Common expressions take on a different meaning over time, other times they simply fall out of favour depending on how old you are.

Also Portland, IN, where my folks were from.
Some still used and/or 'revived', others dead as a doornail(whatever that is).
It is, of course, entirely up to the caretaker of the beaver to decide how its fur should be maintained. However-IMO-some that have been shorn(to whatever degree)may look as if they may have been seriously injured and their natural furriness camouflages that appearance.

Particularly, since I don't recall (most) doors being made with nails.
Maybe, it was originally toenail.

Old barn doors.
Wait a second, there, buddy. That's the front door to our house.
Ah, then you should remember doornails!

Martin Luther used doornails. Don't know where he got them?
And a good morning moo to you and yours
I was never a great math guy!Uh, not to be Mr. Math Guy, but if you built them in 1972 they'd be about 49 years old. Prolly just a typo, I'm guessing.
“Prolly”? Probably just a typoI was never a great math guy!
Wrong quote but too lazy
"Prolly" has become the new spelling of 'probably', at least partly 'cos it's how many people pronounce 'probably'.(Prolly“Prolly”? Probably just a typo

The express elevators to the 95th floor of the John Hancock building take 45 seconds to go up and 48 seconds to go down. That's hauling buns!The concoction I call Time Travel Juice is equal parts Blackhaus and brandy, served neat. This fine recipe is courtesy of a bartender at the WTC. The ride up is impressive. Hm. Not visited that memory in a while.What I'm looking at through this lens of time are incredibly fine colleagues.
If I'm going to choose my own lens of time to drop in on, though, it's after hours in Milan. This is teh besto. A stroll back from work for a cold beer and light snacks before we all chill for a few hours. Then come 10:30 or 11 it's dinnertime
There was a law that no building in Milan be taller than the Duomo. I believe that's not true now. What is good is cocktail hour on the roof of my residencia. On a good evening after a rain, the Alps are there, so close ...

Les playing a Fender Jazz? Wow. First time I've seen that.
