Sorry for the unexpected time off. I can only say that the single best way to mess yourself up for three consecutive days is to try to switch from nocturnal to diurnal within a 24-hour period. I dread the thought of checking email.
Meanwhile, watch this; it’s funny.

Tis a hoot, especially since I used to watch Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet as a wee one.
Don’t recall Captain Scarlet, but I adored Thunderbirds. Watching Thunderbirds Are Go again as an adult was an eye-opening experience. I had no idea Alan was gay!
That’s why they stuck him up on Thunderbird Six, natch.
Seriously, I didn’t remember the whole Busby Berkeley dance sequence in the nightclub on Pluto. It only makes sense in a Liza Minelli context.
And I know Tin-Tin was supposed to be whatsisname’s daughter, but I’m very much mistaken if she wasn’t getting it on with the Dad. The two of them lounged around at the base while sending the boys off all over the world. And don’t tell me Lady Penelope hadn’t got their number!
Did you ever see the AbFab where Lady Penelope plays Patsy? I gotta find me some AbFabTube…
Tintin was just Jeff’s ward, so they could get it on in a creepy yet perfectly legitimate English-style way.
Also, please correct me – it was Thunderbird 5, not 6.
During my three kiddie years in England, it was Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, Dr. Who, and The Magic Roundabout for me, yeeeeeehawwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!
If I could figure how to post sound on Blogger, you’d be listening to the Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and Mysterions themes right now . . . .
Well there’s tons of video on Youtube. I sense a new theme!
Hmmm, wanna alternate? Dueling International Rescue?
I can’t post more than half a dozen on a page before the whole thing goes down. So you’ve got a monopoly. I did manage two episodes of the Monkees, but that was before my compy started making the funny noises.
