| 555610 | 2007-06-03 08:53:00 | JamesKhan, it is an old expression which has gone out of vogue these days, it means to lose your mind in a moderate sort of a way, lose contact with reality. "the lift does not go to the top floor" "not playing with a full deck of cards" "doolally" "bats in the belfry" and so on; in this case it was used humorously with a double meaning I believe. Here is another strange one for you: "if wishes were horses, beggars would ride." -James Halliwell, Nursery Rhymes of England 1844 |

| 555612 | 2007-06-03 09:54:00 | Should've asked me 12 years ago. My brother managed to gather 500 or so marbles. Then he dropped the bag and they all went under two commercial size chest freezers that haven't moved for 20 years. |
