Yes hello I have a piece of fruit here. Is it an apple? A banana? Nobody goddamn knows.

I have a machine that I call my "car", which I can drive, but if I try to open the boot I fall through it into a black hole.

E: it's like those guys whose job it is to climb those ridiculously high telecommunications towers to do maintenance, or chemists working with compounds that are actively trying to kill them. It's not a job I could do, but somebody has to do it, so if it's something you can handle and it's your job then more power to you. I'd go stark raving mad.

3d characters are animated by pairing a model to a skeleton of joints and manipulating it with controls. The control at the hips/lower spine is always called the cog and it's taken me almost a decade animating to realize that it's because it's the Center Of Gravity.

Okay the car boot part made me laugh. I come from a more functional programming mindset as opposed to OO, so passing around objects with methods isn’t something I do. I do use javascript’s “classes” but only to declare shapes of input/output datatypes with only static values.

Cool! Functional programming languages melt my brain. We did Lisp for a bit back at uni and I might as well have been trying to draw the floor plan of an Escher house.

I only knew Jerry Orbach from Law & Order so I was very surprised to learn about his literal decades of Broadway experience.

(yes in retrospect actors don't spontaneously generate in their sixties or whatever, they usually have "prior experience" and all that but I was like three when he started on :doink: so he was Lennie Brisco for literally my entire childhood)

Anyway he was Billy Flynn in the original run of Chicago and its blowing my mind.

R. Lee Ermey and Dennis Farina didn't start acting until their mid thirties, and both got into it from being technical consultants first. Neither of them really had a breakout performance until they were in their forties.

It's the second longest running Broadway show, between Phantom of the Opera and the Lion King. So it's pretty popular.

The chorus of Judas Priest's "Grinder" goes:

"Grinder! Looking for meat
Grinder! Wants you to eat"

I just realised he means "wants to eat you", and not "wants that you should eat a meal (of meat the grinder has ground up for you?)"

Grinder is a common term for a sub in New England, so I'll take Rob Halford at his word and conclude that the man just wanted a sandwich.

I think I'm a doctor, but that doesn't make me a doctor. This fancy avatar does.
I only found out earlier this week, from a Simpsons-themed podcast, that The Beatles wrote and performed that God-awful Birthday song.

You know the one I mean...they always play it on, say, a Clear Channel/iHeartRadio radio station when the "DJ" is listing off what celebrities have birthdays that day.

If you think you don't know it...you do...

They say it's your birthday
Well, it's my birthday too, yeah
They say it's your birthday
We're gonna have a good time
I'm glad it's your birthday
Happy birthday to you


I had always assumed it was some random, cheapo no-name in-studio band that performed it for the sheer purpose of radio and TV having a cheaper "birthday song" so they could avoid paying royalties for "Happy Birthday."

Yeah I was gonna say exactly that, when you sort it out it could basically be one album that's in their top two or three, and a second album that's mostly garbage they shat out.

That might have worked if the lyrics didn't sound like, made up as they went along. As if a room full of people went around each adding a line to a non-birthday song.

"Today... is your birthday!"
"It's my birthday... too!"
"We're uh, gonna have a good time, yeah!"
"I'm GLAD it's your birthday!"

Yeah, it's not actually one of the songs I super hate, but it definitely feels like a jam session they just went with. It certainly feels like it belongs on one of the outtake collections instead of an actual album though.
