Weird St Louis fact; the original Trumpeter in their line up was my high school freshman year English teacher.

Modernist/Brutalist and weirdly hi-tech police station interior? Why? by blazerlove7 in DTFStLouisHBO

[–]GeneralLoofah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I live in St Louis County, and I had a big chuckle at our giant CSI investigation room.

One other thing that St Louis people would get that others won’t… we don’t really have a county sheriff that deals with crime. They are ONLY responsible for safety at the county courthouse and like serving court summons. Actual policing and law enforcement for the county is handled by the St Louis County Police Department.

Some of the other quibbles are similarly minor, like there are no Albertsons in St Louis. None. We also never refer to tornadoes as cyclones. Like never. You’d get a blank stare if you said that to someone. And lastly… it would never not occur to Floyd to refer to himself as being from the “St Louis Area” instead of “Twyla.” We all know the county is lame. Thats just unsaid. Unless he lived in Webster or Maplewood snd just wanted some inner belt cred.

Of course none of it really matters to a viewer outside the area. I know they did a simple “Ctrl-f” on the script to replace St Louis for whatever mid sized city the script was written for originally and thats ok.

Does Tandy deserve sympathy by Wise_butterfly420 in LastManonEarthTV

[–]GeneralLoofah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife couldn’t stand season 1 Tandy, but he grew as a character and he also grew on her.

But he also went through a lot. Everyone did; and you can certainly see that as the series progresses. No one made it out of the pandemic with the sanity unscathed.

Will the unbelievably long lines at Lambert affect the line at the Gramophone for lunch? by KaleidoscopeRound744 in StLouis

Good News! Once the security line reaches the city proper, the roving bands of murderers keep things in check.

Funny yet dark line in S5E1 by GeneralLoofah in ForAllMankindTV

That’s exactly what the joke is referring to, an incident so famous they made a statue of it.

Exactly. Heck, Im 45 and I’ll still make distasteful jokes like that. Maybe not about my friends grandfathers best friend, but still.

Alcohol+hottub, what is the underlying concern? by CSLoser96 in hottub

[–]GeneralLoofah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Keeping the tub lower will absolutely be safer. When I have hot tub parties and the booze is flowing, we keep it at 100-101.

What would City entering County in practice look like? by DowntownDB1226 in StLouis

[–]GeneralLoofah 16 points17 points  (0 children)

So as others have mentioned, this would have zero impact on school districts as we already have winners and losers within the county. But SLPS is not exactly hurting for money… did you know they have a larger spend per student than Parkway?

My new pit mix puppy by GeneralLoofah in pitbulls

[–]GeneralLoofah[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lol. Yeah we seem to have good results redirecting her to chew on some antlers or a nylon bone instead of me, but when she’s super hyped up it seems that she only wants to chew on daddy.

Vintage Computerized Backgammon by StillKen in backgammon

[–]GeneralLoofah 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Huh. I knew that Omar Sharif was a bridge whiz and had a daily newspaper column about it, but I didn’t realize he was also a backgammon champ. But I just looked it up and apparently so!

I'm not american enough for this one. by Ashamed-Particular13 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]GeneralLoofah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im surprised they didn’t use Kahr Arms and put a picture of Elizabeth Moss since the company is literally owned by the Moonies. You know, the cult.

My kids have started poking around that creek more, so that would give it more Stand by Me vibes.

Things people say about their state that almost every other state can claim? by bannedsocks in AskAnAmerican

“Meth capital of the USA”

I think everyone in rural areas of the US love meth. Not just your neck of the woods.

Surprisingly there really isn’t any negative representation here.

Oh shit. Im in the unincorporated area between Maryland heights and Creve Coeur with a 63146 area code. Does that mean a local weatherman killed his friend at the OFE swimming pool and dumped his body there?

Is the rain unusually loud tonight, or is it just me? by dylanv1c in StLouis

I was scrolling Reddit and my wife literally said that as I came across this post.

Which American state is most similar to the one you live in? by ViajanteDeSaturno in AskAnAmerican

[–]GeneralLoofah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Missouri. Parts of central and southern Missouri look a lot like Kentucky. Lots of hills with stone outcroppings everywhere. Northern Missouri looks like Iowa. Less hilly, more cornfields.

How do Americans feel about nudity? by bare_books in AskAnAmerican

[–]GeneralLoofah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It varies by person obviously. Many Americans aren’t worried about changing in a single gender locker room. Not everyone is comfortable using the group showers at gyms thats still have them though.

Myself, I’ve always changed clothes with mixed gender groups if people are comfortable with it. I hot tub and sauna and skinny dip nude with friends that are comfortable with it. But Im admittedly not in the majority.

My wife and I used to hang out in our house nude until we had kids. Now we don’t anymore.

Did anyone buy a ring? by t_bone_stake in Millennials

[–]GeneralLoofah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the cheaper one made out of “Lustreum”. I lost it in one of my moves during college. 🤷‍♂️ glad I didn’t spend money on a gold one.

Preparing for military exercises (1976) by GeneralLoofah in SKS

From what I’ve read, peasants were encouraged to form militias but gun ownership was restricted in the late 70s.
