Curious what this was about... (Ask For Babs). 🤔
Industry insider tip (err... well, live close enough to the industry to know this: you should always watch to the end of the credits for the end, typically films have some cool outtakes or inside joke or something else at the end after all the credits.)
The Blues Brothers - Bridge Jump Scene

Megan Lynch (she/her)@ai6yr It's a reference to a character in "National Lampoon's Animal House".
Shirley Eugest"Ask for Babs."
This matches stories on other sites.
Babs is a character in "Animal House."
"Babs becomes a tour guide at Universal Studios. The credits for this and other John Landis films contain an advertisement for a tour at Universal Studios. The ad says, "Ask for Babs." As of 1989, Universal Studios no longer honors the "Ask for Babs" promotion, which was either a discount, or a free entry."

Classic TV Theme: The Dukes of Hazzard
Just a trash panda 🦝@ai6yr This one's not Chicago?
@ai6yr are we watching The Blues Brothers?
@kinsale42 LOL apparently I don't remember much from when I saw this the first time. Must have been dramatically edited for TV. 🤔
@ai6yr well they were on a mission from god, Elwood had a room next to the train, there was something about Nazis...
@ai6yr I vaguely remember something from somewhere (possibly not the Blues Brothers) where they gave their home address as a baseball stadium (as a fake address)

@ai6yr yep that was why I brought up the baseball field 😊
Colin Warren@ai6yr Oh, shit, is that really the bridge with the nazis! I’ve been over that soooo many times on foot and bike!

@zl2tod @ai6yr I had my own day, not quite as satisfying as that scene, in February 1993, where I got to go out and shout down a bunch of goddamn nazi wannabes in my town
KKK MARCH IN NEWARK DE
@zl2tod @ai6yr The longer story includes a local and historic connection to the Klan of old, in Rising Sun, MD just a few miles away (and, of course, south of the Mason-Dixon Line which runs just NORTH of Newark, DE…)

@ai6yr Built for the Polish immigrants who worked the steel mills, finished just before the great shift away from steel in the American Midwest…
@ai6yr I feel like I’ve been on that bridge…now looking at the lat/long.
@ai6yr Absolutely glorious post-industrial (bonus points, multiple Ex-Steel Mills!) wasteland zone! Not far from Pullman (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pullman,_Chicago) and I’ve even ridden a bike through there…
@ai6yr Yes! South Chicago area! It was a long time ago, but I’ve driven it at least once…
Matt Blaze@ai6yr It’s got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks.
