Alternative pants posted:I wish I still had the recording, but my high school matching band played Karn Evil as the first part and finale of our marching show my sophomore year. I was unlucky enough to be hit by a car a few weeks into the school year and got volunteered to sing the vocal part while dressed like an actual ring master in our circus themed show. Did they change the "seven virgins and a mule" line? Edit: Semi-related, it was years before I realized the actual line in Happy Xmas (War is Over) is "Let's hope it's a good one, without any fear" and not "let's all watch some football and have a good cheer" due to elementary school choir.

It's funny how things from your childhood sneak up on you. Yesterday I realized, out of the blue, that the wave of concern about "latchkey kids" in the late 80s and early 90s was actually conservative anti-feminist rhetoric. "If those drat women would just stay in the kitchen where they belong instead of getting jobs, these kids wouldn't be home alone."

It's even worse because conservative governments wanted women to work to double the available pool of workers and keep wages down. They then did this to make sure they felt like poo poo for it.

Check this out: In Swedish, the word for 'same/similar' is 'samma', i.e. to say 'the same' you say 'detsamma'. And the verb to live/reside is 'bor', e.g. I live in Sweden is 'Jag bor i Sverige'. Also, it's common to drop the r, so it sounds similar to 'boh' Therefore, the Swedish word for a live-in partner, or a person you share a flat with is regrettably 'Sambo'.

Beachcomber posted:So the opposite of Irish last names.  ...Yeah, pretty much. On a sort of related note, I used to know a girl from a former soviet country (Lithuania, I think) who had two entirely different first names - one was her 'official' name which was Russian, and the other was her actual name, which was Lithuanian, and which was illegal at the time of her birth because of cultural repression.

Alternative pants posted:We also played a piece later that year called Godzilla destroys Las Vegas, so it was pretty hit or miss with music selections at my school. My college concert band did that piece, the percussion parts are fun because it has you running back and forth between different instruments like you're operating artillery.

Idris Elba and Ira Glass aren't even remotely the same person. Their only similarities are "male, first name starts with 'I', I don't know any of their work", and that was enough for me to confuse them. I was hearing someone talk about Idris Elba in an action movie and I was thinking "isn't that that softly spoken American radio guy? I wonder why he's in an action movie..."

Latitudes are what mess me up, probably because I’m in the US. Like how Chicago and Rome are basically the same latitude. Or Kansas City and Ibiza.
