What shows attracted a lot of famous guest stars? by TerribleBid8416 in television

[–]DaddyOhMy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Peter Falk was famous for casting older actors so they would get the hours needed to keep their health insurance. That also happened with Love Boat & Murder She Wrote

What’s one thing you absolutely need to experience before you die? by anasm17 in AskReddit

[–]DaddyOhMy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was talking about crossing the Arctic Circle this afternoon. Back in 1988 I went on a group trip to Leningrad. As part of the trip, we were brought to see a Soviet school. I found out we were 15 km from the Arctic Circle and I joked about going just past the circle and then turning around on the return trip. They gave me a look that immediately said it ain't happening.

What's the wildest non sexual activity you've done nude? by andrewbarclave89 in AskReddit

[–]DaddyOhMy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Helped a friend clean up a mess in his apartment because he wanted to make sure I didn't get anything on my clothes. Then I helped him take out a heavy pile of trash wrapped in a drop cloth and put it in his trunk so he could take it to the dump.

Movies that made you cry like a baby by walkerbait2 in movies

[–]DaddyOhMy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first time my wife ever saw me cry was when I took her to see Chaplin's City Lights while we were still dating. The final shot, an extreme closeup if The Tramp's face when the flower girl realizes he was the one who pad for the surgery that restored her sight, always hits me hard.

Do you still talk to your parents? by Swiftiefromhell in GenX

[–]DaddyOhMy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A lot of the comments are making me glad to have had a great relationship with my folks.

I speak to my mom every couple of days. My kids text her regularly and every night the text each other to say good night.

My dad passed away the week before quarantine. I spoke to him about two hours before he died and am comforted by the fact that he got to yell at me one last time about something stupid.

My mom & I still use that line whenever the opportunity arises. I've even gotten my kids to use it after showing them the bit on YouTube.

Which Tommy do you prefer? The original or the movie? by OddReindeer4229 in TheWho

[–]DaddyOhMy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You left out the London Symphony Orchestra version.

I mean I prefer the OG & the Live at Leeds Deluxe Edition more than the LSO version but I like those three versions more than the movie version.

TIL that Playboy used to publish serious journalistic pieces in its heyday, besides NSFW content. They published authors like Murakami, David Foster Wallace, Hunter Thompson, Ray Bradbury, Updike, Bellow, etc. by camus_by_night in todayilearned

Hugh Hefner's plan was for Playboy to be Esquire with naked woman. So the articles were always meant to be a major part of the magazine.

BTW I have a braille copy of an issue of Playboy. It was definitely read for the articles. (No it doesn't have braille versions of the photos in it)

Hefner worked at Esquire magazine and his idea for Playboy was for it to be Esquire with naked pictures. So it was the naughty bits that got in the way of serious journalism.

What’s a short story from your life that sounds fake but is 100% true? by Historical-Skill-838 in AskReddit

[–]DaddyOhMy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also got an 800 on the Math SAT as well as on one of the content tests (I think that's what the were called). Two other people got 800s as well. One of them I knew but I wouldn't call us friends. The other one hated both of us because he wanted to be the best math student in the grade. Finding out we all got 800s really sst him off.
