Default Curious - what does Landoleet mean?

Curious - what does Landoleet mean?

Is it a play on words for "landaulet"?

http://www.dictionary.com/browse/landaulet

And if so, does it refer to a "small motor car with an open back" or does it refer to an older definition, like a horse-drawn open carriage?

And if so, is the symbolism an inside joke and play on the fact that Reaper development is right there out in the open, for everyone to see?

Or am I totally off base?

I always assumed it was a reference to Land O' Lakes butter.

Yes- the bread always falls with the butter side down...

But I thought it had something to do with the Langoliers:

Mis-spelled on purpose to avoid copyright issues.

(After all it is the Langoliers that "eat up" the past)

^ RobU has it. It's jsut a typo. Was meant to be "landoleek"

Leeks are a favorite food of Llamas, thus Justin raises his Llamas in the Land of Leeks.

Camelot is a castle and court associated with the legendary King Arthur. Absent in the early Arthurian material, Camelot first appeared in 12th-century French romances and, after the Lancelot-Grail cycle, eventually came to be described as the fantastic capital of Arthur's realm and a symbol of the Arthurian world.

And there was me assuming it was a mangled scottish version of "land of light" which is how Scotland has occasionally been described in the distant past.

It's the name of the town where Justin was born, backwards.

The famous little village in the Carpathian mountains called Teelodnal, in Wherethefuckovia.

Very quiet and little to do but drink potato vodka and code all day....
