Things you were shockingly old when you learned

Yeah

:O

scumbag as an insult comes from the word's usage in the 20th century as a term for condom

gross, right?

It was a lot more transgressive when i fuckin coined it tbh

surely the s should just be dropped if that's the case

that "Quisling" was an actual person who collaborated with the Nazis as opposed to a pleasingly onomatopoeic English word with vague connotations of faery changelings or some kind of hideous and stunted birdlike creature

have you just watched The King's Choice? That was how I learned about Quisling last year.

I was aware of the name source but not all the connotations of the term. Had been thinking of it as a term for Trump but it seems to be necessary for the country involved to be under occupation which it isn't quite yet.

I was thinking it meant deceptive sellout ala 5th columnist so criteria about country actually being under occupation wasn't vital.

The 16 men are on a dead man’s *treasure chest*, and not, like, on a guy’s physical chest (like a tattoo)

"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

unless it's just a pseudonym for arnold shawmobile

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

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
