After successfully stocking up on crisp new yellow hexagonal No. 2's in Pencilvania, I headed on up the coast to Vinylhaven to pick up some oldies on LP. Town Manager Susan Lessard was certainly very pleasant and welcoming when I eagerly breezed into her office at the town hall, but then when I asked for directions to the nearest records-stamping plant, she just gave me a puzzled look like she didn't even have a clue what I was talking about ("Well, sorry to disappoint you, Sir, but all of our new-product vendors switched to CDs years ago"), then smilingly suggested that I check out their local thrift shops for a broad selection of nice pre-owned albums.

Da "hellfire and brimstone" device dat burns you to ashes if you've committed serious wrongdoings during your time as a mortal on Earth.
If I've actually behaved (or rather, MISbehaved!) so horrendously dat "Heaven doesn't want me, and Hell's afraid I'll take over", maybe I don't hafta worry too much about "da horned Evil One" and his insinerator.

In da animated short "Pinkologist", da Little Big-Nosed Guy complains dat he suffers constant propinkuity to a certain playful puma; no matter where he goes or what he does, said harmless-but-infuriating four-legged whisker-face always seems to show up not too long afterwards!

Refers to da practice of giving da store's clerk your already-rung-up bags of merchandise to hold for you behind da counter, so dat ya can come pick them up later.
Paid-up layaway is a good idea for when you've either (1) car-pooled into da mall with a friend to shop, and thus you do not have immediate/easy access to a vehicle to transport your purchases at da time you bought them, or (2) you've parked a good distance from da shop dat you're currently in, and you've unexpectedly found large quantities of bargain-priced items and/or one or more heavy/bulky pieces of merchandise dat would be too hard to carry or wheel in a cart all da way back to your vehicle. What you do, therefore, is to tie up da shopping-bags' handles to secure da contents, attach paper labels with your name, and leave them with da clerk; dat way, even if a different salesperson is staffing da checkout-counter when you get back to da shop with your vehicle, said new staffperson can just look at da labels on da bags sitting behind da counter, and thus know for sure dat those bags are indeed yours and already paid for, and thus he/she can feel confident and comfy about handing them over to you.

Refers to da voluminous "watering" dat occurs when several big dudes drink copious quantities of Buds and Coors and then majorly "drain their radiators" on da ground afterwards.
In da famous song "Second Week Of Deer Camp" by "Da Yoopers", they speak of da guys having created "a ring of yellow snow" all around da hunting camp due to their frequent intervals of beerrigation throughout their days of indolent debauchery --- "We drink, play cards, and shoot da bull, but never shoot no deer".

X-on is all in support of powering vehicles with oilternative energy sources; that doesn't leave many cost-effective options, though. Solar and electric are too cheap and long-lasting to allow for the windfall profits that Big Biz wants.

What a lazy-a** malingerer does --- i.e., availing himself of the brains/muscles of anyone nearby to do jobs ("Would YOU do this? Would YOU do that?") for him --- instead of getting up odd his ample butt and tackling said tasks himself.
Biff Tannen was notorious for his conscience-deprived lack of effort and ambition; ever since they were in school together, Biff would youtilize the nerdy wimpy-natured George McFly's superior book-knowledge and intellectual patience/perseverance by bullying him into completing Biff's paperwork-assignments for him.
