Wouldn't that be "Feliz Navidad"??

Jackie,

For a less scatological insight into the use of the word "Foo" you 
could go
to the old "Smokey Stover" comic strip, the hero of which was a 
whimsical
firefighter. The strip was loaded with puns and the word "Foo" appeared
frequently - particularly on the license plate of the single-axel 
chief's
car. Another phrase that appeared with regularity was "Notary Sojac" 
--Try
translating THAT into Spanish.

I was asked to translate the title "Flight of the Foo Birds" into 
Spanish,
at a big band gig,and the best I could do was explain "foo" as a 
nonsense
word.  The band wasn't digging it- they obviously though I wasn't hip 
enough
to really know what it meant.  They could be right.   Any one have a 
more
exciting story behind this title?  (real stories much apprieciated, but 
if
you want to make one up, well, it might be more exciting!)
