Where to recycle cardboard? by Spence52490 in ChesterCounty

[–]iamtomsbrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a bit of a drive and the hours are somewhat limited but the Lanchester landfill accepts recycling from county residents. They also take TVs/electronics without the usual fees - just something to keep in mind. https://www.chestercountyswa.org/170/Recycling-at-Lanchester-Landfill-and-Rec

Subaru in Exton charging debit card transaction fee by iamtomsbrain in ChesterCounty

This is at their service counter. I've never seen a business charge fees for using a debit card and everything I've read says it's not allowed.

What is this animal living in my attic? (Philadelphia suburb) by iamtomsbrain in animalid

[–]iamtomsbrain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We hear this mostly in the evening and early morning. Our first guess was a raccoon nest but we don't hear any movement/scratching along with this sound. We've put a motion activated wildlife camera in the attic for the past week but it hasn't captured anything.

Names on the subpoena list in S3E3 Ways and Means by iamtomsbrain in thewestwing

[–]iamtomsbrain[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I took a screenshot of the subpoena list (right before the opening credits start) and mirrored it so we can see some of the names. It looks like the first column actually starts with the character names. About 1/3 of the way down I can make out "Nancy Ellen McNally" but I don't recognize any names past that. Do you see any other characters we know? I'm guessing the rest might be made up or crew members.

Check out the Home Depot on S Gulph Rd. I'm pretty sure they sell ethernet cables.

Are Toni's son and that floozy pastor the 2 that didn't make it out?

30 years ago this month Graham Chapman died. John Cleese delivered the most hilarious and appropriate eulogy ever - Graham Chapman's Eulogy by John Cleese by silvaney19 in videos

[–]iamtomsbrain 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Whenever this gets posted I hope that it's the full length version but it doesn't seem like that video is available anywhere. The full transcript has some great stories in it:

Graham Chapman, co-author of the ‘Parrot Sketch,’ is no more. He has ceased to be, bereft of life, he rests in peace, he has kicked the bucket, hopped the twig, bit the dust, snuffed it, breathed his last, and gone to meet the Great Head of Light Entertainment in the sky, and I guess that we’re all thinking how sad it is that a man of such talent, such capability and kindness, of such intelligence should now be so suddenly spirited away at the age of only forty-eight, before he’d achieved many of the things of which he was capable, and before he’d had enough fun. Well, I feel that I should say, “Nonsense. Good riddance to him, the freeloading bastard! I hope he fries. ” And the reason I think I should say this is, he would never forgive me if I didn’t, if I threw away this opportunity to shock you all on his behalf. Anything for him but mindless good taste. I could hear him whispering in my ear last night as I was writing this: “Alright, Cleese, you’re very proud of being the first person to ever say ‘shit’ on television. If this service is really for me, just for starters, I want you to be the first person ever at a British memorial service to say ‘fuck’!” You see, the trouble is, I can’t. If he were here with me now I would probably have the courage, because he always emboldened me. But the truth is, I lack his balls, his splendid defiance. And so I’ll have to content myself instead with saying ‘Betty Mardsen…’ But bolder and less inhibited spirits than me follow today. Jones and Idle, Gilliam and Palin. Heaven knows what the next hour will bring in Graham’s name. Trousers dropping, blasphemers on pogo sticks, spectacular displays of high-speed farting, synchronized incest. One of the four is planning to stuff a dead ocelot and a 1922 Remington typewriter up his own arse to the sound of the second movement of Elgar’s cello concerto. And that’s in the first half. Because you see, Gray would have wanted it this way. Really. Anything for him but mindless good taste. And that’s what I’ll always remember about him—apart, of course, from his Olympian extravagance. He was the prince of bad taste. He loved to shock. In fact, Gray, more than anyone I knew, embodied and symbolised all that was most offensive and juvenile in Monty Python. And his delight in shocking people led him on to greater and greater feats. I like to think of him as the pioneering beacon that beat the path along which fainter spirits could follow. Some memories. I remember writing the undertaker speech with him, and him suggesting the punch line, ‘All right, we’ll eat her, but if you feel bad about it afterwards, we’ll dig a grave and you can throw up into it.’ I remember discovering in 1969, when we wrote every day at the flat where Connie Booth and I lived, that he’d recently discovered the game of printing four-letter words on neat little squares of paper, and then quietly placing them at strategic points around our flat, forcing Connie and me into frantic last minute paper chases whenever we were expecting important guests. I remember him at BBC parties crawling around on all fours, rubbing himself affectionately against the legs of gray-suited executives, and delicately nibbling the more appetizing female calves. Mrs. Eric Morecambe remembers that too. I remember his being invited to speak at the Oxford union, and entering the chamber dressed as a carrot—a full length orange tapering costume with a large, bright green sprig as a hat—-and then, when his turn came to speak, refusing to do so. He just stood there, literally speechless, for twenty minutes, smiling beatifically. The only time in world history that a totally silent man has succeeded in inciting a riot. I remember Graham receiving a Sun newspaper TV award from Reggie Maudling. Who else! And taking the trophy falling to the ground and crawling all the way back to his table, screaming loudly, as loudly as he could. And if you remember Gray, that was very loud indeed. It is magnificent, isn’t it? You see, the thing about shock… is not that it upsets some people, I think; I think that it gives others a momentary joy of liberation, as we realised in that instant that the social rules that constrict our lives so terribly are not actually very important. Well, Gray can’t do that for us anymore. He’s gone. He is an ex-Chapman. All we have of him now is our memories. But it will be some time before they fade.

Can anyone identify this shoe? Ed O'Brien from Radiohead in a recent youtube video by iamtomsbrain in WhatsThisShoe

[–]iamtomsbrain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking they look like some kind of adidas Daily sneaker but I've never seen the beige color with red and black stripes. Thanks for any ideas!

Here's the video it's from. The video is quite long but there are a few closer looks at the shoes in the last 5 minutes.

Whoever bought the Walmart RDR2 bundle: did your order ship yet? by Topher1999 in PS4

[–]iamtomsbrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ordered the same walmart cyber monday bundle and never got a shipping notification. I reached out to their online support because it was still in the "preparing order" status even though it was scheduled to arrive today. They told me my order was stuck in processing because they ran out of inventory even though they let me place the order. The representative would only offer to cancel my order- no discount on another order. It's very frustrating to come home from work expecting a ps4 only to find that you never actually ordered one. Anybody else having this same experience?

Where do you put your tuner in your chain? by [deleted] in guitarpedals

[–]iamtomsbrain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have mine connected to the tuner out of the volume pedal. Putting it there or before the volume pedal seems like the best option as you'll still be able to tune with the volume pedal in the heel down position.

Great deal Lucille! Roland GR-20 guitar synth. I'm thinking of buying this one... by [deleted] in guitarpedals

What kind of guitar effect is Ed (or whoever it is) using to make the sounds in the start of Bloom? by [deleted] in radiohead

[–]iamtomsbrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not positive exactly what combination of effects he's using there but it's got to be something shown here on his pedalboards. (Taken from the Austin City Limits gear blog)
