Buck Owens - I've Got A Tiger By The Tail

By any chance, are you from Bakersfield? Because he used to own that town when he was alive. I'm surprised that place hasn't named a school in his honor.

Get it right and post the most famous version of "I Put A Spell on You."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82cdnAUvsw8

NBC made a Sesame Street like children's series back in the 70s called "That's Cat." John Sebastian performed the theme song. John Sebastian was most famous for writing and performing "Welcome Back", the theme to the sitcom "Welcome Back Kotter" which is where John Travolta first became famous.

The show featured a shit ton of famous 70s singer song writers, which is what helped it become so acclaimed. Even though "That's Cat" won Emmies, it was never released on home entertainment due to all music licensing issues involved. They played reruns of it on Saturday mornings back in the 80s before the cartoons would start. Then the 1985 fire at NBC studios destroyed all the master copies.

Not a single episode of "That's Cat" survives. A few short skits have appeared, but these were from film students who had their work aired on the show and who had uploaded it themselves. They are not the show proper featuring the hosts. The only hope left is that someone at home taped a rerun on VHS and uploads it. Or an NBC affiliate has a forgotten copy collecting dust.

Here is a video about it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LcAdVUbvIA

For years, people have begged John Sebastian to upload the theme song or at least live perform it, but he has refused citing "Copyright issues." Here is someone performing the theme to the best of his memory:

holy shit didnt realize it was 1993

I mean McGee from NCIS is in that movie as a teenager.

I was confused as fuck because I was expecting Mahalia Jackson, widely considered the greatest gospel vocalist of all time who has been dead for 50 years.

I remember a video that made the point that there are real underlying issues incels are facing, but the only people they can turn to are grifters and critics. The critics have a point, but they aren't really interested in giving solid advice, they just want to understandably prevent toxic behavior. The grifters have some solid advice, but it's buried under a ton of misogynistic bullshit with the goal to make money or promote a dangerous agenda.

This skit in a longer video sums it up:
https://youtu.be/be_Ms3nVG10?t=954

Actually, the whole video is pretty thought provoking. I don't agree with everything though since it ignores incels like Elliot Rogers who willingly blind themselves to good advice because they won't face the reality that their issues do not entitle them to sex.

To be fair to Zac Efron's movie, it wasn't the first time Ted Bundy was depicted as stunningly handsome. Mark Harmon (Gibbs in NCIS) played him in a TV movie back in the mid 80s, and they depicted women as falling all over themselves trying to help Bundy.

There was one near my old job in Los Angeles but they tore it down

Yah. Main reason they abandoned that style for the box was so they could put in drive thrus.

There also used to be Taco Bells that were only a kitchen and a window. You ordered and ate outside. If it rained, you were shit out of luck. You would then have to take your meal somewhere dry to eat.

I miss Taco Bell from the 70s and early 80s. Back when they made it look like a California mission and had stone benches. It didn't feel as corporate either.

if anything its more of a crazy journey that Jesus teachings lasted throughout all these centuries when his historical version seems to have started and ended without anywhere near such an accumulation of power

The key to Jesus' popularity was that his teachings were all written down even though it was 3rd and 4th hand information from after his death. Every other holy man or magus didn't have that luxury. It also meant his teachings could be spread far and wide to anyone who was literate. It was also gripping reading for the time period.

Another factor included Near Eastern religions such as Judaism becoming trendy within the Roman Empire at the time in the same way Asian philosophies are trendy in Hollywood today. Christianity had the lowest threshold for admittance as well as adherence - such as not having to be circumcised or having a special diet. Mithraism was Christianity's main competitor and it too was a Near Eastern religion with a low threshold for admittance.

Finally, Christianity targeted women, slaves, and the poor, who together made up the vast majority of the Roman Empire's population. Most religions at the time favored wealthy and powerful men. Christianity's early benefactors and leaders were wealthy Roman women. A lot of this was covered up by the later Church to make it's origins more reputable. But before that, Christianity was usually slandered by the Roman elite aware of them as being a religion of slaves and women.

