Her ex-husband, Rick Salomon, was Paris Hilton’s co-star in her sex tape 1 Night in Paris. A few years later, she played Paris Hilton's mother in National Lampoon's Pledge This!

That’s… awkward.

This

ISN'T "Handsome Squidward".

This

is "Handsome Squidward" (with torn clothes)

The first is some even handsomer form. I don't know if it has an official name but I propose "Adonis Squidward" or "Handsome Squidward God Handsome Squidward". I think about Handsome Squidward a lot but it had probably been a decade or two since I actually watched the episode.

The Hokey Pokey isn't just some dumb song from the 70s or 80s. It's not just some dumb song they were dancing to in World War 2, as I saw today in a period drama. It's nearly two hundred years old, "with variants attested as early as 1826" according to Wikipedia.

Similarly, the Chupacabra sounds like a creature from old folklore which has been around forever but it was invented in 1995 and was almost certainly based on jumbled up recollections of the movie Species

I 'learned' that recently as well but I'm finding it seriously hard to believe people weren't high fiving since like forever? Sure maybe that's the first recorded instance where someone described it but isn't clapping your palm to another person's palm in celebration as a sort of shared clap a thing that humans have been doing since forever, literally before we started recording things?

It just seems like such a universal gesture.

Maybe it’s because we’ve seen it in media so much, and as such it’s been depicted in very anachronistic settings so we just kinda think it really is a long-used universal gesture

Great.

Just some actors I recognized in some old media:
  • Sid Haig and Paul Winfield are in the "Trial By Fury" episode of Mission Impossible
  • Dick Miller (from Gremlins) has a very small role in "The Undead," a bizarre hypnosis-time-travel Roger Corman movie (seen while watching MST3K)

I dunno, just kinda cool to stumble upon some old faces.

The important details are that they didn't invent clapping others hands. Ex. Clapping games date to the mid 19th century. They invented "high five!" as a reason to clap another's hands in a hell yeah context and then touch their butt.

This is a total stretch, though. The 19th century lyrics are:

quote:

Fal de ral la, fal de ral la:
Hinkumbooby, round about;
Right hands in, and left hands out,
Hinkumbooby, round about;
Fal de ral la, fal de ral la.
The article even admits that the currently known tune was a 20th century publication and earlier folk songs used different tunes. The Hokey Pokey is descended from earlier folk songs that developed over the 19th century and the idea of a dance where you put one limb out at a time and do a turn is definitely at least that old, but the song we sing while we do the dance is exactly what you thought it was.

To understand what happened at the diner, we use Mr. Papaya. This is upsetting because he is the friendliest of fruits.
That's where the distinction between inventing and codifying something comes into play.

D&D codified the hell out of RPGs and high fantasy settings, to the point of birthing the "actually it's a wyvern" phenomenon because of how comprehensive it made a point to be about such things.

Sure, for example in Monopoly you role-play as a capitalist hero with the righteous and honourable goal of wiping out all the worthless poor people.

And the high-five was invented by a fascinating dude named Glenn Burke in the late 1970s, because he was so excited for a teammate who hit a home run. He just stuck his hand up and the other guy didn't know what to do, so he slapped it, and a legendary move was born. The Dollop podcast did an episode about him, which is pretty good (tragic ending, though).

D&D is a fantasy version of a Napoleonic wars themed wargame that escalated into roleplaying in the 1960s.

Which is why D&D nerds are called grognards.
