Homo Mixer

For 50,000 dollars, he's got to do more than just sit there in a mechanical position. Where are his friends? I think he's pretty cut, physically, but probably no brains. Body by Nautilus, brains by Mattell. He looks like he could clean an oven, however.
 
Latin Homo= man in terms of species. Vir= male

Greek Homo= same (roughly) like homogenization makes the fat content in milk the same throughout instead of allowing the fat to separate and float to the top. The name makes sense for a mixer that combines different ingredients into one dough or batter.
 
I lived on a farm for three years many years ago...

(if you met the farmer you'd know why....whooo I'm warm thinking about it!!!)

Anyway there is nothing like fresh milk. I mean right out of the cow and really cold. You do need to shake it up a bit because of the cream but you'll never taste a better glass of milk.
 
I remember the "homo milk" in big letters on the carton when I was a kid. This term went down the same road to oblivion that the term "gay" did when associated with something colorful or a good time ;-). Quite possibly The Flintstones theme may be the last time we ever heard any sort of media generated reference to having a "gay old time."

When I was in junior high, I had a nutty social studies teacher who spent far more time telling stories about her movie producer dad or the havoc resulting from pet squirrels that had gotten loose in her house than she did on social studies. One day she touched on the subject of homosexuality and wrote on the board "Homo = Same" and she got a ton of flack from the class advising her that "Homo" didn't mean "same," it meant "man." She basically laid down the law (she could when she wanted) and said that for this particular lesson it meant "same" and that was that. I wasn't one of the vocal students but always wondered how she equated "same" with "homo." Thanks for enlightening me nearly 40 years later Tom, and I'm sure Mrs. Scholes thanks you too, wherever she may be.

Hey Ralph, it works both ways, at least for men

the beauty and the power of the word homosexual

Greek, homo= same sex

Latin, homo =man sex

works either way, YAY

In my part of the state of Michigan it was not at all unusual to see signs at party stores and gas stations advertising "HOMO Milk" for $1.99 or what ever. Still see it today on occasion.

It begs the question, since milk in stores for as long as I can remember has always been homogenized, why advertise it that way?
 
Back in the "day" there were really only two kinds of milk..."homo" equalling whole milk run through the homogenizer, and "skim" meaning skimmed of all butterfat.

Later, they came up with 2% (i.e. lowfat) and then all the different types (1%, 1/2%, skim-plus (essentially with coffeemate added...yecch)
 
Many older dairies offered Cream Top milk in special bottles with a tulip shaped area at the top under the opening. Cream rose to the top and could be poured or spooned out for coffee or the jug shaken to mix the fat into suspension briefly for drinking or other uses.

Sorry Mike, but it does not work your way. As my Latin teacher explained, "We are all homo, but only a male is vir." So what you were trying to construct would be virsexual.

Our milk containers always had homogenized spelled out as well as pasteurized. Skim plus has milk solids added, not the coconut fat and other noxious components of artificial creamers. The purpose of skim plus is to keep the fat content reduced, but give the milk more body than plain skim.
