Freak Kitchen is a Swedish rock band. I saw them back in 2003 when they performed shows with the Faroese band Týr (one of my all time favorites).

When I listened to their song Shithead paying attention to the lyrics I noticed this:

> Shithead is a true companion
> He'll guard your precious thermos
> You can use him as a cover
> To hide your "special purpose"

This is a reference to the Steve Martin film The Jerk (1979).

A screenshot from The Jerk (1979).

Steve's Martin's character is nude in front of an older woman. For decencies sake he holds his dog up in front of his "special purpose".

Got this text from a young friend yesterday. My first thought--"This is the kind of spontaneous publicity I need." Does anyone but me get that joke? @histodons

screen shot of a text. 

photo of part of a LinkNYC kiosk.  It says "update on crime and safety programs in Queens by NYPD 114th Precinct" Underneath that it says Prof. Rebecca Bratspies, author Naming Gotham (On the same agenda as the cops . ..  .)  also has a QR code to stream the meeting online

Below the photo is a message that says "saw this on a link nyc??? you are famous!!! congratulations!!!

Here for “The Jerk”

Two posters for the 1979 comedy “The Jerk” from The USA and Japan.

Someone please get me on a better #earworm than this:
"I’m picking out a thermos for you.
Not an ordinary thermos for you.
But the extra best thermos that you can buy,
With vinyl and stripes and a cup built right in!
I’m picking out a thermos for you,
And maybe a barometer too,
And what else can I buy so on me you’ll rely,
A rear end thermometer too"
