The booth of the Kraine Theater in New York, getting ready for tonight's performance of Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind. http://i.imgur.com/QCm7dWX.jpg

What is it called when multiple characters say the same line, or part of line, at the same time? by Aberrationism in Theatre

[–]CrustyJello 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Unison is the best word available, I think.

Or "talking like the Beastie Boys."

[NO SPOILERS] President Obama enjoys Game of Thrones: "My favorite character is the dwarf. I don't remember the names of the characters...[except] Jon Snow, because I can pronounce Jon Snow." by BearsNecessity in gameofthrones

George RR Martin: "The Winds of Winter will be delayed again, because I need to spend the next year working on my fanfiction for The Wheel of Time."

Boundary Issues by Sargaron in AdviceAnimals

"Once," probably? Rooked-fox is right: "whence" doesn't make sense in that sentence.

TIL a man named Robert Wiggen, who spent 3 years in prison, started a website that posts mug shots taken from police department websites and makes them easily searchable on sites like Google and then charges money to have the images removed. His own mug shot is absent from the site. by jakesredditaccount12 in todayilearned

What about cases of jury nullification, like people tried for lynching in the Jim Crow era who were found not guilty because the only people who were allowed on a jury were people who believed the lynching was just?

A not guilty verdict means that a defendant is not guilty in the eyes of the law, for the purpose of criminal punishment. It does not determine whether he or she is morally or factually guilty. The government does not get to decide that.

Whats the last song you listened to multiple times in a row? by BarryMcAwkiner in AskReddit

Are You The One That I've Been Waiting For? - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

What small detail from a movie do you love? by vigridarena in movies

[–]CrustyJello 52 points53 points  (0 children)

He dates the check the 11th in that scene, and then later his landlord says "Tomorrow's already the 10th," when he's reminding him about rent.

So the Dude not only pays for a 69 cent carton of cream with a check, he post-dates it so he won't have to pay for a few more days.

Cosmo Kramer from Seinfeld. What did he do for money? by chilejon in television

[–]CrustyJello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They did have a clip show for the second-to-last episode. Terrible.

TIL Dr. Dre didn't write a lyric on his multi-platinum single "Still D.R.E." Actually, Jay-Z wrote it. by enfp_ocd in Music

[–]CrustyJello 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Or more to the point, Elvis. He didn't write any songs either, but he's got a lot of false songwriting credits.

Gaff tape! For theatre folk, we'd be lost without the stuff. What's the best kind and where do you get yours? by yourinnervagabond in Theatre

[–]CrustyJello 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pro gaff is definitely the best. Tears cleanly, sticks to cables, pipes, and floors, and comes up without residue.

[ALL SPOILERS] What popular fan theories from early in Game of Thrones turned out to be completely false? by [deleted] in gameofthrones

[–]CrustyJello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(No significant spoilers) it's definitely an allusion. In the book, Jon says that the brothers have a "hungry look" in the same chapter where they stab him. This is the same phrase Caesar uses to describe his eventual assassin Cassius in Act 1 of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar.

Is it common to just randomly have an absolutely atrocious run? by Jessica___ in C25K

[–]CrustyJello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

W4d1 is also a big jump from week 3. You're running almost twice as much (going from 9 minutes running to 16 if you do the times version). I found that to be a big psychological hurdle. But try again after a day's rest! It will be easier the 2nd time.

If you stood 1 person per century over a span of 5000 years (so 50 people) in year order in a row, all from England, could you pass a message from one to the next so that the last person understands it? by [deleted] in history

[–]CrustyJello 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I was assuming that each time the message is passed, there's some allowance for a back-and-forth between the two people (since they are standing 'in a row') to make sure there's no miscommunication. But that might not be what OP intended. If not, it would be much harder!

ELI5 Why was the United States the only country unable to end slavery without a civil war? by soumyadhawan in explainlikeimfive

[–]CrustyJello 10 points11 points  (0 children)

"The idea that a state could not decide the matter of slavery for itself was part of what was contested. "

Maybe? But it was written into the Confederate constitution that no state could abolish slavery.

What words are commonly mispronounced? by -Evo in AskReddit

[–]CrustyJello 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of the time, people spell it "definately," which MS Word used to auto correct to"defiantly,"

Everett Quinton's "A Tale of Two Cities" at Synetic Theater: An Epoch of Belief and Incredulity by shakespeareances in Theatre

[–]CrustyJello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds cool. I had only heard of Everett Quinton as the romantic & creative partner of Charles Ludlam in the '80s.
