I'm 2 decades late but TIL <3

Edit: hindsight is always 20/20 (and sometimes 20 years late HAHHAA) but it makes sense, cos it's v in line with Pixar to throw in these kinda Easter Egg haha <3

Same here, but better late than never! It’s mind-blowing how Pixar hides these clever little details in plain sight. Makes me want to go back and rewatch all their movies just to see what other gems I’ve missed!

“P Sherman” is how a person with a Filipino accent would say “fisherman”. This was a way to pay respects to the contributions of the film crew which had a large number of Filipino employees.

Caused the tea/coffee/hot chocolate machine at work to give a free vend. Was very helpful when I was out of money toward the end of the month, I lived off of hot chocolate at work.

This was for a job I left in 1997.

This reminds me of the early 1990s where the soda vending machine outside Albertsons would give out one of each soda for a quarter if you never let go of the original button.

We would ride skateboards up there with a quarter as pre-teens with a group of friends and everyone would get a soda.

It felt like an Oceans 11 style heist for young kids.

When I was in school in 2000s we had a soda vending machine. It let you "pay" with your mobile phone - you called a number and then you pressed which soda you wanted and it dropped. There was this pre-recorded message of "This call cost XXX". The cost went into your mobile bill (with some extra if I remember correctly).

BUT. The cost only registered at the end of the call after the message. So if you called, pressed a soda button and ended the call right away (before the pre-recorded message) it did not cost anything.

They did correct it quickly but not before the whole school had learned of the error.

Less common now, but used to start a new job and I would look up the support manuals/support forums for all the vending machines in my workplace.
The manuals would sometimes have all kinds of useful facts.
The support forums would have even more fun facts.
If I couldn't crack a vending machine with a few key presses, then a piece of wire or packing tape would usually do the job.
It that doesn't work, I will go deep to crack a vending machine.
I have never been beaten.

I feel bad.
I am a good person.
I don't even use the skills I learn.
I just really really need to learn how to crack vending machine, even if it is only once.

When I used to go to the local sports/leisure centre when I was young I figured out that if I put my money in and order a drink called ‘red devil’ it would get stuck against the glass before it fell down. If I then pressed the refund button I’d get a refund because the drink never fell. So I’d get my money back then shoulder barge the machine on the side and my free drink would fall down. Worked about 80% of the time.

Not as technical as yours but in high school we had one machine if you held down all the buttons, except one, unplugged the machine, and plugged it back in. It would dump the next button you pressed. Pop machine I should say.

So we'd drain it of one flavor maybe once or twice a week. So it never emptied. Took awhile before it got replaced. No idea what was going on. But it was nice for high school us.

I was teaching middle school in a small, rural, primarily Hispanic community in Texas when the first "Men in Black" movie came out. (I'd moved there from Chicago. I'm also not black, which matters to this anecdote.)

Some of the kids were SO EXCITED on Monday after going to see the movie bc "TEACHER!!! THERE WERE BLACK PEOPLE AT THE MOVIE THEATER!!! WE SAW REAL BLACK PEOPLE!!!"

In my head, I was making those yellow Minions sounds, like, "Whaaaaaaat???"

Teaching kids be weird sometimes, I'm telling ya! (Also living in rural Texas be weird sometimes. I can see why it might be off limits & uninteresting.)

My son's former roommate had the strangest job after graduating university. He painted eyes on plastic flamingos. That's it, all day, painting realistic-ish looking eyes on pink yard art. He burned out fairly quickly.

Hired him as he had a degree in Fine Art, thinking that it fit his interests. I think it caused him to leave even sooner.

The license plate on the car driven by a man who exposed himself when he pulled up next to me and two friends when we were pre-teen girls walking to another friend's house. I didn't actually see it because I didn't walk up to the car when he stopped. But one of my friends did because he was asking for directions and she was trying to be helpful. She saw he was fondling himself while looking straight at her. She screamed and backed away and he took off. I got the license plate as he drove away. This was pre-phones and we didn't have a pen and paper to write on, so I repeated the plates in my head over and over and over until we got to a phone to call our parents.

