#25 - How does Teflon stick to the pan?

That thought just crept into my head.
If nothing ever sticks to Teflon, how does it stick to the pan?
And if LSD makes people see things, maybe we should give it to the blind.
And why are they called Apartments when they're close together?
And why are they called "buildINGS" when they're already built?
And if a door is open "ajar", therfore a jar can be open "adoor".
And why do we park on "driveways"?
If a fly has no wings, it should be called a "walk".
Do vampires get AIDS?
How come wrong numbers are never busy?
and
If all the nations in the world are in debt... where did all the money go? No wonder we're in recession!

Thought #1 - More old school TV shows.

Its time. I thought I might share a couple more of my childhood shows.

Daria

I've been watching re-runs of this show lately. Its just THAT cool. I actually GET the jokes now, considering I was too young to understand them before. Its pretty hilarious. If I had half the wit Daria and Jane have, I think I'd be happy with myself. Seriously, if you've never watched the show and you dig a bit of satire on teenage angst, watch the show. Sure its a little cheesy at times, but it works.


The Animals of Farthing Wood

Damn did this show rock back in the day. A bunch of animals fighting for their land. Good ol' Fox and Badger, great leaders. Then the lady fox Vixen came along. Ruined it! Damn kids with their music. And no-one liked Scarface, Mr. evil fox.


The Adventures of Tin Tin

Now this was a classic show. Good grief this brings back memories. Tin Tin, Snowy the dog, Professor calculus, Thomson and Thompson (The two dudes with the epic hats), Captain Haddock. Absolute class all the way. I still remember he used to travel the world and whatnot, i.e. Tibet and all that foshizzle. Man, what I wouldn't give to do what he did. I seriously don't want that haircut and that dorky outfit.


Aaahh!!! Real monsters

This show I tried not to miss when it was on. It only ran for a short while, and I can't even remember what they did, but I know it was pretty funny. One of the darn shows that moved to nickelodeon. Fark. Ickis, Oblina and Krumm. The Gromble was mr. Head monster if I remember correctly. How come I can remember this stuff but have trouble remembering what I had for dinner last night?


The Angry Beavers

Was it just me, or did this have one of the most catchiest opening tunes. Good ol' smart Norm and dimwitted Daggett. This show still rocks. Its actually still on, hijacked by nickelodeon of course. But its surprisingly still going. My god, I thought today's shows are being taken over by shit like what's on usually during "toasted Tv". Man, screw that, Cheez TV was the rad!

Animorphs

To be honest, I think the books were bigger than the show (hence why I could only really find a picture of the book), but it was still wicked. To be honest, all I remember is Tobias, and that's about it, and whatever the hell that alien thing is. That creeped me out when I was younger, like, really creeped me out.


Brum

Legend. Pure Legend. I don't know anyone who didn't like this show. All he did was drive around and shake, but apparently he's a hero. He's my hero. I want to be Brum when I grow up.


Thought #2 - Fail moment of the day.

As I was in adelaide for my cousins wedding, I decided, HEY, I wanna hit the town. So I head into the city after the wedding on saturday night with Stef, a mate I met through the wedding, thinking it'll be a top time to head to the city. And right I was. Having a great time with more peeps I met down there, after quite a few drinks (and quite a few at the wedding too... loving expensive champagne) I was feeling quite drunk, and a bit peckish. So we decided to leave the final bar to head down to the local maccas for a bite to eat. I walked in first and almost puked, as it smelt like many hobos.
This was wrong. I think you'd be glad to hear that I didn't eat from there. Yesterday, I found out that this was video taped, put on YouTube and then apparently the Newspapers got a hold of it. It seems that this Maccas is in deep McShit.

Anyhoo, I must be off to amuse my mind elsewhere.

Hooroo all!

Ah! Real Monsters and the Angry Beavers were the shit. And I've been trying to hunt down episodes of Daria, just to give it a shot, I remember my parents watching it back in the day. Now that I think about it, Animorphs was a pretty hardcore kid's show. I mean, bugs that crawl into your ears and control your mind? Pretty scary/awesome stuff. Keep it up, bro.
