Da sub-machine gun dat Uncle Duke takes with him on hiking-trips to shoot game (and possibly John Denver, too, but dat's another story!).
Da Doonesbury cartoon-character Uncle Duke was modeled after Hunter Thompson, which is a hilarious coincidence in dat Duke is very fond of firearms, especially automatic weapons.

Da complimentary gingerbread and hot chocolate dat they serve you at da public-transportation depot to make ya feel less bummed out when they hafta delay a departure due to a scheduled trip's being nixed for whatever reason.
Another example of a "cancellation consolation" would be if someone had to regretfully forgo a promised activity due to an unforeseen mishap, but offers you a comparably-enjoyable alternative, such as if a cute chick had arranged to go for a pleasant stroll hand-in-hand wif you, but then she accidentally hurt her foot and thus made it too painful for her to walk a long distance, and so she offered to let you savoringly massage her pretty feet for an extended period instead.

Refers to a ketchup dat either comes in a huge --- i.e., "magnum" --- container, or is super-spicy, and so it really delivers a humongous "wallop" when tasted.

A classic "Objection, Your Honor!" reason, this term refers to someone's merely theorizing regarding how/why a less-than-pristine condition came to be.
Attorney: Now, Mr. Jones, did you observe that the traffic light was about to turn red?
Witness: Well, I did see the light turn yellow.
Attorney: But you were in a hurry, eh, and that's why you did not bother to notice that the signal's red lens was spattered with mud?
Opposing attorney: Objection --- speckulation.

"You can stroll a store's aisles till Doomsday and never spot da item you want, but then, just as soon as you interrupt a staffperson to ask for help in locating said desirable, THAT'S when you will notice your sought-after item right off!"
While stocking up on food at a Super Walmart, I was looking for larger packages of Armour Vienna sausage so that I could save a few cents per can, but although I had thoroughly searched the surrounding areas on the shelves, I still hadn't found anything bigger than the small six-packs, so I finally asked a nearby employee if there were any of the larger packages in stock, possibly in the back room. Well, just as we were both walking back to the area of the aisle where I'd been looking, THAT'S when I finally spied the 12-packs that were sitting on the very top shelf! Guess that was a classic case of Murphy's Law of Customer-Assistance... ah, well, again, the 12-packs were indeed sitting very high up, so at least that was a plausible excuse for my not having seen them before, especially since the store usually doesn't even expect its customers to notice stuff that's placed 'way up there, anyway; that "lofty" location is merely where they store extra merchandise for replenishing the lower-down shelves when the stock there starts to run low.

Da exceptional lengths dat are gone to in an effort to reach an end-goal related to a canyon or ravine.
