Anyone have the variant with the pimp hat and cane twirling?

lol no way, I’m locked in like a tick. No way I’m switching to someplace with higher rent the way that the market’s going.

Not any specific one, no, more the variety. It’s not BO, so I don’t think that it could be the ‘dirty sock’ syndrome per se. I guess that it couldn’t hurt to crack them open and take a look at the evaporator coil, but they’re insulated with asbestos so I’ll have to be careful to not disturb it.

Explosion chamber? Big deal, my ass has one of those too.

Has been bugging me for decades, ever since I first played flight sims as a kid.

“Helmsman, evasive maneuvers pattern Delta-4.” * ship gently yaws 5° *

I know that there are knock-offs, and other cheap facsimiles out there. In fact, I can remember a specific style of plastic drinking glass that copied that pattern exactly in the early 90’s, although I only saw them a few times. Thinking about it, I couldn’t really tell the difference between the genuine article anymore than I could with most crystalware unless it were really obvious like the cheap pinwheel dishes/glasses.

Odd, I had no idea. I’ve seen glasses with this exact patterning a few times at second-hand stores over the years but passed them over.

RIP Mr. Yulin. I’ll be looking for him when I’m watching 80’s & 90’s TV and movies, he was a regular fixture in a pretty broad range of shows.

How am I going to rip on them until they have aneurysms if I’m not on there too?

Good Lord, you know that you’re a powerhouse of human vigour when even Montenegro takes notice and goes to the effort of granting you a war medal despite your enlistment in a foreign nation’s army.

The brains will help, but you still have my support all the same, for what it’s worth.

Trying to get shit done on the 'net with a 56K modem circa 1995 vs. trying to get shit done one the 'net but everything has been purposely turned into garbage that generates ad revenue even if you pay for it circa 2025.

No, not quite. No one benefits, and it’s not an inside joke. The analogy is that the gigantic bodybuilding nerd from Clockwork Orange is the outlier, and that the control is Alex. That’s it.

When I saw the original graph, I tried to think of any examples of mega-guidos that were also geniuses and remembered the scene from the movie with Dave Prowse in this role. It seemed to fit well, so I made the meme.

Yes, you might be surprised at how few meaningful results can be gleaned even when using exact titles in search queries. I’m not even talking about the ad results that appear at the top of the page now, even Google sometimes entirely fails to provide the desired results.

My bet is that it’s paywalled like a lot of academic studies. It’s likely out there, but best of luck to you nailing it down, I’ve been having a Hell of a time turning up worthwhile results with search engines for quite a while.

Not just an action movie star, he’s a smart cookie.

Unknown, but likely he’s the human form of Larry the Lobster with a PhD hanging on his wall.
