“You’re still sending a team, right Kim? I don’t want to judge, but you’ve been, ah, busy with those missile tests lately…”
“Trump! I know, right? He’s just got to make it all about him…”
(1/2 hour of venting about Trump later)
“Well, we can’t exactly shoot missiles at the Americans, they’ll whine to the IOC and we’ll lose the Olympics… heyyyyy, wanna host the Games together? That’ll totally fuck with their heads… no no, we’ll keep them here in Seoul, we’ve got everything set up already, but if it messes with that walking tangerine we will happily stand with the north…”
“Awesome. This is gonna be so great. You know Kim, we should talk more often.”
I mentioned dreamcatchers around a three year old so we began looking up information on them, and aparantly not only are they meant for all harm (not just the white people history approved version I knew) and used as sort of a mobile for infants. But it led me to poking around how the same figure gets translated across America which was aided by my girl liking spiders anyways.
There was, possibly still is, an orange-colored mouthwash from Listerine. Its shade of orange was distinct. I read the back because I’m always interested in what colors are bieng used. Right there at the bottom of the ingredients list was “cochineal.” I knew enough about Sir Joshua Reynolds to know what that was. So I stopped using it. I didn’t like the idea of rinsing my mouth with crushed bugs.
This one is difficult to explain. The 1962 film Jack the Giant Killer was a virtual replay of 1958’s The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad, same director, same actor as hero, same actor as villain, fairly similar plot structure. JtGK’s producers get sued by T7VoS’s producers which interferes with the re-release of Jack. After sitting on the shelf for roughly ten years, the film is partially re-dubbed as a musical and sold to TV.
Marvel!!! The original version couldn’t have been half as disturbing…
One of the least-known and best perks of Amazon is that you can use your leftover boxes to ship donations to local charities for free. Just go to GiveBackBox.com, click on the logo of the participating company you have a box sitting around from (like Amazon), type in your zip code and email address, and you’ll get a prepaid shipping label emailed to you. After you’ve filled the leftover box with your donations, attach the label and schedule a UPS pickup. It won’t cost you anything, and it’s an easy and ‘green’ solution.
Plus, GiveBackBox will email you a tax receipt for your records once your box is received.
The cite goes back to twitpic which is dead now, so i don’t know if this was explained there or what, but I’m wondering about what I’m seeing here.
Due to both the header and the parenthetical explanation of OMG, it seems logical that the page in the pic was a typewritten copy by Churchill’s staff for clarity and official record-keeping? Presumably Fisher would not have made a boldfaced header identifying himself and Churchill and if he was going to bother writing out “(Oh! My God!)” then why abbreviate it in the first place? It reads like an annotation for clarification.
It seems like, if this is true, it should be noted somewhere but neither Smithsonian nor Anorak say one way or the other and cite a source no longer viewable. This vexes me. Did Fisher’s original just say “O.M.G. — Shower it on the Admiralty!!” ? Was it handwritten? Or is this the original sent by Fisher? Maybe he dictated it and that’s why it looks like that? Maybe it was sent via wire and this pic is how the wire-service typed it up?
