neverwhereSave me Illuvatar, from the pillocks who insist on calling TTT the Twin Towers, before I can longer control myself and punch the next one right in the nose. Arrrghh!
Anyway. :)
Does this ever happen to you? You're watching tv, flipping channels, and you think you've come across a very underbudget but mildly interesting parody of Planet of the Apes, and just when you're starting to chuckle at the outrageously campy costumes and fur-clad bikini women -- oh, wait, that bikini woman is taking off her top and starting to snog her neighbour, whom you've just noticed is wearing a dog collar and is chained to yet another bikini woman. Oh. *snerk* No, I did not keep watching (for very long), but I did laugh outloud at this charming piece of cinema verite:
Bikini Woman #1: Brr! It's so cold here.
Bikini Woman #2: In Russia, we used our bodies to keep each other warm. *moves to stroke #1's knee*
Bikini Woman #1: HEY! I don't go in for that kind of thing.
Bikini Woman #3: I'm so lonely... *grabs #1 and starts snogging her with copious amounts of tongue*
Bikini Woman #1: Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
Am I the only one who finds this complete turnaround in less than five seconds amusing? *grins*
Also on the weird tv front, I stumbled across something that I thought was Fushigi Yuugi (in an absolutely APPALLING English dub, never heard anything quite so atrocious. Thank god I have it on dvd), but after about a minute I became utterly confused, and kept repeating to myself 'What the hell is going on!?' Tamahome is mistaken for Nakago? Tama kills Koiji? Yui's back in the book? WTF?? I knew it was an OAV, but that didn't prevent me from being totally flummoxed. Sadly, I only saw the one episode, so I have no idea what happens next. Not that I really wanted to continue watching anything with such dire voice actors.
I also watched The Fantastic Adventures of Unico and Unico and the Island of Magic, the latter being the most terrifying children's film ever made. Seriously. The villain scared the shit out of me when I was five, and he still frightens me. Unico is obnoxiously adorable of course. I used to have a Unico sticker book (appropriately titled 'My Sticker Book') which I loved, and a whole bunch of other Sanrio goodies featuring the ickle unicorn. I wonder what happened to them? Probably thrown out by my father, who took all the things he considered 'rubbish' (original Star Wars figures, first edition children's books, all kinds of early-mid 80's toys and promotional items) and put them in the garbage, all of which would of course now bring me a small fortune from eBay. Damn him.
In other news...Happy Birthday![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

I love being called 'The Nevvie', it makes me feel so singular and important ;-)

Oh, who am I kidding. Carry on Spamming! It's nifty watching other people have converations, especially when I can feel smug about introducing them to each other. ;-)

Your icon actually reminds me of Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame, because I had to sing the Dies Irae bit in a cabaret I was in a few years ago. I thought I made a rather fetching monk. ;-)

I would phone post, but my crappyarse computer doesn't have speakers (or even a working soundcard), so I wouldn't know what it sounds like. And I couldn't have that. *G*
