Selachian posted:Huh. I always heard the rule was that the man should walk on the outside, closest to the curb, so the woman would be protected from any splashes if someone rode/drove through street mess too fast. It seems to be one of those rules of etiquette that changes depending on when and where you are. I've heard the explanation for "men on the inside" was because of the fear that people will throw dirty water (or worse) out their windows into the street. But yeah it also changed to "men on the outside" for the reason you mention here. E: Encyclopedia Brown chat: I read one where the key to solving the case was someone claimed to have used a knife to open a letter in a Chinese restaurant, but famously Chinese restaurants have no knives.

RandomPauI posted:It might have been the TERF-analog hate group that hated a wolf that transitioned into being a sheep. Or the racist-analog hate group that hated the farmer wolf for farming and not being a herbivore. No, I think this was the white supremacist-analog that hated the hedgehog and bat for having an interspecies baby. Whom they thwarted by showing that the bigots, themselves, were not purebred and thus were instantly defeated in the court of public opinion. Edit: nevermind, this one was solved by Kevin just hitting them with a big shovel.  Edit 2: ok this WAS also the group where they DNA tested the members and found them all hybrids of some kind.

fun hater posted:you can get it at any local library. i read it when i was in middle school bc i heard it was a good movie and wanted to be cultured. This was almost my exact experience as well, except I got my copy at a used bookstore when my mom wasn't paying attention to what I was buying. Then I wrote a few entries about it in our reading journal for English class and my teacher tried to politely suggest a 12 year old shouldn't be reading that kind of book, lol. Point being, if you're a weird little kid who wants to look "grown-up" like I did, it's usually way easier to get and read a book than watch a movie.

Shugojin posted:One of my favorite parts of that is that the two people to play the role of the Conductor were Ringo Starr and George Carlin. The first time I, as an American, brought this up around my British partner (because of course I know what Thomas the Tank Engine is!) he looked at me like I'd grown two heads. He was also confused I didn't know which character the Fat Controller was, because the American version only ever called him Sir Tophamm Hatt.

Johnny Aztec posted:IIRC, while this guy was in the Nazi party, it was more of a "Join or Die" situation, and he wasn't like, a NAZI-Nazi. That's the way it was portrayed, but wasn't he a Lieutenant? There's being conscripted into the military and there's doing well enough in the war to be promoted, imo. But I guess granny good gams wouldn't dare fall in love with some lowly soldier boy pulled out of the wheat fields of Austria.

This was definitely meant as a jab at teenage boys, but it skirts close to characterizing Michael at risk of falling into bad relationships because he A: doesn't have a good one to model off of and B: he's desperate for affection and will go back to someone who treated him poorly.

How Wonderful! posted:Ruthless Rhymes for Martial Militants (4/21/1913) Unless I'm misreading it as an American, but this seems a very posh accent to mimic. If it is, I wonder if it was meant to paint the women's suffrage movement as the dalliances of the upper class and not something regular women care about. Not that it would be surprising if this was the case: this is a tactic used in political cartoons to this day (timg'd for Mallard Fillmore).

Powered Descent posted:You know what, serious thought: changing Edge of Adventure from "generic Indiana Jones pastiche" to "retro 1930s sci-fi" is probably the best decision he could make. It's not a very crowded genre these days (it's been some time since Sky Captain and even longer since The Rocketeer), he can set the realism dial wherever it's convenient to put it, and he gets to Honestly, he'd probably do alright if he did illustrated prose like a pulp novel rather than trying to arrange illustrations into a comic page.

And for an actual printed strip there's value to the syndicate in not losing the spot in the newspaper. So long as the new artist isn't bad enough to get the strip dropped entirely, I imagine there's no loss to the syndicate hiring a new artist for an existing property.

Slammy posted:Gay and Her Gang (November 28, 1928) quote:The practice of seeking divorce in Reno dates back to the early 20th century, when the city shrewdly built lodging and entertainment steps from its courthouse, drawing a steady flow of “divorce tourists” looking to escape the East Coast press. By the 1950s, by which time Reno’s divorce laws had further loosened, a thriving economy had evolved for the sole purpose of meeting divorcees’ needs while they waited — and, indeed, Reno relied on the divorce trade to keep her coffers full.
