meanwhile, back at the ranch

A quote line to introduce a new topic of conversation, or to end a particualarly embarrassing line of talk.

Derived from the old horse operas where action at one point was interrupted to go to the ranch in question; This line being spoken by the narrator in order to assist the hard of thinking. ( A hold over from radio narration style )

A;"Anyway, how did your date with Sarah go?"
B:'OK, I guess . . . Did you know she was a hermaphrodite?"
(Silence)
A:"Meanwhile, back at the ranch . . . "

meanwhile, back at the ranch

An analogy for "to continue" or "as I was saying", after an unexpected, odd, or irrelevant interruption, utililizing the crude visual or vebal segues of low-budget movies and television shows in the 60's and 70's;

You are in the middle of a conversational anecdote when someone drops an object that makes a huge racket; " Meanwhile, back at the ranch- Dave said to me etc. etc."
