I thought maybe it marked where one of those things that turned streetcars around used to be.

But, I couldn't figure why they'd be marked that way.

Plus, do streetcars have to turn around? They just stop and then go the other way don't they?

No, they have a turntable at the ends of each line. The car is turned by human power.

Today I learned about Operation: London Bridge.

xoxoxoBruce · 03-29-2017, 11:23 AM

Yeah, I read that. It's not if, but when, so have a plan.

Today I learned about The Vegetable Lamb of Tartary.

Gravdigr · 05-11-2017, 02:51 PM

Liquor and fast women?

xoxoxoBruce · 05-11-2017, 07:23 PM

A slow woman at this point, or I'd never catch her.

This is a handy bit of knowledge...

This memorable opening theme ran every Saturday morning from 1986-1991.

The vocal bit kicks in at 1:03... after a really nice interlude written by DEVO's Mark Mothersbaugh.

Now, who's the SINGER of that vocal?

Well it's Cyndi Lauper.

I Did Not Know That but it's one of those things where, once you know it.... oh sure! Hell it's so obvious!

I also had no idea, but Of Course it's Cyndi.

Wasn't the singer the voice of chairy as well?

Undertoad · 05-14-2017, 08:03 AM

IMDB says Chairry was "Alison Mork" who has a bunch of other IMDB credits.

I'm an old crone, I don't do none of that mobile app shit.... but thanks. I thought it was just the new computer the first time, but I'm back on the old one now (where I've never had problems with this sort of stuff before) and still nothing. However, while I wasn't playing with old computer, stupid windows updated to an even stupider version which I had also thought was just new computer, so I'mm'a blame that.
