I watch A LOT of movies but recently I've made a lot of wrong assumptions.

Until yesterday, for no good reason whatsoever, I was under the impression that A Simple Favor was a remake of An Indecent Proposal.

Wtf is wrong with me.

Strangers On A Train is entirely unrelated to A Simple Favour AND Indecent Proposal despite those both being potentially perfectly good titles for that movie.

I always assumed that's what boring suburbanites wore in the early 80s.

In nautical terms, "port" means left and "starboard" means right.
On my left is a table that I place my drink on.
Sometimes that drink is port.
I drink my port with my left hand, therefore:

Port = Left
Starboard = Right

'Larboard' comes from 'lade board', which was the side where you put the gangplank used to load (laden) the ship. And the gangplank goes from the ship to the port.

Let’s break that down: “Made IRA”

Who made the IRA? In a sense it was the UK, as they would never have formed otherwise.

Now, Madeira is in Portugal. What do the UK and Portugal have in common? They both hate Spain.

Why? Because of it’s navy.

Portugal is to the left of Spain, port is to the left.

UNLESS you’re in Australia. Because of the equator.

I used to picture Grace Slick rolling in her grave every time someone played "We Built This City On Rock and Roll". But this is not true. She wasn't dead in the 80s when it got recorded, she's still alive now, and she's the one singing the loving song. :gonk:

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?

When catching up on threads you can quote a good post from ages back and then just click on the quoted part to get back to where you were and continue on. You would think something this simple would have occurred to me a long time ago but here we are. Maybe I do have what it takes to lead the country after all.
