Petticoat junction?

Have no idea what that refers to 

[onetrack]

It was a bit before your time, Marty. The American TV Show, Petticoat Junction, ran from 1963 to 1970.

Great song, and Harry Chapin is one of my favourite musos. W.O.L.D. goes around in my head many a time, and I often sing a few bars of it. It was a dreadful tragedy to lose him at age 38 in a freeway crash.

Sorry, afraid not correct.

Please come to Boston for the Springtime. First line of a Dave Loggins song. Probably not well enough known here.

Correct OT.

 

Explanation: Bruce Springsteen is The Boss, 200lb = 1 US ton.

                         Boss ton

 

 

 

[facthunter]

Only in USA and Canada. Called the "short", ton. Normal ton is 2240 Lbs.

"Two all-beef patties". The first line of the original MacDonalds advertising jingle for their Big Mac. The whole line is, "Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun".

 

Just makes you wonder what the other choice was, besides an "all beef" pattie? An "All roadkill pattie"? A pattie with only 5% beef and the remainder, all mystery ingredients? I reckon I've eaten a few pies that met the last description.
