Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness. Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

[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.

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

"In the Night Garden" is a scary title, even. I'm going to write a horror novel around that title. Why would a childrens' show be named anything with "Night" in the title unless it was supposed to be scary? Good thing I never had kids. I obviously don't have the right kind of brain.

Whenever I'm sad, I'm gonna play that video of Rachel Maddow laughing helplessly at a parrot gittin' his freak on.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Woot, no coolant problems. Saved me a couple hundred bucks I don't have.

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

I told Dylan he could watch a movie or TV this afternoon since it's cold and rainy, and he requested Finding Nemo (or as he calls it "the movie about fish with Nemo and Nemo's daddy")

My work as a parent? Done.

(Yes, we skip the opening scene. It makes Mommy cry.)

You want scary kids' TV? In The Night Garden.

Huh. I must have a different definition of scary, because I found that mildly charming, but not very interesting.

Because books.

Me, too. Maybe after watching Teletubbies and Boobah with the kids, my brain is warped.

So many of the BBC kids' shows do seem like they would be better viewed under the influence, though.

Zeus, if I watched that while stoned, I'd be having mad flashbacks for the rest of my life. "Horrifying" might be a better description than "scary". Spiders are scary. Those things are like seeing a shoggoth outside the window.

aaaaahhhhh! The window! That terrible face! That terrible eye! Heaven save me! (And there the journal ended. Poor Dr. Wigglibus, never seen again.)

Here's the first part of an In the Night Garden episode. It's even weirder when they try to have plot. [link] Though the plot seems to be that there's a sort of train thing called the Ninky Nonk which travels around, and all the characters board.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

For me I think it was the language nonsense that almost made sense

Each character seems to just repeat the character's own name in various tones of voice. And every once in a while throw in another word or two, but it's mostly just their names.
