they charge for obituaries and it is a lot more than you'd think
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Friday, 24 February 2017 00:26 (seven years ago) link
i knew they charged - some are much longer and more detailed than others, have pictures, etc. this always struck me as being connected to how much they cost - have no idea how much.

Man there i was with a Cindy Crawford GIF and quivering nether regions, freaked the fuck out that my dick was trying to make a cocoon, and a week later in health class they were describing the ole "Shebop" and that it was normal and meant we were ready to father a child. And i turned to my friends (both of em) and said OH SHIT I JUST DID THAT LAST WEEK! I'M READY TO FATHER A CHILD! I'M READY TO FATHER A-
and the tubby one punched me in the stomach and i fell to my knees

when they said "B.G." on Snoop and Dre albums for years I thought they meant "Bee Gee", ie, someone out of the 70s, out of touch. realized years later it meant "baby gangsta".

Ross - well, corny romantic stuff
The phrasing and composition makes it all a bit unclear (the wiki quotes disagreement between Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman as to whether the lyrics were ambiguous) but when you read it it's p clear:
And I would do anything for loveI'd run right into hell and backI would do anything for loveI'd never lie to you and that's a factBut I'll never forget the way you feel right now,Oh no, no wayAnd I would do anything for love, but I won't do thatNo, I won't do that

Just learnt that I can convert MKV files into something hopefully readable on my TV through a memory stick. VLC player can convert and save files. Haven't successfully done it yet but got one underway.Been frustrating with tv not reading a load of stuff I've downloaded.
Now would really like to find out if i have any way of saving recordings made by Horizon box to something I could store on hard drive.

yeah, those are alright, and wet Swiffers are at least barely functional, though a simple sponge mop does a better job and doesn't need a head change after every use. but a dry Swiffer mop is about as useful as rubbing the floor with a sheet of copier paper -- it traps a few odd specks of debris but 90% of it ends up getting pushed to the edge of the floor in ropey clumps that you end up having to vacuum or pick up with your fingers. my grandparents insisted that I use nothing but a Swiffer to clean their new kitchen floor (I think the contractor recommended it) but I rebelled and pulled out the vacuum while they were downstairs loudly watching Family Feud.

Did I misspeak badly? I'm saying its perfectly reasonable to still not know MKV can convert to something else, heck I barely even know what that means, assume its some kind of video file conversion.

Just now realized that Sheena Easton is Scottish. Always assumed she was American.
― “Yeah. Huh, thanks.” (los blue jeans), Tuesday, 28 February 2017 07:09 (seven years ago) link
She came to fame through a fly on the wall documentary before having her first major hit in like '79/'80. Modern girl. I think at the time she had a pretty broad accent.Prince reinvented her several years later. Not sure if she was heard of much between times. So could see why the confusion. Presumably she's U.S. based since then though.
― Stevolende, Tuesday, 28 February 2017 07:38 (seven years ago) link
I mean, she almost one-upped Dolly Parton with her own song called "9 to 5" - seemed American enough to me!

Aw, let's be fair; "Morning Train" was written and recorded without knowledge of the Parton song. And upon release, they altered the title to avoid confusion. I don't love either song, but let's not imply there was intent to one-up or compete.

In 1990, Easton revisited her home country of Scotland to perform at a festival (The Big Day) in Glasgow. After announcing, that it was "good to be back home" in an American accent, she had bottles (some containing urine) thrown at her and, visibly shaken, she was forced to cut her set short. She vowed never to perform in Scotland again.[12]

And of course Peel was a huge fan of Morning Train/9 To 5.
