I've just read this from start to finish. Then all the tags. I really need to find something better to do with my time.
Jeni's line that a meme is a self-obsessed yoyo made me laugh though. And something rikkor said, but can't remember what that was and not going back through it all again looking for it.

offlineMemberZoot was beyond cool, although I must admit to a fondness for Animal.
I think Gonzo appealed to me because he was so downtrodden by Kermit and Miss Piggy, yet his enthusiasm for his chicken acts never waned.

offlineMemberAnd quite rightly so!
Full of reprobates and ne'er do wells.Oddly, my extremely laid back, liberal hippy parents had a real 'down' on anything by Enid Blyton. I used to borrow 'Famous Five' books from the library and read them by torch-light in bed.
I once got caught with 'The Wishing Chair' and endured a lecture on Middle-Class indoctrination.Posted 1 year ago # -
