Older Hunter S. quotes are best imagined as finishing with him just screaming wordlessly, like in that clip where Conan O'Brien went and visited him to shoot an M60 and drink whiskey.

ReindeerF posted:With reference to pants chat, I wanted to point out that here in Southeast Asia the goons pride ourselves on remaining pantless as a routine part of life. We probably also get statistically less done. My impression was that the old-dude-pants-high thing came from the time right after WWII when they stopped rationing fabrics and suddenly the market was kind of glutted and people went a little overboard. So you got high-waisted pants with tons of pleats because it was so cool they could afford that much material again.

SubponticatePoster posted:With SNL, the older the better. 70's had Bill Murray, John Belushi, Dan Ackroyd, Gilda Radner. 80's had Eddie Murphy, Dana Carvey, Mike Meyers. You'll notice that people from the 80's are no longer funny Dan Ackroyd isn't that funny anymore either. Remember his rant in Blues Brothers 2000--it's okay if you don't--where he goes off for a few minutes about how kids these days all listen to rap and hip-hop and that's not real music?

XyloJW posted:Back when the internet was young, I found a website selling exotic meats. It was a plain html website with just the choices of meat, a description, a picture, and "email for price and shipping information." Buffalo steaks and buffalo burgers at the top, then ground emu chuck. Then lion steaks and lion ribs. Hippo steaks and hippo roasts. Ground giraffe meat. And at the bottom, "We have acquired an elephant. Transporting elephant meat is illegal in many countries, so please verify that you have a way to receive it before contacting us. We will cut to specification." How big do you think their freezer is, where do you think it is, and how big a forklift do they have there?

Anecdotally, in New Jersey US history I got a nice treatment of labor history, with a lot about populist movements, post-Civil-War domestic politics, a documentary about the Homestead Strike, excerpts from The Jungle... good stuff. I didn't appreciate at the time how cool that was. Then in California I took US history again and it was only poo poo that was gonna be on the AP test at the end of the year.

Finally reading Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72 after all the recommendations and I cannot believe even Rolling Stone was willing to give HST a job doing this poo poo. Just got past the part where he drunkenly lends his press pass to an ex-con who gets drunk and assaults Ed Muskie and into the part where he goes off on a tangent about Muskie being addicted to speed which was complete bullshit he was just spewing to meet his goal for column inches.

Doesn't help that Watergate proved Nixon really had played some dirty tricks against Muskie's campaign, not that they needed to.

I started to make a bad joke about charity being the name of the hooker when I was struck by curiosity about what hooker names are in other languages. Do sex workers in Francophone countries still pick working names like charité or étoile or are there different trends?
