View Full Version : Cutting right angle donuts

I was wondering about this line:
"Cutting right angle donuts on a dime"

Anyone figured out what this is meant to say? If so, I'm sorry, haven't found it in the other threads.

I was wondering, because, from the context it appears that this is a reference to some kind of weird flight maneuvers that the stealth banana vessel made before it stopped at the dewd's Birkenstocks.

Al"rah, appologies for this thread, this is turning out to be a waste of forum space. But as a non-native English speaker I was unfamiliar with these references and expressions..

Did some google work and here's the outcome for the donut maneuver:

Also, google revealed the expressions "turn on a dime" and "stop on a dime" which apparently mean to turn/stop instantly or on a single spot.

So for all those who - like myself - were unable to make head or tail out of this, this lyric says:
the banana vessel was performing fast rectangular spinning motions on a spot and then stopped at my feet.

No, his donuts (Krispy Kremes) stopped at his feet. ;) But I would like to know how this is gramatically meant.

these vessels are traveling to alternate dimensions via a 90-degree movement which transfers a being from one dimensional overtone to the next. they are "on a dime", i.e. immediate (duh). to start you off, see: the philedelphia experiment (i hope it doesn't hurt your head too much...)

edit: too many "move-" words (switched to "transfers"). pax!
