I didn't coin it, but I quote a guide on the Mallard, an amphibious craft that used to give land/water tours, as calling it "Snoopy in a blender." Thanks for asking.

Granted, I don't travel in the right circles, but YOU'RE the only one I've ever noticed calling the sculpture "Snoopy in a Blender." I thought you'd coined that. So, I'm just wondering if you did, in which case, it should be trademarked, ;) or if you and all your media-elite buddies have long called it that and the origin is unknown...
