Since all the terms have been properly defined by Chris Turner I can now give you my Daffy-nitions of them 1. Loaf- What people used to do in VW vans before the Vanagon era. Now the only "loaf" we have is one made out of a big chunk of our "dough". 2. Carat- Pronounced "Carrot" or "Ka-rot" A fancy German word that most people pretend to know what it means but actually don't. 3. Transporter- A device that disassembles your molecules "beams" them some place else, and then reassembles them. Don't you guys watch TV? (Darnnit Jim, I'm a Vanagon Mechanic not an entomologist!) 4. Wolfsberg- The mythical place where tireless German elves work to make toys for grown up boys and girls around the world. (Or a canine infested iceberg) 5. GL- Stands for Good Luck, 'cause your gonna need it. Have a fun Monday. Ken Wilford John 3:16 |
