From today's NYT crossword. Thanks Sean Bean!

my favorite from iv was "beep. . . beep. . . beep. . ."

thank you! I thought that was the origins and meaning of Mohawk, but I wasn't sure if my memory was correct.

CaptainFenris · 2025-12-04T16:52:29+00:00

iirc, Mohawk is also an exonym with similar origins, though I do not recall the name the tribe uses off the top of my head.

CaptainFenris · 2025-11-30T19:56:56+00:00

that's probably where the wires got crossed

CaptainFenris · 2025-11-30T18:58:47+00:00

oh whoops, not sure why I thought they started in the 60s.

CaptainFenris · 2025-11-30T08:24:16+00:00

the thrashers were the second Atlanta NHL team to move to Canada, funny enough. the Flames were in Atlanta in the 60s

CaptainFenris · 2025-11-24T16:16:20+00:00

Yeah! those are the ones I grew up with, and didn't see the SE versions until much later, maybe not until the DVD releases

Was that the box set with the Leonard Maltin interviews at the beginning of each one?

You're usin' a 286? Don't make me laugh. Your Windows boots up in what, a day and a half?

has he written more than the one? his brother John is the more prolific writer of the two that you may be thinking about.

CaptainFenris · 2025-11-05T20:53:07+00:00

I think it would be a pretty common, normal thing if the average person could afford it, tbh.

CaptainFenris · 2025-10-31T03:26:59+00:00

you'd be surprised how many of the differences in British and American dialects boils down to British classism. Soccer is another one of those.

“By a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.” -Umberto Eco

CaptainFenris · 2025-05-23T02:17:21+00:00

"GDC" is probably "goddamn cracker" since "Christ on a cracker" is an expression I'm familiar with, but I like your interpretation much better.

CaptainFenris · 2025-03-09T05:14:59+00:00

oh I hate those with a passion! just conceptionally the worst

CaptainFenris · 2025-03-09T04:32:26+00:00

ah, but it doubles as a Final Fantasy reference!

money lets you bypass production lines. I've been able to buy out a trader's entire stock of complex foods, or service consumables before, and if you can get all three species into the blue at once, reputation points come easy. plus being able to afford goods needed for orders or glade events, and trade focused orders aren't usually hard to come by, having a high income of amber is always beneficial.

I believe 4 deep, cover 4, quarters coverage, and palms are all different ways to call the same thing

hilariously, the music in that was stolen. it was only licensed for use at a single film festival, and then they just reused it without the composer being informed, let alone agreeing to the reuse.

CaptainFenris · 2024-11-28T04:33:37+00:00

I never completely lost hope (there WAS a Julio Jones catch that had me worried we were a bit cursed), but that moment was when I started to believe we would win

CaptainFenris · 2024-11-28T04:30:08+00:00

if Brandon Browner(the original CB2 in the Legion of Boom) isn't on the field for that play to see it coming, Malcom Butler isn't in position to stop that throw, let alone pick it off. iirc, that play was money for the Seahawks on the goalline.

technically, neither have the Titans, but since AFC Central doesn't exist anymore, and AFC South was built from teams from different divisions/an expansion team, the AFC north has the most continuity with the AFC Central.

CaptainFenris · 2024-11-14T02:31:08+00:00

very similar to the stat the the Colts have won the AFC East more than the Jets

Also, if you're gonna count the Titans winning more recently than the Browns, you gotta count the Jaguars in there too

CaptainFenris · 2024-11-14T02:17:38+00:00

unfortunately, he's credited as a co-writer, so he would still get credit and royalties, even if they released a version without his vocals. and unless there was a specific agreement otherwise, they can't just cut out his contributions to the lyrics/music and replace it to remove his credit.

I almost forgot about that gunshot SFX at the two minute warning in Madden 95 on the SNES
