Rick Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 I just picked up a piece of lobo that looks just like that! Good eye! lol Bigger? Smaller? How much did you give for it? (PM if you want as I'm just trying to get an idea of value in case I ever decide to frag it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 Thanks to everyone for the ID. It was sold to me as a Lobo however when I searched it didn't look the same as the typical Lobo. I can see where the confusion on the Acan Maxima is as they do look somewhat like an acan on steroids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePremiumAquarium Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I second that!!(scratch) I think it's something brownish and squishy. I am curious though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowpunk Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Okay, I got antsy and went searching....:p Shinola From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Shinola may refer to: * Shinola, a brand of shoe polish * Shinola (Energy Orchard album), an album by early 1990s Irish band Energy Orchard * Shinola (John Scofield album), a 1991 live album by jazz musician John Scofield * Shinola, Vol. 1, a 2005 album by Ween * Shynola, a group of visual artists from the UK * Shinola (band), an indie rock band from Chapel Hill, North Carolina that existed from 1994-1997 Of these I figured it had to be the first so I went further... Doesn't know **** from Shinola Meaning Possessing poor judgment or knowledge. Origin doesn't know **** from SinolaShinola was a brand of shoe polish previously manufactured in the USA. The alliteration and the fact that the two commodities in the phrase could possibly be confused is the derivation. The distinction is well made; only one of them would be good to apply to your shoes and only particularly dim people could be expected to muddle them up. Of course, outside America, most people don't know Shinola from anything at all, as they've never heard of it. Even in America it would probably not be widely remembered but for this phrase. The 'ola' suffix is popular in the USA as part of trade names, e.g. Crayola, Granola etc. This leads to the pronunciation of Shinola as shine + ola. That spoils the alliteration a little as it would work better as shin + ola. This phrase is typical of the barrack room vulgarity of WWII, which is where it originated. Other "doesn't know" phrases, also mostly from the military are, "doesn't know his arse from a hole in the ground" (or elbow, or a hot rock, or third base), "doesn't know enough to pee downwind", "doesn't know whether to scratch his watch or wind his ***". The tone is lifted a little by the English conductor Sir Henry Wood who expressed a similar opinion with "he doesn't know his brass from his woodwind". I had to know!!! It was driving me crazy(nutty) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePremiumAquarium Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 So is this brown shoe polish or black lol? I am just wondering if my guess might have been even remotely close to shinola. Thanks for getting this info together. Looks like we know where it comes from now. I am going to start using this phrase just to help keep it alive. Good stuff.
