If you vote by mail only the last one counts, so you can override yourself until the last day. AFAIK

credburn posted:I understand that "monkey cheese" is shorthand for that kind of random comedy that was really popular in the 00s. Didn't realize until now it's a reference to an actual cartoon, created by James Rolfe. Makes perfect sense. Ugh, I hope that guy didn't turn out to be a huge poo poo; I haven't paid any attention to him in quite a while but I recall reading that he was a really decent guy. I think "monkey cheese" humor came from kids watching media characters like Ed from Ed Edd and Eddy, who used a lot of non-sequitur humor and were big in the late 90s-early 00s, and trying to copy them without really understanding what makes them funny. Since their audience was also a bunch of kids it often worked even if the material kind of sucked. I got some big laughs with monkey cheese humor around, I want to say, 1999. Then when their tastes got a bit more refined (say 8th graders vs. 6th graders) they'd look back and say "wait this material is actually pretty bad". Kids have some intuition for comedy so when selecting "random" words they choose things like monkey and cheese that have associations with fun and zaniness rather than, say, bottle or deer.  I don't think there was a singular progenitor of monkey cheese humor, I'd assume the term was coined by an observer to describe it.

I remember not monkey cheese but the phrase "cheese monkeys" getting a lot of play when I was in 6th grade. Sounds similar to "cheese eating surrender monkeys", which was also from the Simpsons. Looks like someone did eventually write a book called The Cheese Monkeys.

I didn't figure this out, I had to be directly told, but there's a hip-hop, rap and R&B station in my town called WDKX. What I never knew was it's D for Frederick DOUGLASS, K for Martin Luther KING Jr., and X for Malcom X. My mind was loving blown when I heard that, I nearly drove into a fire hydrant.

Drimble Wedge posted:Stations don't come up with their own call letters, though? Here's a thing we both just learned quote:While the earliest radio call signs were randomly or sequentially assigned and intended merely to distinguish transmitters, they soon became an important part of a station's identity, and since the mid-1920s government regulators have allowed station owners to choose their own. I knew they weren't random (for example here in seattle the station KEXP is affiliated with and broadcasts from the Experience Music Project) but i thought they were assigned by i dunno the FCC or something
