Probably should have put that in humor, since it has no caption it isn't really a meme. Oh well. I bet it merges.

Saying the fighter plane had a 27 ft belt of ammo is like saying a rifle has a 30 round magazine. An M16 has a 30 round magazine. An m14 has a 20 round. M1, 8 round. M1 carbine, 15. K98 a 5. Different rifles have different magazine capacities. It doesn't make sense the different fighter planes would all have the same belt length. A Wildcat might have a 27-ft belt, while a Corsair have the 28 ft and a Spitfire have a 32 ft. I have no idea of the length of any of those three planes I mentioned, but was trying to make the point that just because it's a fighter plane doesn't mean it's got a 27 foot belt of ammo. That's one of them great stories like for unlicensed carnal knowledge and store high in transit and port out starboard home. It's just a story.

The word—sometimes alternatively spelled and pronounced as lollapalootza, lalapaloosa, or lallapaloosa (P. G. Wodehouse, The Heart of a Goof)—dates from a late 19th-century/early 20th-century American idiomatic phrase meaning "an extraordinary or unusual thing, person, or event; an exceptional example or instance". Its earliest known use was in 1896. In time, the term also came to refer to a large lollipop.

I remember discussion here in the Saloon (ACS) some years back about the difference between fancy dress and formal dress. Someone had found an invitation from like a hundred years ago and they were having a fancy dress party. And about half the saloonatics thought that meant evening gowns and white tie - dressed real fancy. Fancy dress means in costume. It was a masquerade ball. I could have gotten away with showing up in white tie and tails, because there's no way I would wear that normally so I must be in costume.

What is it? I see that it says 1 pound up in the corner. I thought it might be script, that the miners were paid with it was only good at The company store. But if it was issued to John, and it's good for a year, and it's non-transferable - that don't sound like money. John bought a license for one quid that gave him permission to prospect?

Speaking of red - thought of this when I saw that Do people in Pennsylvania still red off the table?

How about If brains was Dynamite he couldn't blow his nose

Did anybody say that besides Vinnie Barbarino?

I was in Sam's a few months ago and there was a man there with what I assume where his two sons. The bigger one looked to be about 13. And he was not looking where he was going and he bumped into me pretty hard. And then he shocked me absolutely and completely. He said, "Excuse me, sir".

Old as the hills on Grandma's chest

That's exactly what I started to say. But then I rewatched the cartoon. It appeared that Marvin was using that as the igniter for whatever huge gun the planet buster was. And Bugs stole it so Marvin could not fire his cannon. https://i.pinimg.com/736x/aa/26/fe/aa26feceac9243b45852a4b1e16534a2--merrie-melodies-looney-tunes.jpg

On Hannah Montana I heard her tell somebody one time, "Don't let the door hit you where the good Lord split you". Funny, but the way I always heard it was don't let the door hit you on your way out.

I recall reading of Spanish miners in the Americas who washed up "green gold" in their sluices, and threw it back into the river to finish ripening. It was Platinum.
