    I miss the rains down in Africa.

    Such a beautiful idea; after a long, parched stretch of time where you aren’t sure if your water supply will last you long enough to survive, the sky opens up and the rains finally fall. Your saved!

    What the heck does blessing the rains do? Extra damage against the undead?

        I’d like to say this to singers…

        No, maybe you wrote this in your lyrics sheet and planned to say it. But…what you actually said in the song was…

        I remember being in a hotel once, and scrolling through channels and saw a concert channel playing a Bruce Springsteen show. And he’s sitting at the piano doing a little monologue about the song, and he doesn’t say douche, but refers to a cover (the Manfred Mann version) and it using “feminine products” instead of deuce, which is what he wrote.

        I don’t know what Manfred said, but even the Boss thinks he said douche.

          they essentially strip the official subtitles of any fuckery or mistranslations rather than reworking from the ground up, so its more like a hybrid of official and fan subtitles. HorribleSubs did this for many years before them, so a lot of their work is out there too.

          I’m reaching a point where I’m exclusively watching dubbed. It’s gotten better in the past decade now that anime companies have a bigger budget to hire better trained voice actors.

          Frieren and Delicious in Dungeon English VAs are amazingly spot on.

          The original VAs dont speak my language. Why even have sound if I’m not going to understand what they say.

    I always heard the lyrics to Cake’s I want a girl as “ I want a girl with the right eye locations”. Seems reasonable enough, nobody wants to date Sloth from the Goonies. And then one day a girl I was talking to told me it was “the right allocations” like measurements, and I’m not sure if I’ve ever felt dumber.

    Someone I know misheard “Tenth Avenue Freestyle” as “Tell the devil you freestyle” and honestly that’s a much more interesting song.

    “I’ve met a man with too many faces” sounds like three times cooler than “I’m not a man of too many faces”.

    I heard “carved my name into his legacy” instead of “leather seats” in Before He Cheats.

    Liked the idea that the truck was this bozos legacy. Considering the line prior is “I dug my key into the side of his pretty little souped up four wheel drive” - I thought she keyed her name into the side and that sounded awesome.

      Yeah! That was so metal! It also made me think she keyed her name into the side of the truck, which would be much more visible.

    i misheard lady gaga’s bad romance the first few times. “want you in my rear window, baby, you’re sick;” came across to me as “while in morrowind, your baby is sick.” thought it was a commentary of some sorts lmao.

      It’s the ash storms, babies drop like flies in that kind of weather. Probably why you don’t see any kids in Vvardenfell is because they get stored away somewhere keep them safe from ash, blight, and disease carrying imperials

        How old do you think Dunmer are before they get the face wrinkles? Maybe they hide their infants because they all look like charcoal raisins?

          They do look the way they do because the Tribunal are assholes who got them all cursed. So I like it, they’ve made peace with their faces but never the shame of having super ugly babies so they all get hidden away

    Don’t go chasing waterfalls, stick to the rivers and “straits” your used to

    Which makes so much more sense. Why would you say “lakes”. You already said river, which is a moving body of water. Why are we changing it from a moving body of water to a non-moving one? Isn’t it supposed to be a metaphor for not being able to chase a water fall because it’s impossible. But you can follow a strait or river, which is just another progression of life. Lakes have no progress. And yes I consider a passage way for water progression.
