Ahhhh.... I thought that one was because we'd a-bombed the natives back to the stone age and the fish had become inedible.killdeer43 said:Actually, it's supposed to be "leave no TERN unstoned."adorshki said:Thought that was s'posed to be "leave no turn unstoned"?killdeer43 said:Cover lots of ground and leave no stone unturned. :wink:
It was an order to utilize a last-resort technique to kill all the diseased terns on a small South Pacific island where no other means were available. :shock:

Go for it! We're a somewhat captive audience, :wink:fronobulax said:I guess the setup that involves using the terns in chemical "experiments" is just not funny enough to refer to? :wink:

"Leave no left turn unstoned".Ross said:Wasn't it Ken Kesey (Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test) who wrote "No Left Turn Unstoned"?
BINGO! Prankster humor at its best! Does it credit Kesey or only mention the sign?Ross said:I stand corrected - EK-AAT was about Kesey & the Pranksters, not written by him.
Anyone driving to Kesey's domain had to make a left turn off a main road into the approach road. At the intersection was a sign reading "no left turn unstoned".
Ross said:Speaking of Kesey/other authors, let's play "6 degrees of Ken Kesey":
W-a-a-y cool! (seriously). Didn't know KEsey and Thopson wer acquainted.Qvart said:I'm at two degrees. My limey friend in Ohio wrote his PhD dissertation on Kesey and the Pranksters. Had access to his personal files and library in Oregon (including letters between Kesey, Hunter S. Thompson, and Terry Gilliam about filming Fear and Loathing. He also has a small piece of the bus.
I'll second that emotion, several times over! :wink:adorshki said:McMurtry. We KNOW where that wound up. He's up there with Clemens in my opinion. :wink:
