WHO DOES NUMBER 2 WORK FOR

[–] thekerker@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that's it! You show that turd who's boss.

(since nobody seems to know, this is a scene from the Prisoner, which is what "who does #2 work for" is a reference to)

[–] thekerker@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure this is a reference to Austin Powers, where he's giving the Irish hitman a swirly in a casino bathroom and yelling "WHO DOES NUMBER 2 WORK FOR" while a gambler played by Tom Arnold in the next stall is trying to encourage him on.

You are correct. But what Austin Powers was referencing was this scene from The Prisoner. Top notch 60's TV!

That's not my bag, baby

Deep cut! I first heard of and saw that show in college. It's great!

[–] Destraight@lemm.ee -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It wasn't a show, it was a movie.

[–] squiblet@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I think they're referring to the Prisoner, not Austin Powers.

Vegans. Plants = Fiber.

Animal products have no fiber.

[–] Neato@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Some people are blessed with normal bowel movements with average amounts of fiber. We participate in a CSA so have dozens of pounds of veggies every week. Every meal is veggie heavy. My body doesn't care, it's a lazy ass.

[–] markstos@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

The average American gets only about half the recommended amount of fiber.

[–] GreatGrapeApe@reddthat.com 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Animal products can have fiber if it is either forcemeat like chicken and apple sausages but on its own only plant foods have dietary fiber
