And here it is as a filler - the pinup that let us know Mindy was Clark-Kenting everyone.

How do you get cheese puff dust and grease on your glasses?

Re: Cheese Puff Dust 2020-01-31
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?
(Dave cues up "Invisible Touch", knowing that her glasses received something other than that...)
The more ominous scenario is that she didn't. That is, it wasn't her who got cheese puff dust and grease on her glasses... it was someone else. The dreaded Cheese Puff Stalker may be at it again...

I feel like we need some in between shots with a magical girl style transformation sequence.

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.

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. 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.

Even if this is filler, it's nice to see that the "transformation" thing is now loaded into the canon.

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.

It seems that oleomargerine was the only thing that would not either stiffen or melt from the temperature changes in flight.

The classic, "cute bookworm", anime trope. The shy, nerdy, girl, is all plain looking, until she removes her glasses.

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.

The first oleo strut was brand-named "Aerol" - pretty sure that that's derived from "air" and "oleo" {which Dictionary.com says is "a combining form meaning “oil,” used in the formation of compound words"} referring to the oil and gas inside the strut.
