Especially because tuxedos don’t really have tails. But penguins have no fashion sense, so what are you gonna do?
For my own contribution, I currently have Simon and Garfunkel playing in loop mode on my Amazon Echo. Every time it plays “The Underground Poet” (a thrilling tale of a graffiti vandal on the subway), the songwriter mentions that the “artist’s” medium is a colored crayon. Wouldn’t a can of spray paint be more effective?
TIL, a tuxedo with tails is called a “tailcoat” or a “full dress tailcoat.” But the look is quite different from the standard tuxedo. Still, it would have to make time travel difficult, to say the least.
So, should we address Chumley’s poor choices for evening attire?

Was he writing Dick Tracy comics from beyond the grave? 
Cholomodeney, please, if it’s not too much trouble.
No, that was his partner, Silent Bob Fisk.
Wanna bet he lives in Featherstonehaugh off-season?
No bet.
Late 40s - early 50s producer
Probably had several martinis before dinner, wine with dinner and brandy as a nightcap. He’s sleep through anything.
I hadn’t watched the show, but I feel like I should have seen sooner that Mad Men is a play on “ad men.”
Also Madison Avenue Men.
I had the same revelation a few years ago re: the Goon Show episode “Tales of Men’s Shirts.”
Yes and no. Early NYC graffiti was with markers, marking inside walls, and often surreptitious. They didn’t want people to smell the paint, even if they had thought of the idea. They moved to spray paint cans to do the outside of buildings and trains, where they wanted “large”, and then, another new idea, started customizing the spray paint cans so that they could get hard edges or wide coverage – default spray nozzles not giving what they wanted.
Of course, spray paint cans were a relatively new idea to most people at the time (c) 1970, for most people the obvious way to apply paint was with a paint brush.
Maybe they took it from the State Eal of New Jersey, which features a horse’s head at the top.
I tell people that the Seal of my Home State has that to represent our ties to the Mafia.
Whereas New York had to give them their own town:
The Scottish Rite was founded in Charleston, South Carolina. (The name says it all?)
I watched The Wild Wild West a lot as a kid and I never noticed that the colors in the opening credits are designed to resemble an American flag.
I can’t take credit for belatedly figuring this out either. I read it in an online post.
They’re proud of this too. I used to live nearby and Horseheads has a big billboard as you enter the town, explaining the origin of the name.
I think if I lived in a town that was named after what was essentially a garbage heap, I’d make up a story about a famous general named Isaiah Horseheads or something.
Over the weekend I watched The Martian for the third time. I never noticed that Donald Glover was essentially playing his character as Abed.
I just noticed that Nintendo uses the “A” botton for accept. “A” “OK”
I’ve been doing a deep-dive on The Sixth Sense recently (I saw it in theaters in '99 as a kid, recently became infatuated with it), and I realized a few things that are cool enough to share (SPOILER ALERT for all those who (perhaps because of young age) HAVE NOT SEEN THIS VERY OLD 90s MOVIE):
