Don't forget the Pekin Chinks (Pekin, Ill.)  Actually, there was
a big flap about that team name a year or so ago when some
namby-pamby, limp-wristed, bleeding-heart liberals suggested that
the name was racist or something.  Got national press.  They're
still the Pekin Chinks.  "Don't say 'Chinks'.  'Chinks' is bigotted."
What the hell spy-spoof movie did that line come from?
