Paid Members LaGoosh Posted November 1, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted November 1, 2023 (edited) The origin of the red and white striped pole outside barbers came from when barbers also offered leeching services to their customers. The red stripe is to indicate that you can get leeched there and the white stripe is to show that they also offered dental services. I learnt this from the Pharmacy Museum in New Orleans a couple of weeks ago. Edited November 1, 2023 by LaGoosh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which describes the band and their fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which happens in October, which is the month before Survivor Series. And “Coldplay” and “Clocks” both start with C. And so does CM Punk. He’s coming home guys.

I learnt this from the Pharmacy Museum in New Orleans a couple of weeks ago. I heard something similar here - the red was in reference to the fact that barbers tended also to be surgeons back then. My inner pedant used to get irked when I saw barber shops around the local area with red, white, and blue poles, which are for soda/ice cream shops - the barbers probably bought them on the cheap. But then, when you consider that barbers also used to sell condoms, maybe the blue's appropriate, even if inadvertently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Carbomb Posted November 2, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted November 2, 2023 (edited) TIL that Jersey's name most likely stems from the old Latin name of "Caesarea". However, what the Romans listed as "Caesarea" in their records of the Channel Islands is not identifiable, so the modern name comes from academics naming it based on what they think might have been Caesarea ("Caesarée" in old French).

Paid Members BomberPat Posted November 2, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted November 2, 2023 There's a pub called the Caesarea in Jersey, and it's an absolute shithole. Guernsey's Latin name is "Sarnia", and they use that a lot more than Jersey uses Caesarea - you quite often see Guernsey folk describing themselves as "Sarnian".

Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted November 2, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted November 2, 2023 I once again learnt today that Kevin Costner had plans to cast Princess Diana in the Bodyguard 2. I feel like the only reason I originally learnt that was someone on here must have posted about it years back but when I was doing some movie history reading this morning and asked myself why they never even attempted a straight to VHS Bodyguard 2 it popped back in my brain.

Would've been a sci-fi action thriller, him fighting off all those lizard-people and their agents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 I mean, that would've been fun to watch, but really crap. The Bodyguard is actually a pretty decent film, and Whitney is the attraction. She's a good actress, she's absolutely gorgeous and the soundtrack is wicked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted November 2, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted November 2, 2023 Only reason why I don't look back on The Bodyguard as fondly as some is because of how overplayed I Will Always Love You was at the time. Got so sick of hearing it, and seeing the MV with movie clips in it. In themselves, they're neither a bad film nor a bad song. I've always liked Costner, as well. Superb as the craggy-but-unspectacular romantic lead for those misty late 80s-to-mid 90s epic films. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
