Things you were shockingly old when you learned

"One for the money and done for the rest" refers to the fact that all but one of those sixteen men are dead, too, and all the treasure belongs to the last one left alive.

No results found for "one for the money and done for the rest".

it’s not like there’s an authoritative version of that song that actually means stuff at this point

but it’s fifteen men not sixteen

i always heard it was a furlong or a shilling of men. imperial measures are incredibly fucked

It's more "got shockingly far through today before I clocked" but: Emily Bronte and Kate Bush were born on the same day, 140 years apart.

16 men and whaddaya get
Another day deader and deeper in chest

David Axelrod's a white guy

the musician or the politician?

the latter. There's a musician named David Axelrod?

thread delivers

anyway I would've sworn I'd seen pictures of David Axelrod the political consultant before, and would've sworn he was black, but he actually just had a mustache. Was I thinking of Eric Holder? Maybe.

looks white too?

My dad has a mustache but I've never mistaken him for a black man.

anyway I'm ostensibly at work

I think there's a new reissue of one of the David Axelrod William Blake lps, just saw it in a review section from I think this month.
Did some really great funky semi orchestral stuff and the Electric Prunes lps before he replaced teh actual band members.
Worth checking out if you're not already familar with him

Probably not the right thread for this but I just found that the film director in "Singin' in the Rain" being slowly driven crazy by having to record sound was Kim Fowley's father.

Not all judges have legal degrees/experience.

This kind of blew my mind

I didn't realize until about a year ago that the chorus of Run-DMC "It's Tricky" was interpolating the chant from Toni Basil "Hey Mickey" https://t.co/ZdqV93HefI

because it was so fine?

and right on time

Did you also know "Mickey" is actually a cover of a song by Racey called "Kitty"? Cos I didnt until a couple months back.

Nope! I'm learning all sorts of things about this song today.

My fave Toni Basil fact is that she choreographed and co-directed the videos for "Once in a Lifetime" and "Crosseyed and Painless".

Ha yeah I learned that a while back and also thought it was awesome.

And she has great cameos in Easy Rider and Five Easy Pieces

And Head

And Greaser's Palace

I work with the bloke from Racey's wife and didn't know this!

Things you learned from the "Things You Were Shockingly Old When You Learned" thread: There was a video for "Crosseyed and Painless."

(looks video up on YouTube): Hmmm. I think I can see why MTV never played it. Racist bastards.

So weird that Toni Basil pops up here now! I just learned from watching a season 1 episode of SNL that she was in a mid-'70s street dancing troupe called the Lockers along with Shaba-Doo (of Breakin' and Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo fame) and Fred 'Rerun' Berry (and her troupe nickname was Mickey).

And here she was just few days ago celebrating a youthful 74 years

TONI BASIL IS 74 YEARS OLD AND STILL DANCING LIKE A CLUB KID!!! THIS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU NEVER STOP MOVING!! SHE WAS ALMOST 40 WHEN SHE DID "MICKEY"💗💗💗💗💗 pic.twitter.com/PfYpypQCar

saw Toni Basil in the credits of Dennis Hopper's awful 'The Last Movie' (1971). Don't remember if she was a performer or choreographer. Also saw Russ Tamblyn (Dr. Jacoby on Twin Peaks) in the credits.

I just learned today that Gene Kelly directed Hello, Dolly! It's not like I was unfamiliar with the movie or its history or its place in the declining days of roadshow musical movies, I just . . . never knew!

I've spoken French since high school and been familiar with the phrase roughly the same length of time, but it was only this morning age 48 that I realised the phrase "gay divorcée" rhymes. Having only seen it in print I guess I mentally voiced it with a clueless Aussie accent.

I never heard of the phrase "shave and a haircut, two bits" till my partner mentioned it last night

I can do the knock, I just didn't know it had words

That’s how the barber gets rich.

My office overlooks, among other things, a set of train tracks, and the other day a freight train passing by did "shave and a haircut, two bits" with its horn.

Chuck, did you never see "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDsgkRW2hDA

my second car was a pink toyota corolla with an air horn of the same riff, except that the pipes for the notes had been switched

it was hard to convey the correct motorist frustration with that as my warning bell

Chuck, did you never see "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?"

ha, so many times

this is one of those 2 + 2 = 0 zero moments

I was reading a novel about an old lady who keeps knocking on the narrator's door, "shave and a haircut, two bits" and I just assumed she was a barber

my second car was a pink toyota corolla with an air horn of the same riff, except that the pipes for the notes had been switched

it was hard to convey the correct motorist frustration with that as my warning bell

this brings me joy

That tune as a car horn is not uncommon among Mexicans 'cause it means "chinga tu madre, cabron"

Gumbo is derived from the bantu word for okra, though it doesn't have to contain okra.

LIma beans were originally imported from Lima, Peru.

Red beans and rice were traditionally eaten on a Monday prepared using meat left over from Sunday dinner.

cos they just turned up in a multiple choice quiz

Jambalaya is similar to Gumbo except it doesn't contain a thickener.

Lima beans are repulsive and my primary objection to Peru then. and peru has so much awesome acceptable food. no comment on cuy.

Because i could not get it.
