Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[Umbran]

Gotta say, if you gave me ten thousand choices for what the current topic on the Pineapple Express thread would be ...

I still would not have been able to guess that it would be .... checks notes ... checks notes again ... requests assistant to re-check notes for me .... checks notes .... yells at assistant ...

Bras.

Must.... resist... sociopolitical... commentary...

Bonus fun fact!

62% of all songs in the 1980s were actually about self-pleasure (numbers are approximate, but also completely true). Blister in the Sun? She Bop? Oh yeah! When you couldn't find someone to be your sledgehammer, you had to get creative.

And yet, Dancing With Myself is NOT one of them. According to Billy Idol. Of course, he also said that Pictures of Lily is about a photograph of some lily bulbs.

Let me guess... You're getting ready for a .... WHITE WEDDING!

Looking at Billy Idol and Adam Ant, today, makes me feel positively ancient.

Seeing Iggy Pop now makes me feel pre-embalmed. (He used to frequently perform at a local bar/club in Brampton.)

But not the lack of bras elsewhere in the galaxy far, far away.

I mean, Star Wars isn't exactly known for thinking through the implications of the technology it displays, but antigrav technology IS a Star Wars thing.

Not to mention the '80s also had Rnold Schwarzenegger as Onan the Barbarian.

Forget silent letters. I love INVISIBLE letters.
American examples:

The r in colonel
The second r in sherbet
The third i in mischievous
The p in Clemson

What other examples can you think of?


(The one that I immediately thought of, and was already in the comments, is the second "g" in orangutan)
But the "r" in Colonel is ... well, gotta love it.

I would also offer the misplaced letters: Nuclear, pronounced nucular.

OK, those people are just wrong anyway.

Hey. We add an f to lieutenant.

 

[Ryujin]

Hey. We add an f to lieutenant.

Well the other way sounds too... French.

Well the other way sounds too... French.

But which is the right lieutenant?
