@fluffy Merriam-Webster claims the first known use as a verb was in 1953, but it doesn't look like they say where that use was.

Tom Truszkowski @axonite.mas.to.ap.brid.gy · 11/08/2026

@fluffy It was also used the modern way (but also directly referencing the movie) in a "Car 54, Where Are You?" episode a few years before this.

@ifixcoinops They test marketed IRN BRU in northeast PA around 20 years ago. I think it's still available in a few stores.

I saw this at an antique store the other day... a Radio Shack crystal radio kit, with what appears to be a drawing of The Jam on the box. (Definitely looks like Bruce Foxton on bass!) I think I might have had one of these sets, but I don't think mine came in this box! #RadioShack #TheJam

A Radio Shack crystal radio kit. The left side of the box shows the radio, and the right side has a drawing showing some men in a control room, and behind the glass a group that looks a lot like The Jam is playing.

A closer view of the picture on the right side of the box.

The universe is back... But only the Plant is in it! www.stationv3.com/d3/20260102.html #Comics #Webcomics #SciFi #StationV3

On the surface of the planet, a floating rumormonger says to a normal one that the universe is back, but only the Plant is in it. The other one points out that they're there too. But the floating one says they're not, the Plant just thinks they are. The Plant is confused.

Tom Truszkowski @axonite.mas.to.ap.brid.gy · 02/01/2026

Now things will get back to normal? www.stationv3.com/d3/20260101.html #Comics #Webcomics #SciFI #StationV3

On the station, the Plant thinks about how it's glad the universe is back, because now things will get back to normal. It thinks about that for a moment. Well, it COULD happen!

There is an error message: Error Restoring universe from backup. Then another: Error Backup not found. Then a third: Error Too many errors. Then we see the Plant inside the station, thinking "Error... I haven't been watered in a long time!"

I couldn't let a year go without a new Station V3 comic! www.stationv3.com/d3/20251230.html #Comics #Webcomics #SciFi #StationV3

A floating alien says it thinks whoever is simulating the universe is doing a terrible job. The plant is nearby. Suddenly, the universe explodes in unreality, and then fades to grey, and then black, at which point it makes the observation that whoever it is doesn't take criticism very well, either.

A recent thrift store find - Can't find that Chubby Checker record you wanted? Fats Domino isn't available either? Have we got a record for you! (And I'm guessing the cover art was meant to make people think of Joey Dee and the Starlighters' "Peppermint Twist" too.) #Vinyl #TubbyChess

The front cover of a cheap Chubby Checker imitation record from 1961 - Tubby Chess and his Candy Stripe Twisters Do The Twist.

The cover art is a large candy cane on a plain background, along with the title and a list of songs. (Including "The Twist" of course!)
