"The place where bush goes for happy hour."

The definition of Mars bars is "The things bush will be incarcerated behind when he is convicted of his crimes."

2. Mars Bars is already singular

and I think it would also be the plural.

Or maybe Mars Barses would be the plural.

Check out the Cecil link - he talks about words that were singular, but through time people took them as plural, and so made new singular forms for them.

Ignore this post. Nothing to see here. The fact the government has deleted this post and put big "Do Not Cross Line" warnings on it does not imply that this was an area of interest. Please go about your regular business. Oh, and we're back at Orange Alert, but not because of anything that might have ben hiding in this post. No sirree.
