Is it like that autopsy show about the dyslexics who are comfortable with their birth gender?

God, never heard of the show before so was wondering what the pun actually was. Now looking it up on IMDB looks like i got the pun without having seen the show.

I figured this out when I saw the French translation of the title which is something like "50 tons de Grey", which doesn't really make any sense as a title. I mean, why not also change the guy's name in the book so that the title actually works?
― silverfish, Tuesday, 26 May 2015 17:21 (eleven years ago)
i still haven't figured out why there are 50

this Staind album (2003) actually makes sense because it has 14 tracks. I feel so bad for Aaron Lewis, though: he must have been so angry and confused when 50SoG got popular ("this kid is eating my lunch!")

so you kinda have to read it to understand

(they're sex dalmatians)

all dalmatians are sex dalmatians! but I appreciate the explanation.

I didn't realize until I read this month's Rolling Stone that the name ZZ Top was a take-off on B.B. King.

It took a while to realize Stephin Merrit's band Gothic Archies referenced a Gothic arch. I just figured the comic book characters as Goths was the whole thing.

are you saying that you didn't get that "alfred, lord sotosyn" is a reference to "alfred, lord tennyson" or is there something else

― put a skronk ornette (wins), Sunday, June 14, 2015 10:42 AM (10 minutes ago) Yes, I am saying exactly that. It took me ages to see that. Sorry for the thread derail. Nothing to see here, carry on.

i never made the tennyson connection before, but i don't know alfred IRL or anything like that to trigger a last-name connection.
