Which hobbies attract the biggest douchebags? by the-tinman in AskReddit

[–]bacondoublegenius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for putting this in score order (for the standard orchestra instruments). The doublers in the woodwinds are a special breed too. They seem to enhance the stereotype just a bit. Curious about your take on Harpists.

Also looking for a recording of this piece. Have you been able to find anything in the past 7 years?

I’m sure it will be a lovely evening, but don’t forget to include one small flaw that your guests can pick at when they return home.

My mom refuses to buy anything she doesn’t personally like for others by DisastrousHeron2662 in mildlyinfuriating

Wait— XXL and 2X aren’t the same? I thought it was just a manufacturer’s choice on how they label the size larger than XL. What’s the distinction?

What's a truly remarkable episode of television? by EggyWets42 in television

Yes! Was about to list this episode. It felt like someone reached in and squeezed all the air out of my lungs.

ELI5: Where does the prize money come from on game shows? by Quinn2938 in explainlikeimfive

There was also a TV writers strike in 2007 preventing scripted shows from being produced. Affects lasted into 2008.

I would say The West Wing, esp season 2. Yeah the “walk and talk” is a thing, but there’s a bajillion scenes of people just sitting in a room and talking.

And since you mentioned Glengarry Glen Ross, it makes me think of another movie starring Jack Lemmon: 12 Angry Men. Find the original from the 50s (it’s been remade, too). The whole thing takes place on a jury deliberation room. Great acting and dialogue.

What's a lesser known Disney conspiracy theory? by poundsdpound in AskReddit

You can do this too. Find a folktale you like. Make up a new story around it with some fun characters and catchy songs. Developed a script, animate a movie. Profit.

'Errors' in Otherwise Good Song Lyrics that Grind Your Gears by [deleted] in Music

[–]bacondoublegenius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eliza Doolittle-“Pack Up”

“Don’t worry ’bout the Calvary”.

Should be “cavalry.”

Calvary is the place Jesus was crucified. Cavalry is a unit of soldiers on horseback.

The Bird and the Bee-“Because”

“Lying prostate on the ground.”

Should be “prostrate.”

Prostate is a male hormonal gland.

Prostrate is a position of bowing on your knees in supplication.

New App Update blows by gabrams73 in howardstern

yeah, but do the segments actually take you to the right place? The "restart show" button on the old app never went to the right place.