Pocahontas was a literal child though

What the fuck

From:
https://allthatsinteresting.com/pocahontas

Though Smith is portrayed as Pocahontass love interest in the famous Disney movie, theres no evidence of any real-life romance between the two of them. In fact, Pocahontas was just 11 years old when she met him.

Growing up, Pocahontas dressed like other Powhatan children, which meant wearing minimal clothing. At a young age, she shaved most of her head. Among her people, only adult women could grow their hair long.

That would have gone over well in the Disney version.

If it's the song that I'm thinking of, that was a cover of a "New Radicals" song that didn't do very well. I love the song though. That and "The Cardigans" song "Carnival" were unfairly ignored.

This reminds me of a story I heard where a model did a few shoots in the large breast genre. Then she retired and posted a tweet calling her audience and other models she worked with a bunch of losers. She told them the only reason she modeled was to reach her goal of making enough for a breast reduction and that she'll finally be rid of her physical torment.

I mean, I'm way more qualified to call my coworkers losers than you are.

OK, I looked further into it and the name of the model was "Dors Feline".

It was a comic series, so take that as you will. It's also mentioned in this wiki. And now I see that it is Fanon.

Why did people feel Zelda needed a timeline but nobody cares about a Mario timeline?

IIRC Mario did have a timeline up until the early 2000s, but they retconned it by introducing Pauline to the modern games. The Mario in the Donkey Kong arcade games is the father of current Mario and Luigi. Also, the current Mario and Luigi had an ancestor named Jumpman who went to the Mushroom Kingdom and got married to a member of the royal family. They are his descendants so that means both have Mushroom Kingdom ancestry.

"Return of the Jedi" used Redwood National Park for the moon of Endor. IIRC, there are tours that will show you the parts of the park that served as a set.

Ah yeah I can see that. Still, I'd like to see this kind of style brought back and made to look better in motion more often.

Strawberry Shortcake is a strange case. She was originally a line of stationary and greeting cards done in watercolor that were sold in Hallmark stores. Then she got her own toys, with the cartoon being last.

There was another character franchise sold in Hallmark stores introduced around the same time named Holly Hobbie. She was a pioneer girl in the vain of Laura Ingalls from "Little House on the Prairie." She never got as big as Strawberry Shortcake did. Personally, I think it's her design since they never showed her face.

Redesigning Strawberry again, in yet another attempt to be "relatable" or something, is the actual offensive thing here.

I grew up with the first design, but I think the coolest design by far is the 2009 version. I like the design of the new character Bannoffee (I have a recipe for the pie I make for summer), though I wouldn't mind seeing her in the 2009 art style.

for those who don't know, there are mass protests in Iran, where the "morality police" killing a young woman for not wearing a hijab/wearing a hijab improperly was the tipping point:

The first woman to ever win a Fields medal was an Iranian mathematician. She died back in 2017 from a terminal disease. Her international reknown as a pioneering mathematician was so great that several Iranian newspapers and showed pictures of her without a hijab.

I wonder how much of an effect that had with what is occurring now. I'm not saying it was the catalyst.

Her name was Maryam Mirzakhani

I'm fairly sure she's running some other businesses on the side now, away from public eyes. She treated the whole thing like a business to begin with, and some people are still funding her on onlyfans I'm pretty sure

True. I remember an expose where it was shown through public records that she and her boyfriend trademarked the name as a company months before she debuted as Belle Delphine.

Hmmm, now where have I heard this from. Oh right.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drapetomania

Drapetomania was a supposed mental illness that, in 1851, American physician Samuel A. Cartwright hypothesized as the cause of enslaved Africans fleeing captivity.[1]: 41 This hypothesis centered around the belief that slavery was such an improvement upon the lives of slaves that only those suffering from some form of mental illness would wish to escape.[2][3]

The only reason your black friend probably thinks no black people ever said "yo" is because it dropped out of style 30 years ago. Off the top of my head there was "Yo! MTV Raps" and also the Kid n Play movies where Play says "Yo" every 10 minutes.

