Where is the Random Thread of Randomness stuff that doesn't belong in other threads thread?



Someone should write an alternate history/future story where we solve all the world's problems with break dance battles.

(srsly, I don't know why youtube put this in my recommends, but OK)
 
^ Back then, break dance battles would be going on in one church basement or Masonic hall, and a few blocks away, drag balls and vogue battles would be going on at the same time... and here we are today...



 
I'M NOT CRYING, YOU'RE CRYING.

Reincarnation is always up, isn't it? I feel like whichever god has reincarnation should sometimes be like: "You've been a human quite a few times now and you don't seem to be getting it. I think I'll give you a break and let you come back as a dog or a cat for a change."

That just reminded me of the Friends Thanksgiving episode where Joey is sad that he doesn't remember his past lives like Phoebe remembers hers...

So. I lived North of San Diego between 2000 and 2002. Some weekends I'd drive up to LA to be a tourist. Disneyland. The studios. They used 9/11 as an excuse to stop doing Paramount studio tours and never restarted them, but I did some others and the Warner Brother's tour was the most expensive but the least tourist. It started in a museum. Brando's Jor-El costume from "Superman." Sam's piano from "Casablanca." Eastwood's Gunny Highway service alphas from "Heartbreak Ridge." That sort of thing. We got to see the back lot and the courthouse steps from the Adam West "Batman" series. "Dukes of Hazzard" and/or "Gilmore Girls" locations. (A lot of Dukes stuff got reused for GG.) An exterior for "E.R.". But we also got to see the "FRIENDS" soundstage. They were on hiatus but we got to see the 2 apartment sets. (I'm 99% sure they didn't have the Central Perk set up.) It's trippy, because when you watch the show you think "no way 20somethings could afford an apartment that big in NYC" but when you actually see the sets in person, they're freaking tiny. The whole "the camera ads 10#" thing must apply to sets too.

But I guess the reason I replied to this was the flat grape/eggplant of Monica's apartment. I'm thinking about if you'd use that flat of a color on an apartment--or that purple--and sure, I guess. Why not. I like alcohol. Probably too much.
 
The Universal tour is very touristy. Drive around on trams. Drive through the Mel Brooks Red Sea set that was in the "A-Team" pilot, go past the Psycho house (it's a forced perspective scale model IIRC), Amity harbor/Cabot's Cove (from Murder, She Wrote) complete with a big robotic Jaws shark. Jim Carrey Grinch sets, ET rides. I don't regret going, and it was a lot cheaper, but the WB tour was much better.

Oh, and the Paramount Studios are the last big studio still in Hollywood proper and while I didn't get to tour them, while driving around near them I did see the Troma Films studio. It's basically a house. I kind of suspect if I'd knocked on the door they'd have given me a tour for free.

So you drank sewer water and horse piss? I used to do that too until I discovered craft beers and IPAs.
