One possible scenario: you eat cheese puffs, get your fingers greasy and cheesedusty, and then touch your glasses. Even if you just touch the stems at that point, you'll transfer gunk to them. Eventually it will migrate onto the lenses.AnotherFairportfan wrote: ↑Thu Jan 30, 2020 11:27 pm How do you get cheese puff dust and grease on your glasses?

Be in the same room as someone eating the cursed things. I love 'em to death but I just need to open the lid on the barrel to get covered in Cheetle (the official name for the cheesy dust as put out by the Cheetos company).AnotherFairportfan wrote: ↑Thu Jan 30, 2020 11:27 pm How do you get cheese puff dust and grease on your glasses?
Did you know that stuff was an outgrowth of an Army-sponsored program {Korean War-era, i think} to develop something at least resembling cheese that would keep long-term without refrigeration to go in packaged rations?Opus the Poet wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2020 1:34 amBe in the same room as someone eating the cursed things.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MargarineMargarine is a spread used for flavoring, baking, and cooking that was first made in France in 1869. It was created by Hippolyte Mège-Mouriès in response to a challenge by Emperor Napoleon III to create a butter substitute from beef tallow for the armed forces and lower classes. It was named oleomargarine from Latin for oleum (olive oil) and Greek margarite (pearl indicating luster) but was later named margarine.
That is the reason why some people (mostly in the Midwest) still call it "Oleo".AnotherFairportfan wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2020 2:23 am And then there's this little factoid:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MargarineMargarine is a spread used for flavoring, baking, and cooking that was first made in France in 1869.

And the main compression member (combining spring and shock absorber) in airplane landing gear is known as the oleo strut because it was originally lubricated with oleomargerine.jwhouk wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2020 6:49 amThat is the reason why some people (mostly in the Midwest) still call it "Oleo".AnotherFairportfan wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2020 2:23 amAnd then there's this little factoid:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MargarineMargarine is a spread used for flavoring, baking, and cooking that was first made in France in 1869.

Even if this is filler, it's nice to see that the "transformation" thing is now loaded into the canon.
So you are saying it had a high tolerence margarine?FreeFlier wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2020 9:41 amAnd the main compression member (combining spring and shock absorber) in airplane landing gear is known as the oleo strut because it was originally lubricated with oleomargerine.
It seems that oleomargerine was the only thing that would not either stiffen or melt from the temperature changes in flight.
That is Dave Level Punning. The Pun Vault would like to have a word or twenty with you...shadowinthelight wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2020 2:36 pmSo you are saying it had a high tolerance margarine?FreeFlier wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2020 9:41 amAnd the main compression member (combining spring and shock absorber) in airplane landing gear is known as the oleo strut because it was originally lubricated with oleomargerine.

Grease the Jar's palm, shadowinthelight, and you'll get away unscathed. Palm oil is amazing stuff.jwhouk wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2020 8:53 pmThat is Dave Level Punning.

I suspect that that's a false etymology - sort of like the assertion that "Slav" derives from "slave".FreeFlier wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2020 9:41 am And the main compression member (combining spring and shock absorber) in airplane landing gear is known as the oleo strut because it was originally lubricated with oleomargerine.
