In The Lion King, when Scar says "I was next in line, until the little hairball was born" he's not contradicting his previous statement about not being there for Simba's presentation. He means he was next in line for succession.

Stairs posted:

Before she was his wife, she was his mistress, the networks didn't like him casting her for Number One. She got the role of Nurse Chapel by dying her hair blonde and looking so different that even Gene wouldn't recognize her at first. So he cast her as Nurse Chapel because if he couldn't figure it out, the execs wouldn't either until it was too late.

For my own contribution:

Two lines from the MST3K version of Manos: The Hands Of Fate only clicked for me once I saw it in the theater the other day. I'm reasonably sure given the uploader that this isn't :filez:, but I'll delink if a mod wants me to.

- The line "Work, booze, work" means he's begging the booze to kick in and make him drunk. I always figured it was him resignedly thinking about how his life is just a cycle of work, boozing, and working.

- The line Hey, it's Mary Kay.. Kay Kay is a KKK reference. I can't even tell you what I thought it meant (some echo for some reason?), I only put two and two together after the audience at the theater made a "Ugh, a KKK joke?" groan.

I didn't just realize this, but a few months ago I realized that there's a solid reason why milk was always the Default Dinner Meal in my family: my dad grew up on a dairy farm, who of course would have milk available a lot as a kid.

This one I did just realize and it's really embarrassing: all my life my parents taught me that if I had a head cold and my nose was clogged, it meant there was snot in there that I needed to blow my nose. No, your upper nostril area swells up when you're sick, which is the actual why your nose clogs up! I was always telling my parents there wasn't anything up there, but they demanded I keep blowing my nose!

If only you could see what I've seen with your eyes
Anti aircraft shells aren't just designed to hit enemy aircraft but also explode near aircraft, whether with a timed fuse or a proximity fuse. That's why when you see footage (especially WWII) you see explosions mid air despite the shells not actually hitting anything.

It doesn't help clear up a head cold, but it does prevent your kid from running around dripping snot everywhere. It's just one of those little lies parents use to keep their kids in line, like saying the ice cream truck only plays music to let people know they've run out of stock.

The funny thing is when enough generations forget to explain the truth later and it becomes an accepted fact, like saying you can't touch baby birds or their mothers will smell the human on them and they won't take them back.

Yup, birds don't really have a sense of smell, let alone one strong enough to distinguish between themselves and humans. If a kid moves the nestlings though they'll probably break up the nest a bit, or knock one of the nestlings out. Hares and deer probably would abandon their young if they caught you in the act of grabbing at them, if only because of the fear of being caught themselves. I don't profess to know much about wildlife behaviour though so take what I say with a grain of salt.

I'm just a little surprised that MisterBibs' family ate only milk for their meals.

But to be serious, that some families don't drink milk surprises me every time I hear about it. I guess being it's being Scandinavian & practically immune to lactose intolerance. Milk is delicious as hell.

My parents were both born in Europe and we always had milk with every meal. I feel like it's a generational thing, though. Like on the Wonder Years or in 'A Christmas Story', they're always drinking milk with dinner.

It wasn't always milk, it was just the standard thing you drank for dinner. Sure, some things you'd have Serra Mist / RC Cola if you're having fast food or pizza, but anything else? Milk. My girlfriend's family, you drank water with dinner.

When I was a kid, we only had milk or ice water. Now, my wife and I just have water with dinner. My kids always have milk. I don't know if the calcium helps, but I know my great aunt never drank milk as a kid and she was very weak at the end of her life compared to my grandfather who was as strong as a bull until he hit about 91. He drank whole milk every day until he died.

She still lived into her mid 90's though so I don't know that it matters. My other grandfather only drank wine, Jaegermeister, and ginger ale. He made it to 81 before bone cancer took him. He could have lived another decade if not for that. He was hale until about a week before he died.

Nothing? We drank water/tea/orange juice throughout the day if we were thirsty, but we usually ate dinner by itself.

Milk at dinner here, too. We would go through a gallon every other day between my brother and I. It was always 1% or skim though. I drink exclusively whole now that I am an adult and making my own milk decisions.

I think having no beverage at all with a meal sounds an awful lot weirder (in the "less standard across the population" sense, not as a value judgement) than drinking milk; but that's from a Land-O-Lakes White American perspective.

I didn't know about milk at dinner until I had dinner at a white friend's house. We had London broil, potatoes, mixed veggies, and salad...and milk. I thought it was utterly bizarre.

Good point. Drinking with meals must be super uncommon. Otherwise every single meal you can purchase at every restaurant on the planet would come with a beverage.

I have a immune disorder that causes dysphagia, so if I'm not drinking fluid after every bite (which I chew thouroughly), I'm getting a painful poo poo-its-stuck feeling that has caused me to have to go to the hospital on multiple occasions.

I go through water like you wouldn't believe.

Drinking milk by itself is weird. Having to have a drink with every meal is weird. If I have a drink with dinner, it'll be beer or wine. If I have a drink any other time at home it'll be water, tea, coffee, or in summer, punch.
