BURY ME AS I LIVED, A FREE MAN ON THE CLUTCH

christmas boots posted:

TBF it was weird when he started banging the wife of the guy he killed.

I don't know if it's a thing, but I would imagine that, because some guys get obsessed with Japanese woman, I'm sure there are plenty of Japanese women obsessed with Americans.

When I was in college, 20 years ago or so, I had many friends that were Japanese. Most of them were dating white dudes that had no particular interest in Asians. Sure, I knew people with "Yellow Fever" but none of my Japanese friends would date them. They preferred just normal white boys who didn't really care what their race was.

Wasn't it depicted that way? I remember it being weird but making a strange sort of sense.

If you kill someone you're basically required to shtup their widow.

I'm pretty sure it's in the Bible

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

I mean yeah. But considering he only spends one winter with them it seems like an awfully quick time to go from hating his guts to being in love with them (although they didn’t actually gently caress)

Apparently there's no John Hopkins University. It's Johns Hopkins University.


In my defence I don't live in the US and I've only ever heard it referenced in passing in TV shows and stuff and it's a really fuckin' weird first name. (I googled it and he's named after his grandfather Johns Hopkins, whose mother's maiden name was Johns and she decided to give it to her son as a first name.)

My father taught at JHU and I went to school with a kid named Johns (he went by "Jack"), so it never occurred to me that it might be a weird first name until I left that little bubble when I went to college.

Interestingly enough it's not because of his name "OJ" but because he took a lot of steroids.

This is sort of a local shibboleth. If you hear people pronounce it as John you can tell they're not from the area.

This is how that Mandela Effect poo poo happens.

Except I don't understand why people thought Mandela himself died in prison, considering he was president of South Africa for years after the end of apartheid. Which raises the question, was there a famous anti-apartheid activist who did die in prison in the 80s?

I know it's not worth it but I'm going to post it anyways because questionable etymology itt


quote:

At Burns' suggestion, the group settled on Leonard Skinnerd, a mocking tribute to P.E. teacher Leonard Skinner at Robert E. Lee High School. Skinner was notorious for strictly enforcing the school's policy against boys having long hair. Rossington dropped out of school, tired of being hassled about his hair. The more distinctive spelling "Lynyrd Skynyrd" was being used at least as early as 1970. Despite their high school acrimony, the band developed a friendlier relationship with Skinner in later years, and invited him to introduce them at a concert in the Jacksonville Memorial Coliseum. Skinner also allowed the band to use a photo of his Leonard Skinner Realty sign for the inside of their third album.
