    = bango (same as delverance)?

    I'm picturing some sort of hybrid designed for drunken campfire bacchanals.

    Matthew Mcconaughey immediately comes to mind.

    I noticed that as well. The plot thickens.

    Use it to play "Drooling Bangos."

    Fun Fact: the actor who portrayed the Deliverance banjo player was Billy Redden, who couldn't play the banjo and had a "real" banjo player's arms and hands reach around him under his shirt, to play the instrument, in the movie. Guess he learned after that, because he got other banjo-playing roles in movies and TV -- but ended up working at Wal Mart.

    Purports to be located in Falkirk so it could be down to eating too much haggis, the midge season or, more likely, an excess of Speyside single malt.

    As a Scot, I'd not readily have identified Falkirk as a haven of Speyside single malts, Ray. It is, however, fairly close to the massive ICI and BP petrochemical works at Grangemouth on the Firth of Forth, so maybe some stray chemical leakage is causing mutations?

    Either the seller is an automatic social bot with a limited vocabulary, or this is another instance of The C. Phenomenon (sudden occurrence of computer code snippets in humans, unexplored yet).

    Maybe not but, coming from the middle of England, its on the way for us. Falkirk does have a couple of good points; if you can thread your way through the motorway network. There's the wheel for starters and then there's the shiny horses heads. I remember reading a environmental impact assessment for part of the the petrochemical industry back in a previous existance!

    What really bothers me is that I might some day actually meet one of these people I am sharing a planet with.

    I seem to meet them almost daily while driving, it seems. Here is a hint: many drive pickup trucks with really big tires with loud (or no) mufflers