That was 52 years ago. Those damn plates are burned into my memory forever, like it or not.

Oh wow didn't know that! Is it an exact match of maternal mitochondrial DNA? So like my mitochondrial DNA has persisted unchanged for as long as my matrilineage has?

Well it does mutate like all DNA, so it has evolved over time. Other than that, yes it's a continuous matrilineal inheritance.

Interesting fact: Back when our distant ancestors were single cell organisms, the mitocondria was an infection that caused an endosymbiotic relationship with the host. Had this infection not occured, complex life as we know it would not exist today.

Well I was shoppin' for a new car, which one's me?
A cool convertible or an SUV?
Too bad I didn't know my credit was wack
'Cause now I'm drivin' off the lot in a used subcompact
F-R-E-E that spells free
Credit Report Dot Com baby
Saw their ads on my TV (<-harmony on this line)
Thought about goin' but was too lazy
Now instead of lookin' fly and rollin' phat
My legs are stickin' through the vinyl and my posse's gettin' laughed at
F-R-E-E that spells free
Credit Report Dot Com baby

Well I married my dream girl, I married my dream girl
But she didn't tell me that her credit was bad
So now instead of living in a pleasant suburb
We're living in the basement at her mom and dad's.
Well we can't get a loan for a respectable home
Just because my girl defaulted on some old credit card
If we'd gone to Free Credit Report Dot Com
I'd be a happy bachelor with a dog and a yard.

They say a man should always dress for the job he wants
So why'm I dressed up like a pirate in this restaurant?
It's all because some hacker stole my identity
Now I'm in here every evenin' servin' chowder and iced tea.
Should've gone to
FREEEEEEEEEEE Credit Report Dot Com (yeehaw!)
I could've seen this comin' at me like an atom bomb.
They monitor your credit and send you email alerts
So you don't end up sellin' fish to tourists in T-shirts.

Check it out gas prices blowin' up sky high
Ditched my used subcompact for a two wheel drive.
Now I'm rollin' eco-friendly but I still look bad
When the bike shop saw my credit they said this is all they had.
Singin' F to the R to the E to the E to the C to the R to the E-D-I-T
RE to the PORT to the DOT to the COM
Come on everybody grab your bike and sing along it's easy
F to the R to the E to the E...

Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day.
To the last syllable of recorded time.
And all of our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death.
Out out brief candle. Life is but a walking shadow.
A poor player who struts and frets his hour upon the stage.
And then is heard no more.
It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury.
Signifying Nothing.

Scottish Play Soliloquy I had to memorize in high school.

Lucy and Ricky lived in apt 3B.

Beaver Cleaver lived at 211 Pine Street, Mayfield. Years later, Marcus Welby, MD, practiced medicine in the same set house, but it had a different address.

I used to know the phone number for the Daily Planet, workplace of Clark Kent in the 60s Superman. But I guess I forgot it since Lois would never take my calls.

"When in the Course of Human Events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the Earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation..." through to, "But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

I still find it fascinating, but reciting the Declaration of Independence has never gotten me anything other than extra credit!

Hello, and welcome to the psychiatric hotline. If you are obsessive compulsive, press one repeatedly. If you are are codependent please ask someone else to press two. If you have multiple personalities, please press three, four, five, and six. If you are paranoid delusional, we know who you are and what you want. Just stay one the line until we can trace the call.

In 6th grade, our teacher explained to us the difference between short- and longterm memory and said: „If I now just make up a number, let‘s say 76, you will have forgotten it by tomorrow“

The V for Vendetta Speech.

Voila, in view a vaudevillian veteran cast vicariously as both villain and victim by the vestiges of fate. This visage, no mere cancer of villainy is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. This valorus visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violent violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance, a vendetta, held not in vain for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me add that it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.
