Butchered Sayings

Strombergs.

SU carbs sucked on my '59 MGA and they sucked on my '61 MGA and they sucked on every car they were ever on, including both '68 Datsun 1600 Fairlady roadsters that I won tons of races in.

The three worst things to ever come of of Great Britain are SU carbs, Lucas electrics, and warm beer.

Now, how's THAT for a rant?

They are supposed to suck!  That's what carbs do for a living (suck air and gas)

Gave Up Bonnevilles and the Tiger in the 80's.  They ran good when they started but they didn't always start

Is it flamable   or   inflamable

Is it flamable   or   inflamable

Interchangable, but each has two "m" s.  From my Webster's II:  ..."There is another prefix in-- , which English also borrowed from Latin, that means "not", and the word inflammable can be misunderstood as meaning "not capable of burning."  In order to eliminate possibly dangerous confusion about the combustibility of various materials, safety officials in the 20th century have adopted the word flammable, which had a brief life in the 19th century, to mean "able to burn".  Materials that do not burn are unambiguously labled nonflammable. 

Now, Litl Rooster, you wasn't tryin to inflame the readers of this here thread, was you?

[Forty Rod]

Flammable, inflammable, nonflammable!

This flim-flam topic only inflames those whe seek to flame someone.

Think I'll go find a recipe for a flambe.

I don't really care, as long as it flams. 

[Delmonico]

So why when you hurt, do you take a pain pill and not an anti-pain pill?  If your stomach has too much acid you take an antacid.

I remember back in the late '40s early '50s (19 prefex) a wrestler on black and white TV (unless you had those three bands of blue, red, and green across the screen) named "Gorgeous George". I vaguely remember him saying something like that.  That wasn't/isn't you, was/is it?

[Forty Rod]

Gorgeous George...curly blonde locks, fur robe, feather boa, black and white TV?

Never heard of him.

In 1950 I was 8 years old.
