Yep, and here is as a kid meeting Jim Root with his Dad, and then years later, recreating the photo. Quote
Paid Members Surf Digby Posted October 25, 2023 Paid Members 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
Members SuperBacon Posted October 25, 2023 Members Posted October 25, 2023 Frances Bean Cobain married Riley Hawk (son of Tony) in a ceremony officiated by Michael Stipe. Excellent. Quote
Members SuperBacon Posted October 28, 2023 Members 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

Excellent. If only Riley Hawk had married Maya Hawke they could have reunited the warring Hawk clans. Quote

Paid Members Tommy! Posted October 28, 2023 Paid Members Posted October 28, 2023 Off topic but I'm fascinated with russian history late 19th to early 21st century, should anyone have podcast recommendations. Quote
Paid Members Carbomb Posted October 28, 2023 Paid Members Posted October 28, 2023 Yeh, Lenin warned the CP that Stalin was a thug, and that he should be kept away from the leadership. Quote

Just Eat is called Menulog in Australia as well because they (Just Eat) didn't want to change the name of the company they bought out there in order to retain the brand recognition. 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

I think you can still get a free trial to Wondrium, which has some great courses on Russian/Eastern European history. Quote

I particularly like the text that says PAID ACTOR at the bottom just as ol' Snoop starts rapping, like it needs to be clarified he was hired to make a song that features somebody handgliding his rice order to him and that he simply didn't volunteer his services as he likes the convenience of food delivery services so much.

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted October 30, 2023 Paid Members 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.
