all I can say is that wang chung named themselves that because they thought that was a good description of what an electric guitar sounded like. Don't know how I remember s*** like that and not my nephew's birthdays, but I do.....

The guy who came up with that expression singed his blowhole after eating popcorn.

Love the song but never got this .
It's from Mark Twain... "A Tramp Abroad."

(Jimmy throws literary allusions into a LOT of his stuff. The man is seriously well read. )

Here's the quote:

"I knew, by my scientific reading, that either thermometers or barometers ought to be boiled, to make them accurate; I did not know which it was, so I boiled both. There was still no result, so I examined these instruments and discovered that they possessed radical blemishes: the barometer had no hand but the brass pointer, and the ball of the thermometer was stuffed with tin foil. I might have boiled those things to rags and never found out anything.

Frémont, July 1842--repair of his barometer.
This I boiled and stretched on a piece of wood to the requisite diameter, and scraped it very thin, in order to increase its transparency. I then secured it firmly on the instrument with strong glue made from a buffalo and filled it with mercury properly heated.

I hunted up another barometer: it was new and perfect. I boiled it half an hour in a pot of bean soup which the cooks were making. The result was unexpected: the instrument was not affected at all, but there was such a strong barometer taste to the soup that the head cook, who was a most conscientious person, changed its name in the bill of fare. The dish was so greatly liked by all, that I ordered the cook to have barometer soup every day. It was believed that the barometer might eventually be injured, but I did not care for that."

There is a recipe for Barometer soup on Recipezaar...thankfully it doesn't use barometers. It has a weird group of ingredients, but it is actually very good.
