My Shoes posted:I only know it works with iphone but if you have the awful app and you go to write a text, the awful app icon will pop up in your scroll bar below the line where you type your text (along with all other applicable apps like youtube, photos, itunes, etc). If you just click on that awful app icon there all the smilies pop up. I just did this and holy gently caress thank you. Now I can be an even bigger weirdo to all my coworkers and friends.

In Portuguese, elk is “alce”, and moose is “alce americano”, or American elk. Problem solved. I was in main a couple of decades ago with my friend and his family who were birthed from those northern woods, going up a side tributary of the many rivers that fed into Lake Ambajejus in a small aluminum fishing boat, when all of a sudden from the brush on the riverbank, there materialized a moose calf. My friend’s stepdad immediately silently freaked out because he knew there had to be a cow around and if we got anywhere near her baby we’d all be trampled in quick fashion. They’re beautiful but scary when you come across them suddenly.

Edgar Allen Ho posted:There are already american elk that are a different thing from moose, hence the confusion Ah yes but in Portuguese those would just be “veado grande”, or big deer.

I love Tom Waits. Seeing him in movies is always one of the most rewarding little moments in a film. His voice is amazing and his acting is also top-notch.

Pastry of the Year posted:I thought "Funkytown" was two separate songs for a while. Let me explain: you don't often hear the song in its entirety unless you make a point of seeking it out. You usually hear a snippet from it, either the instrumental bit at the beginning or the chorus containing the title drop. Those two parts don't really sound a whole lot alike, so when I told someone I was looking for the song that goes [vocal recreation of the instrumental part] and was told, oh, that's "Funkytown," I was sure that the other person was mistaken. No, I know how "Funkytown" goes, it's [vocal recreation of the strings and whatnot in the chorus]. Long time ago, but I had a similar experience with “Layla” by Derek and the Dominos for a long time. The piano section is so out of place and contrasting with the beginning of the song that when I was younger I’d just think they always played these two same songs back to back all the time.

In a wonderful bit of irony, my last name means “Church Party”, and our family coat of arms is a white church with a red roof on a green foreground and blue sky. I’m Jewish. My dad’s family is German Protestant, so he converted to marry my mom, whose family is ashkenazi

My 16-year-old son refused to learn to properly read music when he was younger, but he’s a very skilled musician who can play multiple instruments. Occasionally he comes up with a music theory lightbulb moment on his own and I am like “maybe you should actually learn the theory and become even more versatile” But alas. He is a teenager. He really didn’t like HS band after a while because he didn’t like just playing band music with no rhyme or reason. He much prefers just jamming for hours.
