Hello Everyone!

Thursday's was Chase Stein from Runaways!
That's like, three of those guys now!

Well Done to Sacha, who spoke more Bro talk to me than I ever wish to hear again.

Still going to keep Saturday's open.
If people are out there thinking "But that's obvious!",
then it seems that that's almost all of you, so nobody ends up entering.
And thus nobody wins. Boo.

Also, either today, yesterday or Monday, I estimate is the 100th WTW!
Depends if you count it as Tagged Entries, Entry Pictures (not including Reposts), or including reposts.

So have some of the good stuff.

The Deal

Hello Everyone!

Sorry for the lack of post today. I slept something like seventeen hours. It wasn't very nice. I feel terrible, and only have my dreary front room to grace me for twelve hours now. Yay. Boo.

For people that don't know, considering I use Ink Mumblings here as just a place for Who'sThatWhat? rather than a personal Blog, I suffer from suicidal depression, and it really sucks.

Every so often I just don't want to. Like, anything. I just don't want to do it. And sometimes my body's in charge of doing that rather than my head. Which really sucks.

One of the things I'm currently not doing is chasing up my Sick Pay, that has not arrived since November, leaving me penniless and behind rent. Which really sucks. Please also bear in mind that this sick note states that "David is unable to deal with people", which double sucks because that means I'm not only unfit for employment, but also unfit to deal with freakin' incapacity benefit as it involves dealing with a heck a lot of people especially when it's screwed up. Boing!

So yeah. Rant over. Today just didn't happen. But look over there! Is that 99 Who's That What posts? I think it might be! Although I'm sure one of them at least is just a reminder on buying pictures, I still count it. So the next one, Saturday, I'm going to make extra special.

Talking of pictures, just a reminder: although I can't accept money for pictures directly, I'm more than happy to give away previous pictures along with money for donations, considering, as stated above, I do this every day with no sort of income. Pop me an email if you're interested,a s at least ten or so pictures are long gone by now. This isn;'t me fishing for cash, this is just reminding that you can own these!

See you soon,
David

Sorry. Kind of lost my Friday. So here's Saturday.

Wednesday's was Scientific Stick In The Mud Egon Spengler,
as portrayed by Harold Ramis, but mostly by Maurice Lemarche in the cartoon, The Real Ghostbusters.
Who was also This Guy.

Well Done to Kat, who identified Egon as the archetypal Mythbusters watcher.

Thursday's was King Of The Northmen & Liberal Activist Noggin The Nog!

Well done to Dan, who theorized that Oliver Postgate originally planned Noggin as a Sitcom of Shakespeare's Hamlet:
  • Old Hamlet = King Knut. Dead, but haunting Number 2b Elsinor Road as a ghost, much to the annoyance of everyone else! Hilarity ensues when the vicar drops by for tea.
  • Claudius = Nogbad the Bad, who wants to get it on with Grunhilda/Gertrude, but whose plans are always spoiled by Noggin/Hamlet and/or Knut/Hamlet.
  • Gertrude = Queen Grunhilda. Has a very saucy relationship with Nogbad, filled with double entendres.
  • Hamlet = Noggin. Cheered up somewhat for light entertainment, he would have a hilarious attack of stress-induced Tourette's in every episode.
  • Ophelia = Nooka. Hamlet's fashion conscious sister. Regularly had mishaps with puddles/taxis, garden hoses, stuck taps etc, resulting in her being soaked to the skin, thus showing off her assets.
  • Polonius = Graculus. Stock footage of a parrot was used to save costs. He could be relied upon to repeat something embarrassing that someone else had said at exactly the right moment.
  • Horatio = Thor Nogson. Noggin's friend who fancied Nooka and would occasionally hilariously call her 'Nookie'. Always called Grunhilda/Gertrude 'Mrs. Nogg'.
  • Guildernstern and Rosencrantz = Olaf the Lofty and Ronf, the incredibly camp next door neighbours from Number 2a. One was very tall, the other was very short. Comedy gold!
  • Yorick = Prince Knut, the family dog.
Also, hats off to Jon, who claimed:
"Noggin the Nog was a real historical character.
He wasn't a
north-man, though, he was born in Portsmouth and used to frighten ducks and small children.
He was killed by a drunken bishop driving a
Lamborghini at the battle of Stamford Bridge.
His last words were
"Nice tyres, blood'."
