[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Well, as long as it's not the Red Wiggle. Of course, this leaves open the question of whether we're talking about Original Yellow Wiggle or New and Improved Yellow Wiggle.

I had to look it up. New Yellow Wiggle.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

So Wiggles are like Teletubbies, but less scary to grown-ups. (I saw the Teletubbies once. It was Uncanny Valley territory for me.)

You want scary kids' TV? In The Night Garden. The Girl had a traumatic encounter with an electronic singing version of Iggle Piggle, and now screams and runs out of the room if this is on TV. I'm just slightly nervous of the giant inflatable shapes.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm sorry, but there is no British children's television show more terrifying than the Tweenies. NONE.

Shir, those lectures look absolutely fascinating. You must come back and report on them.

I warned you. Bloody terrifying. How kids can watch that at bedtime is beyond me.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

In the Night Garden
