The running back from the Los Angeles Stallions who pulls out a gun and shoots the defenders on the way to the end zone before shooting himself ("Ain't life a bitch?) in the beginning of The Last Boy Scout was played by Billy Blanks of Tae-Bo fame.*

* I didn't know if that was common knowledge. I just learned this.

Bobby Brown's "Humpin' Around" samples Led Zeppelin.

Posted: **Thu Jan 30, 2020 10:52 am**

I didn't know that either!

[+] spoiler: I tried to guess before looking it up, and When the Levee Breaks is wrong. Now that I know the answer I can definitely hear it.

I didn't know that, but knew it as soon as mister d posted it.

Is it the riff that goes with the line, "get up off my back"?

You can imagine how big he is here in Toronto. 2 nights at the Scotiabank Arena (where the Raps play).

TIL The Weeknd is Canadian.

TIL brian can't feel his face when he's with you. And he likes it.

This song is a banger.

Does that mean they're going to come back and beat Spain at the end of the year? #playoffcomeback #90sclassics #footballjokes #gettlemanwasascoutforthatteamandmyfriendwholivedacrossthestreetsdadwasanisveryclosetohimtothepointtheycallhimtheiruncle

Journey never had a number one hit.

(Open Arms peaked at two, and got stuck there for six weeks behind Centerfold and I Love Rock and Roll. #80sOn8)

Shouldn't it be at the cottages up north? Or is that only for long Weeknds?

This belongs in the shit that makes you feel old thread, cuz it reminds me of bad, cheesy 80s music. I guess that’s the artist’s point though.

Bruno Mars is basically just AI developing a present day Michael Jackson / Bobby Brown.

And Greta Van Fleet’s purpose is to game streaming music platforms into being the next track cuz a listener likes Led Zeppelin.

We are so through the looking glass.

My brother-in-law lives not too far from where my wife (and family) lived before moving 40 minutes up the Hudson in middle school. Anyway learned that for a very short period of time my father-in-law (SSI/Disability attorney) was the owner of this establishment due to a Lien he placed on it. Sounded like it was for more than a few days.

I never thought much about the topic, but I had no idea that when cars were stolen from my area they're often shipped out of Newark to other continents. Then I googled to read about it and found the most dramatic dude in history.

God damn, I just posted about how I worked on criminal case bringing down a guy who ran a car theft ring out of Port Newark shipping cars to Haiti. I don't know why I bother...

Not the easiest connection to make?

(Also, that's pretty damn cool - you have way better lawyer stories than I ever will)

So glad there were two of these the first time I saw them because I had to read it twice to figure out what was going on, and only figured it out then by context (they were outside a funeral home).

Last Responders! Holy shit!

TIL that a part of Delaware is in New Jersey.

https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/new-jer ... re-border/

Why did they do that? That's a bad job by Jersey there.

From the article:

It’s one of those really unique things about New Jersey that they don’t teach in schools, or at least not in mine.

Why the fuck are they not teaching this in New Jersey schools? Embarrassment, probably.

I can't even picture what Delaware (the state, not the mister) would look like in person.

If Delaware were a person it would be a middle aged white dad.

Probably preferable to how I picture Texas

There is an NBA player named David Duke Jr.

(And no, he's not what you think.)

Posted: **Fri Dec 17, 2021 10:48 am**

Yup, Providence. I'm sure there's a desire to own your own name, but its still kinda crazy he doesn't go by Dave or DJ or literally anything else.

Why should he change his name? It's the other one that sucks.

Posted: **Fri Dec 17, 2021 10:52 am**

He already changed it once from David Duke University

I dunno, they get to own Lewes and Rehobeth beaches... Maybe a middle-aged white dad with a Corvette?
