light the blue paper

To go to bed. The expression comes from the instructions to users of firecrackers -- "light the blue paper and retire immediately" meaning to stand well clear once the wick of the firecracker is lit to avoid being hurt by the ensuing explosion.

Yawning, Peter said, "It's after eleven, time to light the blue paper."

white lighter myth

Bic did not start making lighters until 1973 . All of these people except for Cobain died by 1971. Maybe it was a white lighter but it was not a Bic.

a little light on his feet

Effete, a bit of a poof, possibly homosexual

The fellow professes to be happily married, but he's a little light on his feet, if you ask me.

M82 Barret Light Fifty .50

A precision, semi-automatic rifle chambered in .50 BMG. .50 BMG, being the same caliber used in Browning anti-armor and anti-aircraft machine guns since World War I.

Primarily used for anti-armor or "anti-matierial" operations. Capable of stopping many small armored vehicles, it serves its purpose well. Its effective range is over a mile. Although impractical, it can be used as an anti-personnel weapon. For sniping "soft" targets, a lighter weapon like a 7.62mm rifle would be preferrable.

There's an artillery emplacement on a ridge about a mile North of here. Someone get me an M82.
