3·11 months agoA B Q named Finger
Regardless, I’m glad they asked because I mistakenly read the tombstone as Robert Picardo to begin with, so their question clued me in that that was not what was written.
You’re all misunderstanding the etymology. It’s called a flashlight because it was named after its inventor, Barry Allen.
FYI not every bucees is the size of a department store, although most of the ones they’ve been building along interstates over the past 10-15 years definitely are.
There are plenty, especially near Lake Jackson where they are headquartered, that are the size of a regular gas station.
0·1 year agoSame here. I did a little googling and can’t find any corroborating evidence, but I also learned that Hammond’s Grand Tour insurance premiums are now more expensive than Top Gear’s budgets were for entire specials.
Were Richard Hammond’s many crashes a result of cost skimping? If so, I had no idea. Could you elaborate?
All my rexes live in Texas.
I also need to know what it’s from. It’s definitely giving horror comedy vibes.
Rockmelt is a fork of Chromium, not a fork of Chrome. Same with Maxthon. Both Chromium and Chrome are maintained by Google, but Chromium is open-sourced while Chrome is not.
This is the only community I’ve seen that has far surpassed the Reddit equivalent. There was never this much brilliance in r/risa.
Brb gotta figure out how to get this new odo/quark image out of my head. *unzips*
I find that starting with an apology makes people more receptive to corrections. I’m not really sorry for furthering knowledge, but the apology preface helps the knowledge go further.
But yeah, it is kind of crazy that it was still Shatner, but what’s most bizarre is that he let this common mistake persist for decades. I’m pretty sure I saw him talk about being the first interracial kiss at some convention or interview, and he never bothered to correct when they said it was in Star Trek. Most likely he simply forgot or never knew since it was a merely a clip of a play that was shown on Sullivan’s show.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but this oft-repeated piece of Trek trivia is not true.
The first interracial kiss on American television was William Shatner and France Nuyen (of Asian decent) on the Ed Sullivan show, which happened in 1958, nearly 9 full years before William Shatner kissed Barbara Luna on Star Trek (1967).
And the absolute world’s first interracial tv kiss was in the UK during either the broadcast of the film The Seekers (1954) or during a BBC presentation of the play Othello in 1955. It’s either/or because the actual air date of The Seekers is unknown.
Seriously, did no one here watch JJ Abram’s reboot in the Kevin timeline?
Chips - some potato, some corn.
Only song I know of his is the Ballad of Bilbo Baggins, and it friggin slaps. Are there any others that reach the same level?
All I thought was why is Michael Madsen in this?
Ha they sent me the same message, and while I was not booted as a mod, I led the protest effort in a few subs that I modded in and helped out over in Save3rdPartyApps. I didn’t delete my account, just went silent after resigning when other mods got cold feet as soon as it started to get real.
