Re: Things that took you way too long to realize....

Matrix hates damn near everything, but loves Taco Bell. Never would've guessed lol.

I love more things than people will ever know, lol. But everybody knows I love Taco Bell. Each visit is at least two crunchwraps and a double decker. Sometimes a beefy five-layer burrito as well. I eat it to celebrate and to wallow. I think the most I've ever done is 5 items in one order.

And contrary to the notion that Taco Bell wrecks your stomach, I don't think I've ever had an issue in that regard and I have issues in that regard in countless ways.

They are pretty new. I think last year was their first year. They play in Arlington actually.

Saul Goodman is supposed to be a play on It's all good man.

I was dumbfounded when my girlfriend said she thought it was funny.

Yah, I don't know how I did not hear about it. Crazy. I'm pretty locked into local sports and my support for the Dallas based teams. Go Wings!

It's "nip it in the bud", not "nip it in the butt"

Sought this thread out so I could contribute this little nugget of facepalm:

Just realized today that John Fogerty, the guy who sang this:

Is the same guy as:

One more that's not quite as obvious as my last one (the Fogerty/CCR realization):

Never knew that Larry O'Brien, the former NBA commissioner and namesake of the NBA championship trophy, was the same man whose room was broken into at the start of the Watergate scandal (he was a Democratic electoral strategist prior to taking over the NBA for nine years pre-Stern).

For sure. Knew the name John Fogerty, knew the baseball song, knew CCR and their hits, knew little else beyond that. It all makes sense now.

Just recently realized that the backwards K in baseball scoring means the batter struck out looking. Don't know how that escaped me.

Lol, I never knew that either. I thought it was just done for obvious letter placement reasons.

How do you know so much about fish?

I went to a fish school where you learned to identify fish among other things like measuring nets and I don't think they went over that. They just said mahi-mahi was the dolphin that's on the menu.

I know I have droves of examples to mention but the first big one to come to mind comes courtesy of my 19-year-old brother, who learned just two days ago that Yosemite National Park was pronounced "Yo-sem-ee-tee" and not "Yoze-might". In his semi-defense, he said he'd heard of Yosemite, but just thought it and Yoze-might were two different regions.

This whole thread - especially some of the early ones - are just killing me laughing (although these are some of my favorites). Also, at least half of the things people didn't realize, I just now (in this thread) realized. Mostly the sports logo things. I'm realizing that many sports logos are way too subtle/clever for me.

For the longest time I thought food poisoning meant someone literally poisoned your food. I never understood why there was someone going around poisoning people and why we didn't flip out. Someone just tried to kill you and you're like "oh well, it happens". Call the cops!

This one caused me to laugh as hard as anything I can remember in the past several months (at least).
