Proteus Jones posted:How...? 1) I knew there was this actor that I saw in Freaks and Geeks. She showed up a few times in other places. Very memorable face. 2) I knew the name "Busy Phillips" and that it was some person in entertainment. It wasn't until I heard a comedy podcast with her on it that I connected the two.

The Philippines are not west of Thailand, around where the Andaman Islands actually are. I'm usually not an idiot in regard to geography and have no idea why I thought this.

At least that's how I understand it in the era-specific books and movies.

It's not just America in Britain there is a saying that goes "Wogs start at Calais" which basically means that everyone who isn't British isn't white. Wog being a slur for dark skinned people that is just slightly below the N-word in level of offensiveness.

Something I only found out a few years ago is that MIA's Paper Planes samples Straight To Hell by The Clash. In my defense, it's not one of their best songs.
