Eastlick and Other Stories
Page 26
[56]An archaic colloquial term for “mean” or in some cases, “mean to mother”.
[57]Yet another variation of the German phrase for “Holy Cow”—more literally translated as “My God in Heaven!”
[58]A common syndrome easily observable at smaller scale whenever adolescent children are left home alone for longer than a day by too-trusting parents.
[59]Where, happily, even minimal further research suggests they had little difficulty finding what they sought.
[60]Again, doubt is cast upon this assertion by some scholars who point to evidence such as one 4,000-year-old Sumerian stone tablet inscribed with the words “Drink Elba Beer, the beer with the heart of a lion.” Then again, maybe Elba’s franchise had simply never branched out into Europe...
[61]This assertion is vigorously contested by most British scholars, though it must be noted that the oldest acknowledged functioning brewery in the world is 900-year-old Bayerische Staatsbrauerie Weihenstephan near Munich. Coincidence? We think not!
