Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

"I make mistakes, but I am on the side of Good," the Golux said, "by accident and happenchance.” – The 13 Clocks, James Thurber

I saw him on a talk show somewhere. I remember he seemed cheerful enough, there was a lot of hair, and then he kind of sang. There was a LOT of "Baby, baby, baby.... baby, baby, baby..." repeated endlessly to kind of robotic dance moves from his sneakered backup dancers. I remember thinking that it was really offputting hearing an apparent 12 year old singing anything with "baby" in it.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I looked it up, he's 16. Still creepy, though. His hair is too deliberately messy. D asked who he was and I tried to explain, then I said, "I couldn't name one of his songs but I think this one's called 'baby baby baby baby baby.'"

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Is anyone watching this season of "The Boondocks"?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

So, I've managed to nab a few episodes of The Mighty Boosh off Tivo and it's really freakin' funny.

So I went out and scoured the interpipes and found the music (which has yet to be officially release) and now own both "Ape of Death" and "Mod Wolves." You should be jealous.

I have been watching The Boondocks. The Red Ball was fantastic.

Compassionately intolerant

I have a feeling that you and Emmett will love Old Gregg.

We have not.

We eagerly await Old Gregg.

One of my favourite BBC comedies of the past decade. Complete genius.

I tried watching The Mighty Boosh a couple times and couldn't get into it but now I've got stronger than a moose stuck in my head so maybe I should give it another shot.
