You have truly led an interesting life. (I've seen some of your other comments referring to past, ummmm, exploits.)

So in your honor:

Hamlet: To what base uses we may return, Horatio! Why may not imagination trace the noble dust of Alexander, till he find it stopping a bung-hole?
BTW, do you remember the comic strip Wizard of Id? The court jester / drunk was named "Bung".

I don't know a thing about the cattle industry, and from the sound of your comment, it's probably just as well I'm ignorant of it. I eat very little red meat (I'm not a vegetarian; red meat doesn't agree with my system since I turned 50 or so) so I tend to not frequent McDonalds except for the occasional order of fries when I'm traveling.

"Beef bung" just has an unpleasant ring to it...

Is she the past tense of someone in Menachem Begin's family?

I think it came from an old classic tune Begin the Began or something.

> so be it, death by bunga bunga”
That’s the way I heard it also, except then the phrase was “buff buff” instead of “bunga bunga”. I think I prefer the sound of the latter for the joke.

I heard it as “death by RU-RU”

Except that it was spelled "roo roo" in the version that Dave Barry popularized...

Now, if we can only figure out the meaning of "Macaca" we'll have it made...

Amazing the facts and data the press can discover and report, when they put their puny Socialist minds to it.

Too bad they can't do as well “investigating” real issues that truly matter.

But, we already knew this even before Sarah was nominated for Veep...and Obama was "vetted" by that selfsame Press.

Why, it's clearly an epithet directed at diversity. It sounds like maccaw or Maccau. As we all know these indigenous terms should not be uttered by the undiverse.

And, to top it all off, it ends with "caca," which is foreign for poo. It's all some kind of xenophobic, racist and quite possibly speciesist code, of that there can be no doubt. /s