OTOH, if any black person is still using it often unironically, they are probably in their fifties. It's definitely slang from the New Jack Swing era.

He didn't get a girlfriend for a while. He eventually dated Betty Brant but I think at least a year went by before that happened.

Peter only started pulling a harem because of John Romita Sr. hopping onto the book. Most of Romita's experience came from working on Romance comics. He turned Spider-man into a Soap opera due to the artist being a part of Marvel's writing process.

Also, Human Torch in the comics independently also calls it "The Parker Luck". However, he considers it good luck since Peter has family, good looks, is a genius, and women constantly throw themselves at him.

I have seen rumors that Deadpool 3 is basically going to be Deadpool traveling through the multiverse/time injecting himself into MCU movies, if that ends up being the case you could see it there, doubtful but if there was going to be a movie that did it, thats the one I see it happening in.

That sounds like a VERY loose adaptation of "Deadpool kills the Marvel Universe."

Sam very much wanted to go home but never did.

I must of misunderstood the ending then. I thought Sam telling Beth to wait for Al created a paradox, meaning the two never met to create the Quantum Leap Project, which meant Sam no longer had a present to return to.

And rub salt in the wound by having it explained that's the REAL Thanos and not a robot, clone, etc.

I always felt that was revenge for Marvel retconning Squirrel Girl's win over Doom by saying it was a Doom bot. A lot of Marvel fans thought the retcon was sacrilege because she was Steve Ditko's final character he created for Marvel and her debut was one of the final issues he wrote for Marvel. Steve Ditko was the co-creator of Spider-man and the creator of Dr. Strange.

Class 100 for Hulk based on Marvel comic's own handbook. It basically means they won't attach a limit, the reader should suspend their disbelief for any strength feat he does. If Silver Age Superman was a Marvel character, he would be Class 100.

Sequel but has a new protagonist. The story is about trying to find Sam Beckett

Isn't Sam restricted to leaping within his own lifespan? Does Glenn have this same restriction or can he leap outside of his lifespan?

A lot of people expected Sam to go home I guess.

I liked it because Sam sacrificed ever going home for the sake of Al.

It reminds me of this old skit about the Seth McFarland formula:

No, I can see why someone would think it is boring. That cab scene. Woof.

I was disappointed in the movie because it took the primary theme of the book and pushed it into a 2 minute monologue rant. Tarkovsky was more interested in his spiritual themes that he introduced for the movie.

It's crazy how the public gives this guy so much shit but ignores Elon Musk and his 8 kids.

I voted "Saving Private Ryan" because ultimately it was just another war movie, and both Spielberg and Hanks outdid it anyway with the far superior "Band of Brothers" miniseries.

Have to go with the Bots Master theme, especially Ninjeez part.

Slimer from Ghostbusters is the ghost of Jim Belushi. Hogan was partying with him.

Kind of crazy to remember Robin Williams was there on the night Jim Belushi died. He died an hour after Williams left his suite and his body wasn't found until morning.

Something tells me the business wouldnt be viable cause it would cost soo much to order and the volume of orders would be very low.

The founders always knew the business wasn't viable outside of the gig economy. That's the whole point of the gig economy, to circumvent labor laws and unions. Might as well call it the scab economy.

Didn't the dude from Arcade Craniacs who came up with the phrase get accused of being a groomer and an abuser? I remember hearing about that in an InternetAjay video.

I vaguely remember a quote that went like "A society is lost when corruption and injustice spread from being values of the corrupt class to being universal values in all of society." I wish I knew the exact wording and who was the person that said it.

I've thought Richard Simmons was awesome ever since I was a kid. The dude was always positive and was willing to make fun of himself as long as it didn't involve also making fun of his fans. Too bad the younger generations won't know about him. It's legitimately sad that he's living his last years in pain and misery. He's earned his privacy.
