If so, I want to see them. Robotic transvestite Three Stooges. That'd be awesome.

You make a salient point BH. I've asked for the line to be removed. Blame it on the lateness of the hour and the fact that I just needed to get the relief they were gone off my chest.

And now I have a visual of three robotic Ayn Rand's marching around throwing pies at helpless individuals. This had better not follow me into my dreams...

Oh yeah! Jumping out of a pie! Singing! Like Stooge Transformers!

(Although now I come to think of it the Robotic Stooges sounds like some ill-advised Iggy Pop/Gary Numan collaboration.)

No. Robotic Stooges. Really very unfunny, even when I was a cartoon-loving child. And a not-inappropriate comparison.

Would these Robotic Stooges be part of that phase Hanna Barbera went through where they churned out tons of superhero-esque characters, some of them based on established ones? I have a vague recollection of a Flintstones-themed one...

stoatie, this

"Iggy Pop/Gary Numan collaboration"

sounds like a thing of beauty unimagineable.

Sorry BiP. I kind of grabbed the wheel and veered the conversation off the road there. And Grey, yr not wrong, I took my superhero cartoons very seriously when I was a kid, and this lot were definitely the worst of the worst. Especially as we're all now thinking of the Iggy Pop/superhero cartoon Hanna-Barbera could have been making.

Yeah, Stoatie, I stepped out for several days last week, and completely missed the photos. You make such a lovely couple.

heh. but you deserve equal thanks for the second. you've beautified my evening with that.

Blimey that was a quick moderation action on Grey Area's post. Should I edit my post that spun off into this line of cartoon-related chit-chat, d’you think? I never like to bother the mods with piffling edits, but I wouldn’t want to kick off another round of oogy-boogling.

More insane cartoon spinoffs:

Fonz and the Happy Days Gang
Gilligan's Planet
Hammerman

I also seem to remember one about Dom DeLouise's wish-granting schlong, but I couldn't find any info on it.

But oogy-boogling sounds like alot of fun?

Can we have an oogy-boogling thread? Pleeeeasse?

Oh bugger. I just found out John McGeoch (Magazine, Siouxsie & the Banshees, PiL) died a few days ago. That kind of sucks.

If you get the thread it may be thanks to Dom DeLouise's wish-granting schlong

boogie-oogie-woogie 'till you just can't boogie no more...? I can't figure it out. Is there special equipment required? Do we need to break out the special decoder ring we all got in that box of Shreddies(tm)?

Stick on a Roxy Music record, I’ll hold a rose between my teeth and grease my hair back with Aloe Vera, we shall oogy-boogle our way from forum to forum, all around the ‘lith until the sun comes up, my dears. And then watch cartoons.

Sorry, GA, I was referring to my initial ‘oh don’t say that or they’ll...’ comment, and whether I should have it removed from public view.

Pssttt! Haus has changed his name! And he may be heading in here to ‘shake down’ any ‘hustles’ that may be going on. Everybody act natural. Be cool, be cool!

Stoatie, that's always what i think of too.

In a parrot voice. I imagine two of them chatting endlessly

Pretty Polly!

Sorry, I was thinking more of a kind of general oogly-boogling free-for-all, have I said something wrong? Did that sound inappropriately leery?
Etiquette becomes rather more difficult when you're using nonsense words.

I will spread the moisturising nonsense,
All around the Lith,

Oh you git... I now have that being sung going round my head.

(Oh well, it got rid of yesterday's headline-inspired "Nazi racoon checked into his room only to find Hermann Goering" fiasco). (See yesterday's "The Sun" for explanation.)

The Sun on Monday is still my best moment of tab hypocrisy sice "Charlotte's a big girl now".

On Monday, the Sun displayed two pictures, one from an exhibition at the Spitz Gallery and one from a child porn site. What, it demanded, was the difference between these two images? NOTHING.

So, dude, by your lights you just published *two* pornographic images of children?

Nice one.
