Americans are xenophobic. Thus, they intentionally ignore historical anecdotes about foreign cultures. Thus, they are ignorant. I just wonder when Old Spanish made the conversion from X's to J's in words like Quijote. Modern Spanish translations rarely spell Cervantes' quixotic character with an x anymore. Oh, and those Tiny Toons episodes with TMBG were the secks back in the day. |

Azrael | So you signed up to the forums solely for all of the exciting They Might Be Giants talk that goes on around here huh? | ||

Of course, "needed" may not exactly be the right word, since I already freaking said it. |

I understand that, at the moment though my mind is kinda turned to mush after reading ten books in a row before they were due back in the library. EDIT: I'll just use the wiki entry part Quote:

Grislygus | I don't think that ignorance of Don Quixote indicates xenophobia rather than just plain disinterest in anything historical. | ||

HunterRose | eh? I didn't quite get what you were saying. | ||

Sethomas | Never underestimate the power of American xenophobic ignorance. | ||

HunterRose | I was just shortening the name reference, I doubt many have seen the movie "They Might Be Giants"; but I doubt few people in America, or Europe have heard of Don Quixote. | ||

Grislygus | In all fairness, the movie title itself was a reference to Don Quixote, so he's partly right. | ||

Esuohlim | No it's not it's a reference to a George C. Scott movie | ||

HunterRose | The name "They Might Be Giants" is a reference to the Cervantes character Don Quixote and his penchant for tilting his lance against windmills, thinking that "they might be giants." | ||

HunterRose | Have you seen their video for Bastard Wants to Hit me? It is classic, a paranoid kid getting chased around by a homocidal maniac, that shows the guy his scars that goes up from his pelvis all the way down his body. and he is proud of this fact. | ||

Jixby Phillips | I like when garfield and friends parodied malcolm in the middle and they did a parody of their own theme "you aint the boss of ME-OW" | ||

HunterRose | my Favorite Albums are The Spine, just for the songs Bastard wants to hit me, and Damn Good Times, and Venue Songs, for Dallas (trees); and Hollywood (House of Blues) | ||
