Same with the Pokemon theme song and nearly every Dickinson poem, thanks to the magic of the Common Meter https://medium.com/illumination/the-cursed-emily-dickinson-and-pok%C3%A9mon-crossover-39cdc9bcb9c7

Platystemon posted:I doubt that. Ooh we talking scary nature poison? How bout the spotted water hemlock which not only kills you quickly and completely, but it will hurt the whole time. quote:Every single muscle starts firing and contracting, so you have convulsions, you chew your tongue into ribbons, you vomit but then you can’t open your mouth because the jaw muscles are contracting 10 or 20 times as hard as they normally do, and you die a horrible death. quote:There is nothing good about the plant. Those who eat it will die in two hours. It must be a painful death. It twists the arms and ankles and turns the head back. Finally they die in a last wretching convulsion. They say it turns the eyes back. I will not forage for wild carrots.

The Moon Monster posted:Recently realized it's "I wish that I had Jessie's girl" not "I wish that I was Jessie's girl". I kinda just never actually listened to the song when it was on the radio. Fun fact: Rick Springfield has one of the most extensive collections of Star Wars memorabilia in the world.

St_Ides posted:In the Canadian military it's procedure to yell "grenade" *before* throwing a grenade. Unlike the movies, "say again" is how you request someone to repeat all or part of the transmitted message. "Repeat" is asking for another round of artillery or naval fire support. Depending on circumstances, mixing those up will either matter not at all or quite a lot.

Michael Caine chat For some reason, actor Richard Harris HATED Michael Caine and never missed an opportunity to trash talk him. Just absolutely despised the guy
