I just rewatched Clue a couple of days ago and looked Madeline Kahn up afterwards to see what she was up to these days. Yup, I forgot that she died; that was a fun thing to be reminded about  I will watch Mixed Nuts in her memory.

Tasteful Dickpic posted:It's not very funny, but I have a lot of sympathy for Lovecraft. He's a horrible racist who was so against miscegenation that he likened it to having sex with fishpeople, but he was also afraid of ending up in an asylum (since that's what happened to his parents, especially his mother). He essentially starved to death because his stories never earned him much money. His racism came from fear, and not hatred. That makes him pitiful, and you can't hate someone like that. Also, his writings and ideas are super-influential on generations of writers. I remember reading somewhere that along with his terror of darker-skinned people and insanity, Lovecraft also had a massive fear of being cold - at first he needed it to be 80+, then 90+ degrees, so I find it quite amusing that the real source of fear for him in At the Mountains of Madness probably wasn't the Terrible and Incomprehensible Ancient Ones from the Dawn of Time or the Unholy Horrors that Luck in the Depths AKA Shuggoths, it was that antarctica is really quite chilly and uncomfortable.

Poor ol' Howard, thought of that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes, and died.

They left out self-medicating to block the pain.  ('totally scuttered' is irish slang for getting really really drunk, like completely banjaxed, polluted, mauldy drunk)

RFC2324 posted:I still have to ask questions, as I have never heard banjaxed, or mauldy used as words. 'Banjaxed' when used about things means completely wrecked, damaged beyond repair and when used for people means very tired or very drunk. Now that I think about it, I don't think it really exists in any other grammatical form; like, you can't actively banjax something, it can only have become banjaxed. 'Mauldy' (first syllable is like Mao of the little red book) is a variant of mouldy and means something is very nasty - a person can be described as mauldy-looking (ugly), a food can be mauldy-tasting (horrible) and if you are mauldy drunk then you are very messily drunk.

 Context: Dude is apparently an American who is super proud of his Irish heritage and wants to let everyone know that Blue Lives Matter. He very obviously has no knowledge of the irish language and used a dictionary to translate 'Blue Lives Matter'. The result is so incredibly bad, like really amazingly bad - it basically reads "Blue (the colour) dwelling (as in Kevin's dwelling) Matter (as in dark matter)". Bonus Fun: even if he managed to accurately translate the phrase 'blue lives matter' into coherent irish, it would STILL mean 'Black Lives Matter' because for weird historical reasons black people are called blue people in irish! Not even going to start on the utilikilt and hip-mounted e-cig holster. https://thegeekygaeilgeoir.wordpress.com/2017/09/06/even-racists-got-the-blues/ Pookah has a new favorite as of 12:13 on Sep 8, 2017 |

Most parrots go through a stage at around the age of two which is pretty much like adolescence is in humans - they get rowdy, destructive and rebellious. They also take up 'hangin out' at the mall, as pictured above.

I was just having another look at https://www.theuncomfortable.com/ and saw this line in the designer's 'about' section:quote:My goal is to deconstruct the invisible design language of simple everyday objects and tweak their fundamental properties in order to surprise you and make you laugh. But also to help you appreciate the complexity and depth of interactions with the simplest of objects around us. Goal achieved ten times over as far as I'm concerned; her designs are wonderfully funny, annoying and they really do make you appreciate the processes that produced so many of the things we use every day. Also coffee and teapots that fail one of their fundamental requirements - which is to pour well, are depressingly common.

fishtobaskets posted:Not being from the region, is getting marooned by the tide in Dublin something that is blatantly simple to avoid? Or can it really catch you off guard if you're not a native? It's very easy to avoid, very rarely happens and the two dum-dums are from Dublin, so I'd say the situation was 99% due to Jedward being eejits.

Zamboni_Rodeo posted:Nothing will ever be funnier to me than the time I saw a guy yelling at his barking dog: "Richard! Stop it!" Once when I was out walking my dog (Henry btw), we saw another person with a much bigger dog coming the other way, so my dog got into position to say hello to to the other dog. Other dog dodged the friendly meeting by walking closely behind his person until they passed us - all the time he was staring at my dog in that sidelong way dogs use when they want to look at something without being seen. 'Michael's shy', his owner explained.

   I was googling 'mohair turtleneck' today for entirely normal reasons, and discovered a whole world of puzzlingly enormous fuzzy sweaters (and other knitted things). Why are they so big? Is it maybe an illusion and it is in fact the woman who is very tiny?
