OK. A lesson for ya. We don't pronounce it like that. It's Aschoot

And "toot" is not the most common term for farting either, although it is used.

Here's how the rhyme goes....

Beans, beans good for the heart,
the more you eat.....

We're a lot cruder in general :)

Back in the 70s-90s, Grumman Aircraft on Long Island used to build the Radome of the E2C out in Calverton LI (on the borth fork just beyond the split) - but the rest of the airplane was made in Bethpage, and the radome was shipped by truck down the Long Island Expressway - now you have to picture - it's way more than one lane wide, the highway is 3 lanes - I was waiting to enter the highway (entrance closed) when the truck, with it's police escort came flying by (pun) - I entered after them, and got up to 70 mph - and they were pulling away

Ase?

It's not quite the same degree of unintentional humor as the Curtiss XP-55 Ascender.

They dropped the e too, and added another s to the end. Ass. :)

Registered to say I'm surprised no-one commented how ugly this sub head is. If Holywood ever decides to cross-breed Frankenstein with Godzilla, they should use this piece as the head - stitched, rotting, ugly. Might be intentional for the sub tho, to scare off Nazi U-boats that patrol the Antartic.

Welcome to the Cellar justush. :) Nice handle.

There's lots of ugly pics on this particular forum. Keep going and you're bound to find something to really turn your stomach. ;)

It's finished. Incidentally it was built not very far from me.

For clarity, I'd break it up into ass-choo-t
(but then I was trying to prove a point about the different pronunciations of hurry and blurry the other day, so what do I know?)

Indeed. But I was enjoying the sneeze-like quality of the altogether version :lol:


I really didn't get the ass-toot thing until milkfish spelled it out. I've only Americanized on some of those words (Tuna, Tuesday, tube, occasionally stupid...)

Ewwwww - I am seriously considering not turning up on your doorstep now - I think I would gag if you offered me a toooona sandwich.

I'll still consider it as long as you don't have any fancy words for beer I spose ;)

Bud is about as fancy as it gets.... :p

Hey what can I say, I have three kids with American accents. Adapt and survive.

How about Pastrami on Rye? Not sure what they do with tuna here, but you don't often see it in sandwiches. it's all ham and cheese, turkey and cheese, salami and cheese, beef and cheese, cheese and cheese.... :lol: I guess Toona's too messy to eat while driving, making calls, applying mascara and slurping coffee....

Leicester's speciality sandwich option is tuna, cheese and onion - tinned tuna, grated cheese and diced red onion mixed into a sticky mess with mayonnaise to bind it. That and cheese & beetroot. Offered as standard choices alongside the normal ham & mustard, cheese & pickle etc.

So I am ready for anything - even beef & cheese.

you may even be ready for a Philly Cheesesteak ...we might have to go dwellar-visiting to get something authentic....

I'm promised one from LJ if I ever make it to the States... :yum:
