The dog's bollocks does indeed mean a good thing. Much like the donkey's knob really.
FayJay I think they repeat Angel at midnight on Saturday, if you miss it.
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

Strawberry disappointment.

Got it. Thank you. I could have probably figured it out. If it was just "STB was dog's bollocks." That would probably mean bad. "STB was the dog's bollocks." is obviously good.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

I'm patting myself on the back right now.

Did anyone else play a game where one person randomly called out letters one at a time and everyone else took a step forward if that letter was in your name. You took two steps if it was a capital letter and it was decided pre-game as to whether middle names were included. I think it was more a girls game.
This game popped into my mind the other day whilst I was checking out that baby name internet site. You'd get some strange results with some of those.
Something else I've noticed over the last few years is the dearth of children playing in playgrounds. It seems to me that as councils replaced risky 'they'll sue us if their kids hurt themselves' equipment with 'unable to do your kid an injury' equipment kids sorta stopped using the playgrounds. Maybe other places NSM.

It may also be the lack of responsible adults to take them there.

Yes! It was like What Time Is It Mr Wolf, a little.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm very upset about the lack of seesaws. In Michigan, at least, the two kids on a seesaw is still the symbol for a playground, but I looked for 2 years and couldn't find any.

They put in an additional new playground at my elementary school when I was in fourth or fifth grade. The old playgrounds (there were three of them) were the old metal climbing things, swings, slides, etc. The new one was the kind made of logs, with little tiny safe plastic slides, a few things to climb, and a bunch of weird things like those spinny tic-tac-toe boards that we couldn't figure out what to do with. I didn't like it because it was too much stuff in one place. The old playgrounds took up a lot of room. If you were on the swings, and someone else was on the balance beam, there was a lot of space in betwen you. With the new thing, you couldn't move without bumping into other kids, too much of the stuff was just random and pointless, and very little of it was actually fun.

They used to have a see saw at Mr. Heather's bar. Not the wisest of toys to give the drunks.
