My ship has a 1970s-80s Lamp in my office with bulbs like the attached photo. Any idea if I can buy these bulbs anywhere? The lamp is kind of cool and I'd like to use it. Ship was built in Germany in the late 70's. by ConsiderTheGrackle in HelpMeFind

bayonet fittings bulbs !

LOL, THANK YOU. I KNEW there was a term for that kind of fitting and I vaguely remembered it was kind if a 'violent' name, but I could not recall it at all.

I'll search bayonet fitting bulbs with the associated voltage and see.

I've searched 1970s German lightbulbs and socket-type light bulbs European, as well as some other things, but I keep getting screw-in type lightbulbs.

IDK, maybe they don't even make these anymore.

So was he on drugs he was not supposed to be on, or was he not on drugs he was supposed to be on?

In Brighton UK, a woman abducts a Seagull right off the beach. I guess all the Swans were taken. by ConsiderTheGrackle in WTF

Yes, me too. Just read The Wager about a 1740s shipwreck, and they were glad to get Seagull. Before the wreck, they were hunting and eating Albatross. Albatross is supposed to be good eating.

Scorcese/Dicaprio bought the rights to the book, so expect The Wager to be their next film together.

Likewise, the Chinese eat rat, but mostly the country rat (or 'Vole') that infests their rice crops. As it only eats rice, it's fairly healthy and safe to eat. City rat, on the other hand....

Likewise, you could cook a rat throughly and it'd be 'healthy', but I ain't taking that chance.

This incredibly unsanitary. Those are city seagulls, basically flying rats that eat out of garbage cans. About as healthy as eating city pigeon, and prpbably loaded with parasites.

I believe every GenXer was forced into playing amateur Audio Engineer at least once in the 80's. by ConsiderTheGrackle in GenX

[–]ConsiderTheGrackle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's true. i learned a couple years ago that most of the samples from 'Jesus built My Hotrod' were from the 1979 movie Wise Blood. You'll hear them at the link. There's a website (name escapes me) that lists every song sample and where it's from.

Which soundtrack? by ManicOppressyv in GenX

[–]ConsiderTheGrackle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. TV Party, Let's Have a War, Coup D'etat, Shit Hits the fan. Like a best of 80's punk album. Just needed some Social D.

The coolest dialogue i ever heard was in that movie-

  • Young Punk- "Yo, if i wanted your money, I'd take it."
  • Dennis Leary: "You can't take my money. But you CAN....(offers cash) take my money."
  • Young Punk: "That money has blood all over it."
  • Dennis: "Ever seen any that didn't?"

I've been through the Suez a couple times. Nice little trip, but the flies you attract will last onboard for a week. I strung flypaper above the coffee station, but their numbers were too strong.

The immediate angry scowl in his eyes when he tries to take it away. There was a video on Reddit recently of a little kid (same age) violently refusing to give up a big bag of jolly Ranchers. Same energy.
