Things you were shockingly old when you learned

I like "your meat, my veg". Using this from now on.

ym,mv

the word "veg" makes me Irrationally Angry except in the context of "to veg out", makes me think of how much I loathe Jamie Oliver

but hey, ymmv

yvmv

Varymite girl

your marmite, my vegemite

Give to me your leather, take from me my lace

MY veg not yours

Our veg, ourselves

For vegger and vegger,

Our Meat.

i'm class
you're ace
your meat
my veg

meat & two vegemitegrrrls

postcards from the veg

"Give to me your leather, take from me my lace" this is the fucking grossest line in pop music history, it makes me shiver. just to think of sweaty don henley in leather pants peeling stevie's lace panties off. ugh.

could be furniture & window dressings, you dont know

a yellowed lace curtain and an old family bible and sweaty don henley who cannot be written out of the scene

at first i thought ymmv stood for ‘you make me vomit’ which seemed highly dramatic when it appeared in mild discussions about posters’ differing experiences

haha

No you did not

I refuse to imagine it

I just realised that Yodas face is a caricature of Alec Guinness's. Is that well known?

Not only is it not well known, it's not true.

yes. it's common knowledge that yoda is obi-wan's father

I only recently learned that Gary Lewis is the son of Jerry Lewis. TBF, the music of Gary Lewis & the Playboys is not a thing I've ever had a conversation about with anyone ever so I'm not particularly surprised that his family ties have never come up.

Washington Redskins are not from Washington State.

For a long time, my wife thought the University of Connecticut sports teams (widely referred to as "UConn") came from Yukon.

a+

I'm certainly seeing a marked similaroty between the face of Yoda and that of Alec Guinnness.

noticed it even more in the backdrop they had in one section ofThe Galaxy Britain Built where it looked slike Alec Guiness's face looking out from Yoda's bdy.

I assumed the similarity was an in joke from the production team. I'm certainly seeing a great similarity around the eyes. I was just surprised when I saw it that I hadn't noticed it before.
I now can't find the picture they used in that programme but it was towards the end.
So was wondering if it was something that had been remarked on much before.
I can't unsee it now that I've noticed it.

dead ringers apart from the nose, eyes, chin, ears, color, shape of head and height

Alec Guinness rarely mangled his syntax as badly as Yoda.

Lol mookie

Spanish words ending in '_idad' are very often the same in English except you swap it with '-ity', so 'navidad/nativity, universidad/University. Therefore Trinidad is simply Trinity

So I guess in English we would say 'the drummer for gaeity'?

lol

ha

according to wikipedia

The make-up artist Stuart Freeborn based Yoda's face partly on his own and partly on Albert Einstein's

I finally looked up this week what TL:DR and TFW means.

Too lascivious; don't rub

I'm still really seeing that Froggy thing you see in Alec's face around the eyes.

The London Metropolitan Line no has no interior doors on its trains.
Didn't look as I sat down, proceeded to read, then realised i could see right down the train when I stood up to get off.

Guillermo and Benicio Del Toro aren't related

The more you know someone the more you're disappointed

The Lord of the Rings is not a trilogy

More of a trilogy than The Hobbit.

The lord of the rings is a trilogy

Don't even come back with the books as designed argument

At the very least, turning it into 3 movies that track with those three parts is totally defensible.

That 'Teddy Ruxpin' is an animatronic toy teddy bear, and not the name of US Senator or similar.

That "pickles" are made from cucumbers, and later that pickles can refer to any preserved in brine vegetable.

not quite a "shockingly old" answer but... first time i saw "PED XING" road signs i thought they must be chinese or something.
