Even the stuff for alcohol can be excessive. I went to Chicago a while ago and they asked a man with greying hair for ID when he wanted to buy... like... dude, he was clearly over 21.

I think they literally have to swipe the ID every x number of purchases or something. Probably varies state by state though.

Duck tales has had a reboot that has the same theme tune. It's no longer a useful form of age verification.

Fine. Tale Spin it is or would you like the Super Mario Bros Super Show theme?

Doyle was the high school star
Everybody thought he'd go real far But he didn't take a thing from the classes he took Because he just wasn't interested in his books

I still say "holy cremola" when I'm shocked. People think it's a Batman reference, but I learnt it from Doyle!

They used the same song for the 2017 reboot, so that wouldn’t work. (Same lyrics, new recording.)

Can confirm. My kid’s watched the series over summer break and it’s been stuck in my head.

So, in Ireland, you need to go to a so called Off License to purchase alcohol or ciggies (the latter you can purchase at a newsagent as well). Went to my local grocery shop which had its own Off License to buy some tobacco. New guy working there, apparently from Poland. He asked me for my ID. I gave him my ID from another EU country which is basically the size of a credit card. He would absolutely not believe me that this was my official ID - even though as far as I know, the Polish IDs are the same format. He insisted I'd have to provide him with a drivers license (which I never had in the first place) or to show him my passport (which I didn't own either since you don't need one travelling from one EU country to another). This went back and forth for about ten minutes until I asked to speak to the manager for the first time ever in my life. Manager popped by and I explained what was going on. The manager checked my ID card and told the new guy: 'Of course that's an official ID, you gobshite...'. It made me chuckle and off I went with my tobacco.

For those curious, the "off" means "off premises" (or something like that, they may use a different wording), so a license for a store that can sell alcohol that must be taken elsewhere to be consumed, i.e. a liquor store or package store. The inverse is an "On-License", a license to sell alcohol that may be consumed on premises, so things like bars, pubs, and restaurants.

Are you one of those 40 year olds that look like they are 15 or something?

[–] Zwiebel@feddit.org 19 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (3 children)

Yeah the IDs should be the same across the EU except for the background motive

Still not convinced? How about the Animaniacs theme song??

[–] PoliteDudeInTheMood@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

It's time for Animaniacs. And we're zany to the max. So sit back and relax. You'll laugh till you collapse. We're Animaniacs.

Come join the Warner Brothers. And the Warner sister Dot. Just for fun we run around the Warner movie lot. They lock us in the tower Whenever we got caught But we break loose and then vamoose And now you know the plot.

We're Animaniacs Dot is cute And Yakko yaks Wakko packs away the snacks While Bill Clinton plays the sax. We're Animaniacs.

There's Pinky and the Brain Who want to rule the universe Goodfeathers flock together Slappy whacks them with her purse. Buttons chases Mindy While Rita sings a verse The writers flipped We have no script Why bother to rehearse

We're Animaniacs We have pay-or-play contracts We're zany to the max There's baloney in our pants We're Animanie Totally Insaney [Add random rhyme: Pinkie and the Brainey] Animaniacs Those are the facts

This doesn't work if you have ADHD:

Life is like a hurricane,
Here in, Duck-berg!
something something rhymes with cane,
It's a, duck-blur!
Let's solve a mystery,
or rewrite history!
Ducktales! Ooh oo

And that's all I've got.

[–] QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Oh it's worse not only do I have ADHD, back when I was an edgy teenager a friend of mine made up a racist version that's insanely inappropiate and overly violent.

Now we weren't racist or anything, it was the early 2000's we were bored, we thought shock humor was funny, and we didn't think anyone would think we were racist. Trump hadn't normalized Nazism, so people just thought you were being ironic at best or they just didn't give a shit at worst.

But I think of his racist version when I think of Ducktales.

No I'm not going to recite the lyrics for you, are you insane? It's so bad I wouldn't post it if this were 4chan.

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Racists ruined racist jokes, just like they did with national flags.

[–] QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 1 points 15 hours ago

When I was a kid, no one gave a shit if you had a Confederate Flag because people associated it with barbeques more than the Civil War. If people saw it on your law, they just assumed you liked Dukes of Hazzard.

Now it's basically the lowercase version of the Nazi flag, because the Republicans wanted to use it as a dog whistle.

So thank you GOP for taking a once-harmless symbol of the South and turning it into everything New York accused it of being.

I knew it was all over when they waved the Confederate Flag on the lawn of the White House to protest Obama, no joke, the Tea Party did that shit. How could anyone interpret that as anything outside of "President is bad because he's black"?

That's what pisses me off the most really about Obama and Trump being called "Dividers", it's not hte same thing at all. The Right hated Obama because they're racist, the Left hates Trump because HE'S racist.

I had a similar experience with the devil went down to Georgia. One of the first mp3s I ever had was a parody version about cannabis. I don't know any of the lyrics to the original but I know that one by heart

JOHNNY ROLL A BALL OF HASH AND MAKE SURE ITS THE BOMB

CAUSE THE DEVILS GOT THE KIND OF STUFF THEY SMOKED IN VIETNAM

I think it's called The Devil Went Down To Jamaica

I can only do it in Finnish D:

I can do the whole Fresh Prince intro, though! Back in school in the early ‘00s my geo teacher jokingly said “extra credit to anyone who can recite the Fresh Prince intro in front of class” and I stood up and recited it. Got points on my next assignment for it. Thanks, early /b/.
