Just seeing the number 42 in a thread like this reminds me of one of the few things I remember from one of the maybe hundreds of keg parties I had been too almost 40 years ago.
One guy found some type of not exactly fresh food somewhere. (details remain fuzzy, maybe that food was too) Anyway, Friend I'll call Bill claimed that food didn't look so bad and he'd eat it for $5. Arguments went back and forth until someone I'll call Marty that knew him longer than I did asked him if he wanted to gain another 20 lbs, then reminded him that over the course of a year or so he went from 180 lbs to 200 lbs by eating God knows what for cash and then with the attempted help of the Marty, Bill went from the 200 lbs to 220 lbs by doing the same thing. After hearing that a handfull of us did the math and figured 240lbs wasn't far away and started chanting it. 240! 240! 240! 240! 240! 240!
What's really weird about that, is that a group of us beer drinking guys chanting 240! 240! 240! 240! 240! 240! turns pretty quick to 42! 42! 42!
So I guess it's possible that bohuggabee has said multiple times somewhere else that his 240 mpg it turned into the 42 mpg.
Oh, yeah, I didn't see Bill for 25 or so years and mentioned that day. He shook his head and told me we sere about 100lbs off. I didn't say it but I believed it based on how he looked.
