    Similar with the colobus monkey belching, I heard on the movie “The Other Side of Heaven” that belching in Tonga means it was a good meal. John H. Groberg thought he was being rude after all those years at home in Idaho!

    General Gist was one of six Confederate generals killed or mortally wounded at the Battle of Franklin, Tennessee, November 30, 1864. The story of this battle is especially tragic, even for the Civil War.

    Apparently that burping greeting extends to the only slightly more advanced hominids known colloquially as “Teenagers.”My friends named their son “Woodstock Struggle” I kid you not!Check out the film “The race to save 100 years” it states that all the old celluoid stock that was retuned to Hollywood was eventually dumped off the Santa Monica Pier. That would explain the lights I saw in the water there, it’s the old film burning! JK

    I just wonder what his friends called him. “Hey, States, how’s it going?”

    Well, that means in college I lived in a dorm with a bunch of Colobus Monkeys. One guy we could hear clear across the campus when he burped. An apocryphal tale was that he set off a car alarm once…

    Celluloid film, can also ignite spontaneously. Many houses were lost due to people keeping films and photo’s under their beds and in closets. Very bad stuff really.

    Ping Pong balls are made of celluloid. Older ones would sometimes actually explode when hit. Newer ones are a little safer.
