chan clarification
-san is for guys and could be used gender-neutrally to show respect
-chan is for girls and babies of both genders, and used to emphasize affection and kawaiitude….

got that part...
...the gender part I understood – it was the Peach Boy/Girl part I didn’t understand.
Were you saying that san/chan translate to peach boy/girl ? Or Momoko means peach ?
kawaiitude ??? I looked that up on Google and couldn’t find a definition.
"this ball will fit in that fairway"
you gotta read Mostly Harmless more regularly!
momo=peach (-ko is a diminutive, usually for girls and babies, so her name itself kind of means Peach Girl already)
kawaii (cute) + (att)itude=cuteness (my own coining)
