The New Am I The Only One Thread

I never heard the term "glamping," but when you put it that way, I guess I can see how it would be bothersome to actual campers and camping afficianadoes.

Lewis and Clark, Daniel Boone, the Continental Army, they never went glamping.
That was one of the cool things about Boy Scouts. By the time you're ten, you get to experience taking a backpack with everything you need for an overnight stay, hiking a mile to your campsite, pitching your tent (or if the weather is nice enough, sleeping under the stars, which was awesome in the summertime).
We didn't have to hunt or fish for dinner, but we did have to cook what we brought with us. Some did go fishing for the sport of it.
But the whole point of these weekend camp outs was to build self-reliance. And it was fun. Being out in nature, having some of that pioneer spirit, I wouldn't trade those times for anything.

Am I the only one who's fascinated by how a light bulb can be burning all day long, and obviously is extremely hot that if you touch it you'll get badly burned, but after you turn the lamp off, the bulb completely cools off in just a matter of minutes? Even the insides of ovens and stove eyes don't cool off that quickly after you used them to cook for a few minutes.

Incandescent bulbs give off heat, fluorescent bulbs do not.

Am I the only one that doesn't get this phrase?

"Period point blank."

I mean I've heard people say "period" at the end of a sentence for decades, but never "point blank, period," or, "period, point blank."

Am I the only one who could see Big Jeffy of the Monotones totally being a Dr. Teeth-sounding Jim character if said group was never thought of?
