Seen on QI:
Knock knock
Who’s there?
To
To who?
No, it’s “to whom”
Who led the zeppelin revolt of 1991?
The Who opened for Zeppelin?
Wait, I may have misread that.
“Who is The Doctor?”
“Affirmative.”
Other way round.
May 25, 1969: The Who, Led Zeppelin Share a Bill. The Who were riding high on the early success of Tommy when they played the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD, on May 25, 1969. Opening the show was a relatively new English band whose first album had been released in January of that year: Led Zeppelin.
They never played together again, at least in the U.S. Obviously, there was a zeppelin revolt. I just got the date wrong.
Order of adjectives (posted above)
- Quantity or number
- Quality or opinion
- Size
- Age
- Shape
- Color
- Proper adjective (often nationality, other place of origin, or material)
- Purpose or qualifier
“Great green gobs of greasy, grimy gopher guts” should be (2) grimy, (2) greasy (3) great (5) gobs of (6) green (7) gopher (noun) guts
Or just play is safe and singularize the adjectives:
He was a hairy bear,
He was a scary bear,
We beat a hasty retreat from his lair.
I’m not sure I’m following, but that’s two adjective(s)-noun phrases joined by “of”. The first phrase is “great(3) green(6) gobs(N)” and the second is “greasy(2) grimy(2) gopher(7) guts(N)”. The ordering of the adjectives in one phrase doesn’t affect the ordering of the adjectives in the other.
You could be right, and the only reason I hope you aren’t is because I want that phrase to have been created organically by kids, and not an adult pandering to them.
Led Zeppelin opened for The Whom?
For the win!
Weren’t Question Mark and the Mysterions also on the bill?
He was also part of the team that designed the famous Theme Building at LAX
PBS has a documentary about his life
For the first one, I’ve always assumed that it was pronounced as two syllables.
I’ve never been to that state though.
Last year’s quarter series featured Celia Cruz, the first Afro-Latino on any U.S. coin
One African American first I recently learned about: a few years after the Great Chicago Fire, the city established a new firehouse on the near NW side, and for reasons not noted staffed it with an all-Black crew (but the city did inform the white neighborhood that if the crew were abused they’d shut the firehouse down).
One day when a alarm was sounded, a firefighter who was stacking hay in the loft used the staking pole to slide down instead of the ladder and stairs, beating his crew members who were already a floor below them. The pole was shellacked and installed for this new purpose, and the firehouse crew became known for arriving at fires before the other houses.
It’s always great when opportunity and ingenuity collide.
Same here
I have. They pronounce it funny. Just one syllable.
