Paid Members Surf Digby Posted October 25, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted October 25, 2023 Today I learned that Sissy Spacek provided the voice for Anne Uumellmahaye in The Man With Two Brains. For all the times I've seen it over the last 30+ years, I don't think I've ever even wondered who it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Frances Bean Cobain married Riley Hawk (son of Tony) in a ceremony officiated by Michael Stipe. Excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 In Australia Burger King is called Hungry Jack's as some flaming galah from Adelaide had already trademarked the name and they couldn't use it. This nugget of information was brought to you by my 10yo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent. If only Riley Hawk had married Maya Hawke they could have reunited the warring Hawk clans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much, but Stalin's main beef with Lenin was that Lenin thought Stalin was rude..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the adverts are the same, but instead of using the words "just eat" they say "Menulog" as demonstrated here by celebrity Burnley fan Snoop Dingle.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you can still get a free trial to Wondrium, which has some great courses on Russian/Eastern European history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted October 30, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) Presumably Australian advertising laws are very strict, or people are that stupid. Maybe they actually meant the hang gliding delivery guy was the paid actor so people wouldn't get disappointed when a guy on a moped delivers their food to them. Edited October 30, 2023 by jazzygeofferz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
