What's a palooza?

“What the fuk's a palooza? First it was Montanapalooza, now on another thread there's talk of a SierraPalooza and a CanyonPalooza.

I don't know about you but "palooza" sounds like something falling out a baby's ass. Not something I wanna be associated with.”

“Good!”

“What may have started the name was Lollapalooza, a big music festival in the 90's. I went to it the second and third years. Primus rocked!”

“steve hiker, you sound a little bitter, lad.”

“Bingo Arty!”

“The name exisited long before the concert.

Lalapalooza means "something extraordinary."

It's in some dictonaries.”

“The term, 'lollapalooza' is older than all of us put together.”

“lol·la·pa·loo·za also lal·la·pa·loo·za

n. Slang
Something outstanding of its kind.”

“That certainly describes Montanapalooza!!!”

“It was a "Palooza" of a trip!!”

“Gee, and all this time I thought it was a kind of spotted horse.”

“So, I've been wondering..... Who was the one that tagged it 'Montanapalooza', in the first place?”

“LOL Chili!

I was thinking the same thing.

...too poor to buy a horse, too proud to ride a cow...”

“I did, back in November or so, when someone was trying to get Newgirl to set up a trip. I envisioned Homer Simpson as the human cannonball catcher at the time.”

“A palooza is one-half of of a 'double palooza'.

A male 'palooza' is a 'paloozo'.

A young child is a 'paloozling'.”

“What Artex said.”

“"It's in some dictonaries."

how would YOU know??? heh heh!”

“"What Artex said."

You thought Primus rocked also?! Sweet!”

“Artex - I misled you...sorry. I was aware of the concerts, but didn't attend. I just meant that was the source of the "Palooza" that aero used.

I'll bet Primus rocked, though!”

“Yeah, I figured, I was just ribbin' you. :-)

And Primus did indeed rock.”

“not sure but ill let you know when i get back from PApalooza next week”

“i have an appaloosa dog!”

“The trip rockedpalooza!

8P”

“Artex, I've never been to Lolapalooza, but I think Primus rocks too.”

“Yes, they most certainly do! I remember I made my way up to the very front row against the fence. Les Claypool does this little thing where he points his finger and shakes his hand. He looked in my direction and I did the finger-hand shaking gesture to him, and he looked at me, yelled "heeeeeeeeey!" in the microphone and returned the gesture. It was pretty funny!”
