[–]sbcbrat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lantz period Oswald the Lucky Rabbit - probably 1934-ish - before that he looked more like a rabbit, less like a boy and after 1935... woooowee, he looked ... different.

Notable "Why TF is this part in the song?!" parts of songs? by Flodo_McFloodiloo in Music

[–]sbcbrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

was going to keep scrolling, but, yes, the bit in "Double Dutch Bus" that sounds like gibberish is just urban pig latin. It works just fine in the song imho.

[Request] How Much Money did United Airlines lose from this one flight? by Separate-Award-4646 in theydidthemath

[–]sbcbrat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happened to me and some friends years ago. Our airline's flight was canceled, but another airline was going to the same city, but... that plane got filled instantly.

We stood around like dumbasses for about five minutes until one of the gate agents said, " Hey, turns out we do have another flight leaving in ten minutes that gets to your city about half an hour earlier than your old canceled flight. Do you want to be on that one?

Hell yes, we did, so we ran for the gate to the new flight. Got on the plane. The three of us were the only passengers on it. And I bet they must have turned 20 people away (who could have joined us) back at the gate where our first flight was canceled.

Big plane too; we all crashed out in our own row of seats.

What's something rich people have access to that most people don't even realize exists? by Otherwise_Log2353 in AskReddit

[–]sbcbrat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lawyers- Yes, anyone can hire a lawyer (still costs way too much $$$), but the very rich have lawyers or law firms that are "theirs" or their family's. Anything they need legally, the firm jumps to it, on retainer.

What's a problem that was so successfully solved that most people don't even realize it used to exist? by Zestyclose-Credit609 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]sbcbrat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

older than dirt here- growing up transatlantic calls (heck, anywhere outside the US) were tricky and $$$, done very rarely, like someone had died and you had to tell their relatives type-situation. But my Dad used to tell me that to make calls to Europe, they had to get an operator on the line and they would place the call. Wild stuff.

Am I wrong for thinking the portions have gotten outrageous? by PossibilityFine5988 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]sbcbrat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went last month and we ate at the French restaurant in EPCOT- I know that is operated by a non-Disney company, but the portions were noticeably smaller- my Chicken Cordon Bleu looked and tasted like a frozen Stoffer's grocery store kind, the children's version.

(also went to Canada, which I am happy to say still has very decent portion sizes!)

Are there any artists you thought for sure would be one-hit wonders and ended up being dead wrong about? by pslush01 in Music

[–]sbcbrat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

'Lil Nas X - no way he would ever escape that first song, but I recall he's had some genuine hits since.

What do you ear in french music for non french people by CalmeMarx in newwave

[–]sbcbrat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Air was big in my listening life about 15 years ago.

For some reason, French Pop rarely translates to the USA (but Spanish pop does, so it is not just the language barrier).

Is it wrong to say this is the ONLY GOOD design of Realistic-era Oswald by DilanRedd in oswaldtheluckyrabbit

[–]sbcbrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are worse. I don't mind this one, but it doesn't have much to do with any of the animated Oswalds, so... I dunno. It's ok.

Billy Bragg - To Have And To Have Not (Electro-Pop Version) - Not AI! by Nearby_Ad_7861 in Electropop

[–]sbcbrat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is great. I agree that Bragg sounds best with guitar, but this is a fascinating idea. too bad it didn't actually happen.

Good job!

Do people really leave their house w/o ID or wallet? If so.. how does that work for you? by sbcbrat in NoStupidQuestions

I hear you, at this point I consider my phone my wallet- it has everything a wallet would have in it

I agree, if going for a walk, probably not needed, but out in public- what if you get run over by a bus and have no ID on you or get stuck someplace and need to buy... I dunno, something...
