How cool!
One of my friends is going to be in the Opening Ceremonies.
She's in the bit representing the NHS. Keep your eyes peeled for it.

I love the sports team name Tottenham Hotspur more than just about any high profile pro team name. It just has a something.
Concur. It scans well.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Which is why I really want a new take on a Mary Poppins movie; she's not all sweetness and light, she doesn't sing songs with birdies. She's prissy, she can be petty and spiteful, and she is some sort of supernatural powerhouse. Maybe a movie by Guillermo del Toro, because he would give it the needed unsettling undertone.
Kickstarter that shit. I want it.

Heh. Disney owns all rights to Mary Poppins (IIRC), so there is NO chance of getting an adaptation that is more faithful to the books.

Though it makes me wonder if the filmmakers of Disney ever get bored and whip up their own versions of their classic tales.

Occasionally animators post roughs of interesting takes on the Disney canon.

Oh, who wanted an mp3 rip of Cookie Monster doing Share It Maybe? Do I remember someone expressing that wish?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Disney whipping. I'm sure it's a thing. At a place.
What's a reasonable lifetime for a mattress? I am willing to blame some of my sleeping problems (I'm back to having myriad--coming off the ambien and onto lunesta for a while). I am suspecting I could have a better mattress. I could turn it and bounce on it a bit, but the turning part would be a bit of effort.
It's not a normal boxspring--it's a futon mattress I have. I lost the instructions.
I feel I should gird my loins tomorrow, but I can't work out what I have is girdy

I seem to remember it being 10 years, but then Martha Stewart saying that it should be sooner.
