We might’ve worked together Magic City, the fun strip club where the strippers sleep on the back floor, because they’re homeless. I never used my stripper with those strippers though. I just cleaned CDs because the owner was too cheap to get a proper jukebox for his dancers to dance to. And yes, the strippers had to pay for each song.

Springfield and Shelbyville weren't founded by people who added a suffix to name the towns, their names were unaltered.

In Fatboy Slim's "Weapon of Choice" the lyric "move without rhythm, you won't attract the worm" is a Dune reference. I thought it was just a vague metaphor adjacent to "the early bird gets the worm", about dancing through life or whatever. (And of course, soon this shall all be fulfilled with a direct Christopher Walken connection.)

90's kid here (born in 87) so I watched Men in Black a ton growing up. There is a line where Will Smith is complaining about Tommy Lee Jones' liberal use of the mind erasure pen thingy. Will: You'll fricassee someone's brain out. Now growing up I had just assumed that this was a sort of slang or play on for gently caress/frick someone's brain up (remember I was like 9 when this came out.) Only this week did I learn what a fricassee is. I've been doing some recipe hunting and came across it. So I just realized Will Smith is referring to turning their brain into a loose slop. Still not a good joke but I finally understand what the heck he meant by it.

I never knew what a fricassee was exactly, but I knew it was a cooking term thanks to Bugs Bunny. Somebody didn't watch enough Loony Tunes as a kid! (Fellow 90s kid here.)

Ha, I was just gonna post about that, I knew the word from that cartoon but the meaning escaped me. So that entire gag (Elmer wanting to shoot Bugs to make s rabbit stew, Bugs claiming that would be illegal because he's a "fricaseeing rabbit") went over my head, and I just assumed for years that fricaseeing meant some other old word for a different use for animals, like being used for fur or something.

So the M was pretty dang good, comparatively. In the 80s it would've been an L easily. 3D Megadoodoo has a new favorite as of 08:27 on Mar 2, 2023 |

Maybe the album is referencing Oscar Wilde, but the song is referencing the album. The lyric is literally "So check out 'Halfway between the gutter and the stars'" ...and while fact checking my post, it brought up the wiki page which says the same thing, that the song references the album which references the quote
