I didn't know Kurt Cobain was so short!

― Tuomas

At 5'10" he was a veritable midget.

I'll see your Dylan with Carter, and raise you CECIL TAYLOR with Jimmy Carter:

bobby zimmerman is the one who hasn't been named yet

lol that anyone could be expected to know who "JEC" is from his initials

I knew that was a US prez but didnt pick it as Carter. Must the US cultural imperialism be *quite* so rampant on this thread? Or can I scoff at everyone when I post pics of Harold Holt hanging out with a football player and everyone asks who it is.

tbh I thought that was JFK too.

we cant help it that america has the best famous ppl

When Australia is the world's imperialist power for 50 years I will be ashamed when I don't recognize its leaders.

exactly.

"soz"

"Yah, I know who Graham Arthur is, but who's the dude with the snorkel?"

Also in this thread, this imperialist American learns that Britishes still use the term "ripper" when mentioning criminals who rape and murder women.

that was like 1978 tbf, basically Victorian times

"Yah, I know who Graham Arthur is, but who's the dude with the snorkel?"

hahahaha :)

I guess RuPaul must be wearing high heels and the guy behind Cobain is a giant, then? Plus he doesn't look any taller than his wife in that pic.

the guy behind Cobain is Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic and he is taller than Charles Barkley

Ru Paul is 6'4" without heels.

cecil taylor and jimmy carter, blimey

love dave grohl in that gif. he looks like he works in a fast food restaurant in the simpsons.

is that The Yourkshire Ripper in the picture with Bruno and Saville?

Charles Barkley is a former basketball player, btw.

Played for the Miami Dolphins.

He also had a smash hit a couple of years ago with the song 'Crazy'

And was best friends with one of the guys from Tony! Toni! Toné!

has there been a dedicated tuomas disinformation thread yet?

A new ILX, a new compendium of our intreped hero Tuomas staring into the vast seas of mystery.

i meant more like a thread where we present tuomas both true and false bits of american pop cultural/political history and then he has to decide which are true and which are false but we never actually tell him.

maybe lorax can start it w/a true or false history lesson

That would be ridiculous since anything we presented could easily be checked on Google for the correct ans –– oh, I see where you're going with that.

I want to make a "Two Princes" Spin Doctors joke but can't make it work.

I went searching for screencaps of that video after I posted that before coming to my senses.

found another Mr. Bean photo for Tuomas:

joke never gets old

kinda hate tori amos but http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxhp2vABGG1qbq45jo1_500.jpg

Polly Jean looks bored and Bjork looks like she'd rather be anywhere other than listening to Tori Amos tell a story about something.

it's so true. it's tough to interpret this picture as anything other than tori amos ruining the evening

bjork's face is like "I'm sorry your hair is so frizzy Tori, also wtf are those shoes"

Yeah Björk is full of pity for Tori tbh. I like how PJ already gave up being emphatic and started to roll a joint.
