Tim, next bad girl you write, name her Betsy.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Betsy isn't allowed to be evil any more. She should be fired.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The Martians! I loved the Martians.

It's sort of odd, realizing how much pop culture people miss out on by not being American parents. (Or former American children; the Martians and muh-nuh muh-nuh are from my childhood, not my kids'.) But there are millions of adults out there mercifully ignorant of "Elmo's Song" and HOW I ENVY THEM. They have never seen Barney give anybody a hug. They have never heard their children singing the theme song from "The Ketchup Vampires". How I wish I were making that up.
Liar, liar, pants on fire
There's no such thing as a Ketchup Vampire!

realizing how much pop culture people miss out on by not being American parents.
It's funny because people here keep talking about how Americanized our society is, how we get too much from tv and almost all our tv from the USA and the like.
I know that Barney was dubbed (horribly) into Hebrew, so there must be Israeli parents who hate him as much as Betsy. But the version of Sesame Street we got never had any Elmo in it, so no "Elmo's Song", and no "Ketchup Vampires".
The muh-nuh muh-nuh is from my childhood (which, as far as I know, happened some time after Betsy's, and some time before her kids'), and I think the Martians were in the "Sesame Street" we did get, but still. So either it takes some time for the cultural references to sift through, or there is still quite a difference that we (I mean, the UnAmericans, at least as much as I can speak for them, so just this one) are not aware of.
Um, topic. Awareness of current grown-ups tv shows in the USA is much more widespread in later years, more, I think, than children's shows.

"Ketchup Vampires" is actually a weirdie; it's a VHS tape we had, dubbed from the original German (!). It was a present from the grandparents.
