F6 - Having had tumultuous relationships with various Stromberg carb sets a generation or so ago, I found the simile quite apt. When they're hot, they're hot...when they're not, ptooie.


..."As he stared at her ample bosom, he daydreamed of the dual Stromberg carburetors in his vintage Triumph Spitfire," he wrote, comparing a woman's breasts to "small knurled caps of the oil dampeners."

P.S; They're called 'dampers'...not 'dampeners'.

'twasn't exactly "troubling" the boys. Not, at least as far as I know the meaning of the word.

A mother of two boys reported a topless sunbather to police because the way she applied suntan lotion was "troubling" her sons.

i read the article a couple times before i realized that the "mum" was not so much bothered by the neighbor's bared jugs as her technique in applying the lotion. I would volunteer to show her how the lotion could be applied in a much more dignified manner.

But i bet by now the boys have found an excuse to be in her back yard. Mowing the grass, picking up discarded bikini tops and empty lotion bottles, for instance. And they probably are beseeching the pope to send them more hot, dry, tanning weather.
