    Rewatching Doom Patrol season one in prep for diving into season two now that a number of episodes are out. On Danny Patrol, and dammit, I know what's coming in this scene everytime. But I have like a futile hope everytime that Larry is actually singing and that the ending isn't coming, and then it does and I bawl.

    Doom Patrol needs all the awards.

    Danny gave Larry some freedom if only in his mind.

    the over-the-credits bit of the full episode mentions "Three Men and a Little Lady"
    which caused me to go, man, I'd forgotten all about that film.

    so I googled the original and was informed that it was based on Trois hommes et un couffin, on which wikipedia has this to say:
    Three Men and a Cradle (French: Trois hommes et un couffin) is a 1985 French comedy film by Coline Serreau. The film was remade in Hollywood as Three Men and a Baby in 1987 which was subsequently remade into six Indian movies in five different languages.

    The singing voice of Boney M is Frank Farian who is also the creator of Milli Vanilli
    As one of his things was to hire performers to front for public performances.

    Alright now somebody clone some silphium from some fuckin mummified seeds or somethin
    Silphium (also known as silphion, laserwort, or laser) was a plant that was used in classical antiquity as a seasoning, perfume, as an aphrodisiac, or as a medicine. It also was used as a contraceptive by ancient Greeks and Romans. It was the essential item of trade from the ancient North African city of Cyrene, and was so critical to the Cyrenian economy that most of their coins bore a picture of the plant. The valuable product was the plant's resin.

    It's funny the stuff I enjoy most is when they are talking about things they love.

    Isn’t the American hard R one of the least common linguistic things but also one of the hardest?

    I blame the Germans. For everything, generally.

    But specifically for that tongue twister, which is originally German and just happens to work in English as well. And nobody should be held accountable for what the Germans do with their consonants.

    Yeah, and I imagine the fact that it's so difficult explains why it's so uncommon. Mouths tend toward "laziness" and the American R requires a super weird tongue position that's hard to learn even if you completely understand what your mouth is supposed to be doing

    I was an English teacher in Japan, and one week I tried to focus on teaching them stuff like tongue/lip/teeth positioning but turns out that's mostly beyond a bunch of middle schoolers who don't actually care all that much about learning English

    What about trills? Because I absolutely cannot trill my tongue.

    I'd have to look into the details for actual evidence, but surprisingly (or maybe not) even though Japanese doesn't have any trills natively, people there seem to be much better at trills and rolls than they are at hard Rs. For example, a lot of my students found it easier to trill/roll the R in "brother" rather than try for the hard R. I think it's probably because their sound that's closest to R is tapped, so they're more used to keeping their tongue in motion for those sounds.

    I'd also imagine that's true for most languages - even if they don't normally use trills or rolls, they probably have sounds that are closer to those than to ours, so it's easier to adapt (no idea if there's research that bears this out, mind, just a hunch). Since American English doesn't really have anything close to that, it's no surprise it's harder for us (I can't trill/roll to save my life)

    that just means you're cool

    it's still really super hard for them to use 'r's in words though

    What I meant was how hard are trills for people who don’t use them regularly, since I cannot trill for the life of me.
