No myth, but I'm starting to think it was because of my troubles with fructans/fructose and MSG somehow enhancing the effects. Foods with MSG (no onion or garlic powders) seem not to bother me. KFC - migraine, intestinal cramps & nausea. Foods with onion and/or garlic powders - nausea. Oddly, I've found I can eat onion rings with no issues.

Can't eat KFC (onion & garlic powders & MSG), and chicken & waffles sounds meh. When I was little, there was Brown's Chicken (the same company as "Brown's Chicken Massacre"). You could get any meal with a roll, butter and honey. The rolls were average, but pouring the honey over the chicken was really good.

Well, they could do an introduction about how Angus is making a new wardrobe, consisting of a "Whole Lotta Rosie".

Mirror image the photo, remove the rope and put a guitar neck in that hand - HEY, it's Angus Young!

Scotch tape comes in handy for those screws. Just sticky enough without leaving residue.

Gonna sound dumb, but when we had issues at work with Dell & IBM laptops going dark, we'd just undock or unplug and pull the battery for a few seconds. Then reverse the process. It always worked. Forgot - you could also check the CMOS battery.

BSODs still happen, but Win10 has it so that the computer immediately starts a data dump procedure to send to MS (if you opted in), provides you with a QR explaining what is going on and then attempts a reboot.

As did Jimmy Pesto.

Kinda weird that a cartoon series would have 2 different characters promoting 2 different restaurant chains. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wimpy_(restaurant)

The cartoon Popeye's thing was eating spinach. There are other Popeyes, both real & fictional. Don "Popeye" Zimmer & "Popeye" Doyle for example.

Umm, in Taken 2, they take his ex-wife and himself. His daughter escaped. What if they did a mashup of Taken & The Transporter, with the girl in the trunk of Martin's car being Mills' daughter? Hijinks ensue.

He wasn't in a Fed. Pen., he was in a city lockup. Even a Mayor could have ordered a "youse guys make yourself scarce for awhile" hit.

I knew someone would make this argument. As myths, legends, lore, etc go, it's fairly contemporary. When most hear the word "myth", they think of the ancient Greeks & Romans.

Excising future back & forth from the Memes thread. Paul (McCartney) is Dead. The story as I remember it was that on a rainy night in the late 60's (just prior to Sgt. Pepper), Paul is driving in his car and sees a young lady getting drenched. He pulls over to offer a ride and she accepts. As they resume, she realizes who she's in a car with and flips out. Paul loses control of the car and slams into a wall, killing himself and the girl. The clues (not necessarily in order - Abbey Road LP - The front cover shows George dressed as a common man/gravedigger. Ringo as a mourner. Paul, in the suit he crashed in as the dead man, he's out of step, shoeless and holding his cigarette in his right hand (he's left-handed). John as the preacher. The back of the album cover shows the wall the car slammed into. The crack in the wall runs through "BEATLES" indicating there's a fracture in the band. Magical Mystery Tour - I Am The Walrus - In some Nordic mythology, the Walrus represents death. Strawberry Fields Forever - at the end it says, "I Buried Paul". White Album - Glass Onion - the lyric "The Walrus was Paul" sung by John, admitting that Paul was dead (see: I Am the Walrus). Revolution #9 - playing the repeated words "number 9" in reverse sounds like "Turn me on dead man". Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - Front cover is Paul's grave. The guitar (in flowers) has four strings, Paul played a 4 string bass and faces with the fretboard to the right (as Paul would play left-handed). Paul holds an oboe across his body as one might when lying in repose in a casket. On the interior of the album, Paul has a patch on his shoulder that purportedly says, "OPD" (Offically Pronounced Dead).The "old Beatles" are in mourning (depicted). The back of the LP shows George, John and Ringo facing the camera with Paul facing away. George is making an L with his fingers, Paul's belt has a circle (an O), John has his hands tucked in his belt as a V and Ringo interlaced his fingers in an E (L-O-V-E). George's index finger also points to the lyrics of "She's Leaving Home" on the line "Wednesday morning at 5 o'clock...". Some DJ flipped the front of the album upside down & found that "BEATLES" looked like 537-1438, so he called the number on a Wednesday at 5 am and asked about the Beatles - the person who answered only said "PM". The DJ asked if the person could say anything more and the person said to call back later. The DJ checks the lyrics and finds "Friday Morning at 9 o'clock...", so he calls at that time and the number has been disconnected. In the song, "A Day in the Life" are the lines, "He blew his mind out in a car, he didn't notice that the lights had changed, a crowd of people stood and stared, they'd seen his face before...nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords", meaning his face looked familiar but was too messed up from the crash to identify. Another part of the story has there being a "Beatles Look-alike" contest, hosted by a British Radio station with the winner getting some Beatles related stuff. The winner was a near match for Paul. His name was something like George MacKenzie. When Paul "died", the remaining Beatles grabbed him to fill in, despite his not knowing how to play any instrument. The rest covered for him on albums until they taught him how to play. Supposedly this happened before SPLHCB, which was why there was such a drastic change between it and the albums that came before. Someone even tried to do a dental comparison from photos, claiming that the Pauls had different smiles and tooth alignments. I think there's more that I've forgotten. For their part, The Beatles claimed that they had no hand in the rumor or adding to it. A joke going around was that Paul's guitar playing "improved after he died". I personally don't think any of it is true, but I think the Beatles did play along to some extent. I'm pretty sure, that the patch that supposedly says "OPD" is actually "OBE" (Order of the British Empire)" award which they all received (and John returned).
