…to me, anyway.
Around 1989, the Kodak Stretch 35 kicked off a fad for 35mm cameras with the option to crop their film gates down to a narrow ribbon, for a pseudo-panorama effect. Eventually this gimmick worked its way upmarket, even coming to enthusiast SLRs like the Pentax ZX-5. Even so, I never stopped thinking it was kind of a dopey idea.
But I finally found a use for it!
Nothing prevents you from taking a plasticky 18-55 kit zoom (from a Pentax APS-C DSLR) and mounting onto a film body. Of course it was never designed to cover the full 24x36mm film image circle. But switch on that "panoramic" setting, and you get rid of the vignetted corners! This works almost all the way out to the widest 18mm setting. That's wide-angley enough that I'd almost call it a real panorama.

In railroad terminology, "humping" is when railroad cars are sorted by gravity in large, sloping railyards.
So overgrown that neither human, sheep or dog would be getting through unless they hacked out the vegetation :-)
I don't remember the details. Something with shrimp and citrus. Delicious like everything else. My bouche was thoroughly amused. Panache restaurant, Quebec City.
A deep fried rice ball with meat filling. It was luxurious and oozing in the center with an almost shockingly crisp exterior. Really well made. Loved the tiny pool of marinara dressing the plate. Simple and delicious.
