Ehhh I think I'll give it a pass. I like redheads and all, but the last one I got from the Netherlands kinda did me wrong.TIL that @GasBandit plans to go to Breda, Netherlands the first weekend of every September

To be fair, I don't believe you can hang that entirely on "being from the Netherlands."Ehhh I think I'll give it a pass. I like redheads and all, but the last one I got from the Netherlands kinda did me wrong.
You'd be surprised how much you can hang on "being from the Netherlands." We're pretty crazy, you know, what with the whole 'living halfway below the ocean' and whatnot.To be fair, I don't believe you can hang that entirely on "being from the Netherlands."

And lately, it's Chinese tourists who have become the "Florida Man" of this phenomenon.we still get stories to this very day of people vandalizing sites like the Coliseum for their own amusement.
It sort of depends - and "lede" is new-ish.TIL It's "Bury the lede" NOT "Bury the lead."
Mind. Blown.
If you want to get really technical about it, it's "back" to LA. They played their first year in the Coliseum before moving to SD.TIL the Chargers moved to Los Angeles.
Most people don't even know "lede" is a word.TIL It's "Bury the lede" NOT "Bury the lead."
Which makes sense since it wasn't even in the Merriam-Webster dictionary until 2008, and it's only really used in a very specific context in the newspaper industry. Considering that's a dying industry, I wouldn't be surprised if that spelling means it gets dropped back out of the dictionary in a few decades.Most people don't even know "lede" is a word.
OH! I didn't recognize her or her name.@WasabiPoptart Eve Plumb, Jan from the Brady Bunch
But that name I knew from the old Batman series.Victor Buono
Nobody ever remembers the middle child.OH! I didn't recognize her or her name.
Electroluminescent products of that time period, on top of being expensive, were unreliable, dim, and prone to failure, particularly with repeated flexing. It was only in the 90's that companies overcame the brightness and flexibility issues enough to consider regular use in clothing, and even then they were expensive. Now they're cheap, bright, and reliable.Or EL wire, which would've probably been expensive in the early 80s (though it's been around since 1936).
I figured it was reflective tape also, like what John Carpenter used to create the "wireframe" CGI of Manhattan in Escape From New York.TIL the circuitry in the original Tron costumes was hand-rotoscoped onto each frame. I always assumed it was some kind of camera and lighting + reflective tape deal. Especially since it seems to kind of wink out when they turn from the camera. Or EL wire, which would've probably been expensive in the early 80s (though it's been around since 1936).
Back in the days when it was cheaper to build a model than to do it in CGI. Ah, nostalgia.I figured it was reflective tape also, like what John Carpenter used to create the "wireframe" CGI of Manhattan in Escape From New York.
Especially since they already needed the model for other shots and there basically was no such thing as CGI. I mean, Escape from New York was made in 1980, the best computer around was like, what, a Commodore 128?Back in the days when it was cheaper to build a model than to do it in CGI. Ah, nostalgia.

No, even an Apple II+ could've done it, but the time it would've taken to program and animate it? Ugh.Especially since they already needed the model for other shots and there basically was no such thing as CGI.

Is there less dialogue? Or more?TIL-they made a sequel to Rurouni Kenshin, because WHY not?!
Pretty average Shonen amount I'd say. Art is really crisp I'll give it that, but of course I can't help be cynical of its existence when we live in-THE AGE OF NOSTALGIA!Is there less dialogue? Or more?
This is very important.
