And then there's 'Crossed the Rainbow Bridge', which makes it sound like everyone becomes gay at the time of death.

I think this is actually a reference to the ending of a Wagnerian opera. One of the euphemisms that I have never understood is "bought the farm."

I never knew where the rainbow bridge was used by humans or just pets…

The Rainbow Bridge was the one the Norse gods used to enter Valhalla. (See what you learn when you're a fan of Wagnerian opera.)

I did not know that.  Not a fan of Wagner but I did enjoy “Vikings”…..I’m going to have to remember that little factoid for future cocktail party chat…

You can find it in Marvel Comics, too ( see Thor: Tales of Asgard). 

I'm sorry to hear about Jay. I don't think I've ever seen a full video but did see snippets. While only a rumor, it would be horrible to think that because Austin dissed him, it led to a mental health crisis.
 

 

As for the Rainbow Bridge, I've only heard it referred to regarding pets. But I don't get out much. 
 

If the concept is referring to the Asgardian Bridge, it's name is the Bifrost Bridge ( from a misspent youth reading mythology-although I liked the Greek and Roman myths better-and devouring comic books until the age of 23-it was 18 years after that before I ever had sex. I had to fill up my spare time some way. 😝😝).

I cannot tell a lie-whoops I guess I can. 
 

@Nightowl wrote the following. But for some reason he put it in a text box, so it looks like I wrote it. I didn't want to receive credit for someone else's erudition.

Weird—don’t know how that happened!

It can happen when there is empty space in the text you quote and you don't notice where the edges of the text box are. I just experimented with starting to quote the comment you were quoting and this is how it that appeared:

From looking at the comment you made quoting @Gar1eth, it looks like you put your comment in the empty space above his sentence starting with, 'I'm sorry ...'

Is there a way to manually add in quotes as there was in the old Forum? Back then it was possible to quote something partially, have it be in a quote box, add your two or three cents in outside the quote box, and then have a new quote box to finish the quote. Or with this new Forum  are things too automatic to allow that level of control?

Yes, three ways:

  • Select part of the text, and most of the time a little box will appear with something like 'Quote this selection' and click that. Repeat that with each part you want to quote. Each of them will appear in your new comment as quoted text boxes. (Sometimes when you select the text the 'quote this selection' option won't apply. Try again, and if it still doesn't work use the thrid method below.)
  • Click on 'Quote' and delete parts of the text you don't want.
  • Click on the quotation mark icon at the top of the reply box and that will insert a quotation box in the reply. Then copy the text you wnat and paste it into the quotation box.

If anyone has further questions like this, ask them in the Feedback forum so threads like this can stay on topic.

Lovely remembrance. 🌹

Thx. The full video was in his OF but sadly no longer there. On pornhub I found a trailer clip of the scene.
