Even things that use what we see as their song titles probably aren't - many of the phrases they use are rather common. I have a magnet on my fridge on which I can highlight my mood each day... and Frustrated and Sad are right next to each other!!! that must be a TMBG reference!! If there are real TMBG references in things, it will be *very* obvious to us, and no one else will get it. sometimes, a particular common phrase might be chosen because they use it also, but not often. some examples: if someone says "Turn around." that's not a TMBG reference. if they instead say "Turn around. It's a human skull on the ground!" it's obvious to us and no one else. if they say "I like to play the drums." that's not a TMBG reference. but if they add "I think I'm getting good, but I can handle criticism," again, it's obvious to us, but everyone else will just think it's normal.

It premiered in the Pan-American expo in 1917(not positive on the date). the ride consisted of people boarded a "rocket." the rocket was then shaken from the outside to simulate travelling to the moon. the effect worked very well on the victorian crowd who never before experianced such a ride. when the shakin' stopped the people took a tour of the moon, led by moon men. at the of the the ride the visiters were given souviner peices of moon cheese. the ride was so popular that it spawned a movie of the same name. it is more probable that tmbg and matt were referencing the movie of the ride, or the ride itself.

Cripes, maybe the over-serious side of the fans gathered here haven't noticed this but... IT'S A JOKE! We're not all stupid, we know that they're most likely *not* TMBG references, but it's fun to look at things that way. I mean, if I were to say that I have a TMBG reference in my home, because I have a rabbit named Lennie, which sounds a little bit like "Linnell," I wouldn't actually mean it! It's all just kidding around. Lighten up; Life's too short to knock down other people's fun.

I don't care if people joke about it, but it should at least be clear that it's a joke. To me, someone stating that they think "Destination Moon" or "I saw the best minds of my generation..." are TMBG references is not joking, because that's a plausible misconception that many people make.

A few qualms, sir. Why should the joker be forced to state that he is joking? It should be clear by his context whether he's ignorant of beat poetry or a die-hard Ginsberg fan; and despite his seriousness, there's little reason to become so obviously annoyed and spiteful. Why bother letting it get to you? Is it a personal slight towards you to believe an inherently offbeat show might reference an inherently offbeat band?

They used the word THE, and we know that TMBG have also used the word THE!" I'm not saying that the show *shouldn't* make these references, more that they most likely *aren't*. And John & John would probably take offense at your comment of "inherently offbeat band." You obviously haven't heard them describe themselves.

Do you truly know that it is a reference to the original thing every time, and not a reference to TMBG? I think it's understandable that many on this list (if not all) are excited about TMBG, and when they have reason to mention something semi-TMBG, they do so. If someone on the list happens to know something that the original poster does not know, sharing that knowledge can't hurt. Arguing the rightfulness of posting a message about what one believes to be a TMBG message simply clogs the list with several messages that say basically 1 of 2 things: 1. The message has every right to be here. 2. The message is a waste of list space. It's basically the on-topic/off-topic thing all over again. Both sides have their merits, but no one wants to shut up about them for too long. bobscott@tmbg.org AKA Bob "Goliath 2" Scott ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 6 Apr 1999 00:04:52 -0400 (EDT) From: "Kirsten L.

Okay, y'know, I'm just going to apologize, because I'm coming out all snarly and I'm really and truly not like that. You guys know that. :) I just get frustrated sometimes when the same things keep coming up over and over again. I guess I have a tendency to forget that not everyone's been on the list, or been listening to TMBG, as long as I have. So I'm sorry if I occasionally scream, "ARGH!! THAT'S IN THE FAQ AND WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT SIX TIMES! LAST WEEK!!!" Usually I manage to keep that screaming deep inside my tortured soul, but occasionally it slips out, as it did today.

There's quite a difference between saying "I saw a TMBG reference on this TV show!" and "I think this might be a TMBG reference..." saying you think it's a reference implies uncertainty. certainty about something one cannot be certain about shows ignorance (or apathy). example: I am certain that Weird Al's song Everything You Know is Wrong is based on the styles of TMBG (or his interpretation of them). He has said so. I think that when, after Moxy Fruvous performed Spiderman in Clevland last fall, Jian said "Spidey! We love you Spidey!" it was probably a TMBG reference. But I don't know for sure, and it would be stupid of me to say it definitely was. > Do you truly know that it is a reference to the original thing every time, > and not a reference to TMBG?

All I'm saying is that you can't go around saying something is certain when you're not totally sure it is. Some of them may be TMBG references. But unless it's really obvious, like if they said "Make a little birdhouse in your soul," you can't say that it is (or isn't) a reference.

There are several factors here resulting in people being certain of TMBG references. They fervently adore TMBG and want to see them everywhere they look. Many members of the list are younger and obviously do not have the rights of certainty which you solemnly hold. There is no certainty in life. I think that most of the listies understand this. But if you truly think it's harmful for someone to say "I was watching 'Grandma Ned's Cooking Show' and Grandma Ned said 'Let's become a robot'" (It was a strange episode, apparently), and then draw the conclusion: "Grandma Ned or one of the writers of her show is a fan of TMBG." Ignorance exists in the world. But sometimes ignorance is power. Think about it: Why would they bother posting it to the list if they knew for a fact that it was a reference? Obviously, someone else would have already proclaimed the eternal truth on the list. It's the slight bit of uncertainty that anyone holds when they witness something which they believe to be true. I used to think that sardines in tomato sauce were the cat's pajamas, but only recently did I discover they were another animal's attire altogether. This list can be a place where people bicker about the ignorance of others, or it can be an enlightening and entertaining place. It's up to the listies, one and all. bobscott@tmbg.org AKA Bob "Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise" Scott ------------------------------ From: GhostKrabb@webtv.net (Dexter Flansburgh) Date: Tue, 6 Apr 1999 01:40:35 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Re: TMBG: Maybe another Futurama TMBG ref?
