    Smeters? I need an explanation on that one. I tried to look it up. Even the Duck didn't know!

      Maybe the type is too small on the first meme but it's the Metric version of our Smile, therefore: Smeter . . . get it?
      They don't smile they smeter.

        Me just a dino did what VetteGuy did before I clicked into comments.
        A metric version of smile?
        No. I still don't get it.
        Smeters is just a misspelling of meters according to my spellchecker.
        What the hell does a smetering face looks like?
        A smelting grin, perhaps, with melting teeth sticking out?
        Would 9mm be stamped on each melting tooth?

        I'm old enough to remember back in 1968: "We will be all metric by 1976"
        They tried changing all the speed limit signs, our speedometers, our rulers... somehow it just didn't take.

          No wonder, we've used the "Foot" for 200K years, as best we can figure, it's divided by 12 which a major harmonic in nature (not sure I said that correctly), Case in point, The major 12K year cycle, the present cycle is about to end soon and we should be getting ready so as many as possible can survive.
          But the other point to be made is our SAE system fits Earth and Humanity perfectly. Metric does not.
          The only thing that needed improving is Cups/Spoons/oz's/squirts, Etc, We could have made that a little easier.

            Gross = 144 (12X12 or 12 squared)
            Counting on your fingers (dactylonomy) On one hand, use your thumb to touch each segment of the other fingers.
            When you get to the last segment of your pinky, you're at 12, use the other hand to touch the first segment of that hand. That marks your first 12.
            Each additional 12, advances the second hand segment count.
            When you get to the the last segment of the second hand pinky, you're at 144. One gross. That's where it came from.
            Before the abacus, people counted gross quantities using their fingers.

        Way back when I was a kid, my dad would walk in the living room and turn off the TV and say to me and my brothers, "Get outside and find something to do or I'll find something for you." It was fearsome at the time, but he was definitely right! We had far more adventures outside than ever in front of the "idiot box" as he called it.

          Wow. Your dad gave you an option?
          My dad just pointed to the wood pile.
          "That wood ain't going to just chop itself"

            LOL, there were "no option" days, for sure. Like when he'd point to the lawn mower (the reel push kind) and say something like, "You need exercise so get out and get on the business end of that and push it around the yard!". You NEVER said no.

    Re meme 1 bottom~~A patriot for being feisty as hell with taking on libs and RINOs,Marjorie Taylor Greene may also by her looks have the DNA of those who had such an awesome childhood.
    Me dino long ago read that an unusually high number Neanderthal fossils show bone fractures causing scientists to speculate those cavemen were more prone to take on big wildlife such as
    woolly mammoths head-on than would our sneakier species when we were not mating with them.

    Love this set, OUC! Gotta find that American grocery store! Starsky... uh huh. I want to hop aboard with Peabody and Sherman. The list is very nice as is the Tesla tent, LOL! I did grow up with #15, but don't feel anywhere near #16.

    Great group OUC!
    Especially enjoyed Starsky, the Tesla Tent, and How to Get There. Even if it does mean I'm approaching my 'best by' date!

    Aisle 11...

    Only 1 question:

    WTF are in the first 10 aisles?

    At this point, they could only exist so the anticipation of Aisle 11 BUILDS up and you don't just stroke out because you walked straight into that aisle...

    Prove me wrong!

    Excellent Stuff OUC!

      Laughing, "What's in the first 10 aisles?", (Raising and turning my pointed ears for a moment) answer: Everything NOT in aisle 11 - minus those things in the remaining aisles . . .

      You asked . . . LMAO

        Okay... You got me.
        What could I possibly want that isn't in Aisle 11?
        That's was what I was getting at!
        LOL...

        I promise you, I go that store with my wife... I am in Aisle 11... Until she sees my picture on the side of a Milk Carton in Aisle 1... LOL

    Loved the looking at vegans. So many people who I know are gluten free and/or vegans. It’s hard to cook for them. So guess what. I don’t anymore. Their loss.

    Lol and then some! #15 raises a question. Do deer count? #16 hits the spot. I turn 75 tomorrow :). Actually, they ALL hit the spot and brought back a flood of memories from my great growing up years. My brother as Mr. Spock one Halloween, acres and acres of woods to wander as we pleased, Mr. Peabody's Way-Back machine, bicycles as valued transportation, that grocery store in my home town, the list goes on. Thanks for the big smeters ouc!
