^Haha that would be a UK-specific one I suppose. Although where royal ends and navy begins I could see being a contentious point.
― Josefa, Sunday, 20 June 2021 17:41 (two years ago) link
Yes, I was wondering what those were called outside the UK, if they have specific names at all.
― Are Animated Dads Getting Hotter? (Tom D.), Sunday, 20 June 2021 17:43 (two years ago) link
I mean, sky blue is pretty obvious ... and universal.
They’re called the same things in the US but there’s not the natural link between the words ‘royal’ and ‘navy’
― Josefa, Sunday, 20 June 2021 17:45 (two years ago) link
Oh right, like 1776 never happened.
― Are Animated Dads Getting Hotter? (Tom D.), Sunday, 20 June 2021 17:47 (two years ago) link
the word "royal" in the US usually makes people think of RC cola
― cancel culture club (Neanderthal), Sunday, 20 June 2021 17:47 (two years ago) link
Does it? I would think of the Kansas City baseball team first and then maybe the old typewriter brand.
― Josefa, Sunday, 20 June 2021 17:52 (two years ago) link
Wrt to 1776 I think that in the American imagination the British will always be associated with the color red, because of the coats they wore at that time. It’s also why the New England Patriots changed their dominant uniform color from red to blue back in the 1990s. People thought it was incongruous that they would wear red jerseys given the historical connotations.
― Josefa, Sunday, 20 June 2021 18:04 (two years ago) link
Navy blue is darker than royal blue. I associate that color with pea coats.

Warren Ellis the shitty comic book guy vs. Warren Ellis the Bad Seed and Dirty Three guy
The former has been all over Twitter this week for shitty behavior and more than once I've gotten bummed thinking it was the latter before I remembered the other guy exists.

I suspect the bad Warren Ellis attempted to return from cancellation just 49 weeks after https://www.somanyofus.com/ because he saw outpouring of support and good press for the other Warren Ellis launching an animal sanctuary in Sumatra, and thought he might be able to trend positively

Coulda sworn I did Franciscus/Franciosa before on this thread but evidently not. One thing that helps me tell them apart is I can easily imagine Tony Franciosa saying “That’s sensational!” but James Franciscus I can’t

Which one was Longstreet, the blind(ed) detective? Believe it is the second one.
― Planck Generation (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 30 June 2021 17:39 (two years ago) link
Which one was married to Shelley Winters? Less sure of that.
― Planck Generation (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 30 June 2021 17:40 (two years ago) link
Longstreet = JamesMr Winters = Tony
― Are Animated Dads Getting Hotter? (Tom D.), Wednesday, 30 June 2021 17:41 (two years ago) link
By the second one I meant James Franciscus. Who did indeed play Longstreet and the other one was married to Shelley Winters, as I suspected but couldn’t be sure of.xp
― Planck Generation (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 30 June 2021 17:42 (two years ago) link
Huh… Franciosa rebounded from Shelley and married the daughter of director William Wellman
― Josefa, Wednesday, 30 June 2021 17:47 (two years ago) link
Before Tony Franciosa, Shelley Winters was married to Vittorio Gassman for two years!

They're nothing alike of course, Franciscus was a bland blond and Franciosa was a scenery chewing NY Italian with a Kirk Douglas chin.
― Are Animated Dads Getting Hotter? (Tom D.), Wednesday, 30 June 2021 17:52 (two years ago) link
Shelley Winters stayed single for 45 years after the Franciosa thing and then remarried one day before she died
― Josefa, Wednesday, 30 June 2021 17:54 (two years ago) link
Actually it was James Franciscus who married William Wellman’s daughter! The confusion continues!

Shelley Winters was with Gerry De Ford for 19 years and they married the day before she died. Unmarried /= single.

Nothing to do with their names, but I was watching Warning Shot with Stephanie Powers, and I realized I've always mixed her up with Jill St. John--which is not hard to figure out with the connecting thread of Robert Wagner.

... also I've just found Americans don't use stones at all, only pounds. Something to do with stones being an Imperial measurement and the US being out of the Empire when Imperial measurements were quantified.
