That used to be standard Sunday viewing in our family when it first aired here.

I loved the ad for the UK showing where they did the opening sequence in live action.

When I was younger, I hated live action movies.

When I was younger, I wore a younger man's clothes.

mr_cleome tried to donate his Nineties "NXNW" T-shirt, now that he hates hipsters. But I adopted it. It's a great shirt.

It is more acceptable for a woman to wear mens clothing than for a man to wear womens clothing.

That's because men's clothing (and traditionally "male" values) are thought to impart dignity and power. Women's clothes are thought to detract from seriousness, not enhance it.

I like how younger people are upending gender roles through image more then ever. Even though I personally hate to fuss over my clothes, hair, and makeup. If people are going to spend the time on them, let the image be as much to their own liking as possible.

I am now picturing the president in a flowing organdy gown.

I hope he picks a flattering color. Pale yellow or off-white, perhaps. Maybe a nice cornflower blue corsage.

I seriously wear the plainest clothes you can imagine, but sometimes I'm fascinated reading about different kinds of fabrics and how they're made: organdy, dimity, taffetta...

There was a fairy tale in one of my old Cricket magazines about how that last one was a gift from a mermaid to a sea captain named Tom Taffet. She brought him a wave in the form of fabric, and he sold it in the town.

I was going to bleat on about cricket, but I had to look up organdy and dimity, so feel free to keep chatting away, as if I wasn't here interrupting...um..

Organdy makes me think of Burgundy.

Solomon Grundy wearing burgundy* is an image that makes me grumpy.











*Yes, I know it's BUR-goon-dee, but I still say Bur-GUN-dee. Proper pronunciation, feh!

I say it Bur-GUN-dee too!

Cheers, Ibby.

When I'm feeling particularly immature, and I'm sure no one can hear me, I start chanting, "GRRRRR-undy, undies, undies!"

Tee-hee! I think I'll start doing that too, Fanfie.

When I am alone in an elevator, I sometimes say "Shazam!"

Awww, thanks, Ibby.

And there's plenty more where that childish chant came from.

Another one, which I've alluded to in earlier posts over the last few years, is an imitation of Lady Gaga's slurred vocals on her duet with Beyoncé, "Telephone."

I've always heard the line,

"Sometimes I feel like I live in Grand Central Station"

as,

"Satanic fecal matter from Grizelda Shea-Shea."

Grizelda better watch where she's pooping!

It is pronounced that way.



And the adult version of Thundercats was born



I try and get in a few lines of '80s pop songs when I'm in the lift. No doubt people waiting for the doors to open get the last part of it. I just pretend that they imagined it.

ROTFLMAO

It's actually existed since I was a tween watching Thundercats in the 80s. Growing up in decades-behind-the-times Latin America and both Catholic and extremely sheltered, once my hormones were raging, some of my fantasies were...rather disturbing.

NSFW nor family-friendly:

Gah! My Eyes! Make the words go away! Make the words go... oh hi Fickles... no, nothing wrong here...nothing at all... no it's not bleach... it's special eye drops... bleach indeed... >pours<

Deborah (formerly Debbie) Harry of Blondie frontwoman fame had a remix album of her solo singles titled "Once More Into the Bleach."

Based on its low sales, I'd say a lot of people were put off by that pun.

And it is pretty bad.

I love puns, but that one even made me roll my eyes.

Bleach blanket bingo, anyone?

Bleached blankets blend in beautifully.

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the hardest tongue twister is:

The sixth sick sheik's sixth sheep's sick.
