Cloud Atlas was not written by David Mitchell. Well, it was, but not that David Mitchell. I read it for quite some time before wondering where the comedy came in. Also, popular marijuana enthusiasts Cypress Hill once wrote "I ain't got no kind of love for a brother who comes to the party with no bud". It took me fifteen years to work out that they were not, in fact, talking about Budweiser, despite it being incredibly obvious to pretty much everyone who ever lived.

Domus posted:I just figured out the people in the song "pepper" aren't "in love with Di(ana) and they were drinking from a fountain", but are in fact "in love with dying. They were drinking from a fountain" . There's a lot of names in that song, so it's logical, at least. I kinda like it better my way. Pfft. Next you'll be telling me it wasn't Flipper the dolphin who got a nasty virus. e: Holy poo poo, Flipper's voice was actually a kookaburra? My universe is torn asunder.

This is just bizarre. So first life somehow existed before creation? And what's that thing between butterflies and the Triceratops?

Blackbeard, aka Edward Teach, was a committed educationalist as well as a sometime pirate/ privateer. He used to hold symposiums for many topics on board his ships, and prepared a lot of his men for a working life after sailing. In fact, a lot of his teachings were passed on by those same men after they retired from the sea and they, in turn, tried to make the lot of their fellow working men better, and were often invited to give short presentations on topics they were well versed in to whatever forum interested in. For a while, some of these learned men were called "Teachers" after the man himself, but this fell out of fashion after some of his unsavoury piratical activities became more well known. Now, of course, you can identify if your lecturer is an admirer of a scurvy ridden, drunken low life with no useful skills or knowledge when they thank you for coming to their 'Ted' talk.

The treasure in Monkey Island 2 is big whoop (pronounced in a sarcastic way) rather than big whoop (pronounced in a sincere way).

Captain Splendid posted:In the Oasis song "Morning Glory", being "chained to the mirror and the razor blade" probably isn't about shaving. When Cypress Hill sang about their lack of love “for a brother who comes to the party with no Bud” they probably weren’t referring to a nice cold Budweiser.

Imperador do Brasil posted:You’re gonna have to explain this one. I’ve seen the movie a bunch of times and I don’t know what the pun is. Ok, having dwelt a bit further on it I might be reaching somewhat, but Tate & Lyle is a famous producer of sweet products, such as sugar and golden syrup. Helen's last name is Lyle, while Robitaille was an artist and the Tate is a famous art institution which was endowed, funded and started by Henry Tate (of Tate & Lyle). Tate and Lyle were actively producing products in the 1800s so there's even possibly a link (which is explored by the Tate itself) to slavery connected to sugar. In retrospect I shouldn't have called it a pun, more a reference.

When Cypress Hill were exhorting people to "throw their set in the air" they were not talking about TVs.

No. E: I'm pretty sure you could wave a TV set around "like you just don't care" if you wanted to. Particularly a small one. tight aspirations has a new favorite as of 16:24 on Oct 9, 2021 |

FreudianSlippers posted:Even a small TV in 1995 was pretty heavy on account of having all those tubes and whatnot inside. So waving it around - if you could - would be an effective display of strength to your peers right? It would be even more impressive if you could do it in a nonchalant manner too.
