Hello Everyone!

Saturday's was, h'obviously, a more realistic take on nazi-supporting anger-management poster-child Donald Duck.

Well done to Sara, who taught not to judge a duck by his lisp-- I mean, naturally ducky vocal limitations.

Also hats off to Ger and his Disney/ Raymond Chandler mix;
Issy and her very wrong videos;
Ellie's theories on inter-Disney hitmen;
Wol and WHY DOES HE NOT WEAR PANTS WHY WHY OH WHY DOES HE NOT WEAR PANTS WHY I MEAN WHY WHY WHY WOULD YOU PUT A CAT IN A BIN I MEAN WHY?

Hello Everyone!

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'."

And to Rich, who thought it was Titus Pullo from Rome.
Ace.

Hello Everyone!

Tuesday's was, of course, super-evolved feline and narcissistic idiot The Cat from Red Dwarf. Along with a Service Scutter. I like to imagine he's going "IAAOOOWWWRR!"

Well done to Rich, who reminded me into the scientific research Grant & Naylor performed early in the 80's, where cats were taken to Mir and dressed in fancy suits and spats.

Also, hats off to Sacha, who bawks at explanations about dwindling genepools, and Ger, whose detailed investigations into Danny John Jules sex-life with modern R&B sensations and his close-knit relationship with his Nokia Phone made me wee.

Hello Everyone!

Monday's was, of course, Top Gear test-driver and founder of Bulgaria, The Stig.
Amongst the numerous entries (including Dan claiming it was a picture of himself),
hats off to Ellie, who sent in a picture of all future Stigs. In Power Rangers colours.

Hello Everyone!

Back!

Thursday's was The Aerialbots (Noble-but-Fearful Silverbolt, Skilled-but-Studious Skydive, Dangerous-but-Daydreamy Fireflight, Weak-yet-Bragging Slingshot and Strong-yet-Impulsive Air Raid) and their combined form Superion, lumbering behind them.
From The Transformers, ofcourse.

Well done to Luke, who named everyone and lamented Silverbolt's explanation for vertigo.
Because, as we all know, things that fly at low altitudes naturally get height phobia.
Like birds.
And airline pilots.

Also bonus mentions for Kat, who identified every member's Voice Actors; Simon, who recalls a story where turncoat Jetfire lies to Optimus Prime about the Aerialbots being psychiatrist-cases; and Niall, who was expecting Jimbo and The Jet Set.
