The Rules

Oh. "Ham-mas" sounds like "Hamas." I was trying to figure out why Jews wanted Christmas food to be kosher.

I would love to know exactly how much time and money went into coming up with the word "Ham-mas" itself.

I bet it was the same person who came up with the name of the workplace on Archer.

Pissed off some ancient Greek God and is now cursed to come up with amazing names and slogans that will become touch of death within months. Doomed to roam the earth from marketing group to marketing group. When he dies his tombstone will read "here lies the man who named it The Dangerous Life of Altarboys"
