Are you implying there are people who like that song?

Cherry. Let me but it this way. It's like the effects from the original Doctor Who.

*sneaks on in again*

All I can ever think of when I hear that song is the literal video version.

The video definitely makes the song worse. It's just. What on earth is going on there? The director had a really weird Public school experience, I reckon.

I think it's supposed to convey that the principal/teacher/whatever is lusting after her underaged students. But the way they chose to convey that was pretty damn weird, yeah. :lol: I see what they were going for with the surrealism, they just... missed. The way she looks also makes me laugh. There's a picture that my grandma has of my aunt in highschool and she looks so much like that. Being the favorite daughter, my aunt was taken to a really expensive photography studio. She had the feathered hair, too much makeup, then was surrounded by a sea of chiffon and is looking off to the side really seriously and the photos got that dumb cheesecloth "soft" effect. So now it's incredibly dated and awkward. Meanwhile, my mother got the cheaper standard photography, and it's significantly less embarrassing and dated. You can tell it's the 80s, but it's not "EIGHTIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Oh god. I was just juuuust looking at a family portrait we had done when I was 9. My dad and his glasses look so nineties. I can't imagine they were stylish even then. And then here's me. I look like a Bond villain in the making. I've got a prop and a slightly deranged look on my face. My mum looks like a fox, though.

I only had three professional portraits taken as a child. But there is a series of photos of my parents playing with me in the yard when I was a toddler. My dad had the goofiest hair ever. He was going bald, but he had longish hair (just above his shoulders), and my mom had 80s bangs. The portrait I had taken when I was 8ish is so ridiculous. I was wearing this dress my grandma got for me from a thrift store. It was my favorite dress. It was light blue with white polka dots and had this weird collar... Sort of like someone took a circle of fabric, cut a head hole in it, sewed some ruffles on the edges, and just sewed it onto the dress. I'm wearing a fabric headband and I'm grinning with missing teeth. I guess it's kind of cute/funny. :lol:

Watching that literal video. I think I may have seen it before. Oh, that Bonnie Tyler....

It's quite funny. :lol: Might even be better than the literal Safety Dance.

Safety dance, yay! Makes me miss the Ren Faire.

Ok, what's going on in your sig?

There is a show called Dexter. Just "Dexter."
Lead character, Dexter
Dexter's nemesis for a few seasons
Dexter's Laboratory, a children's cartoon in which the titular character is always being foiled by his sister, Deedee.

It's really only funny if you're familiar with both shows, but I thought I'd explain it anyway.

And the piece of wood comes in how?

It's a box, but it'd take so long to explain that it wouldn't even be remotely funny, and it'd also spoil a bit of the show if you ever decide to watch (and you should, because it's one of the best shows ever).

That really didn't have much bearing on the conversation, nor did it need to be said. But there you have it.

Sure, we'll go with that.

....Oh STICKERS!

Kat - I can take it in small doses. Although I do like Never Gonna Give You Up in a completely serious, non-ironic way. I realize it's corny, but I just like it. The rickrolling fad made me so happy because then I could listen to it without being judged. Just "OH, HAHA, I GOT RICKROLLED, I HAVE TO WATCH THE WHOLE THING NOW and I wasn't just dancing a little" I also love Tainted Love, but I don't think that's considered too terrible.

Ljos - Those. Are. Awesome. What are you gonna put them on?

Love the stickers!!

Lawl. My brother just bought a TV and he looked at the remote and said "I am disappoint. What is the use of a TV remote if it doesn't have a CAL button??" Not quite accurate, but still, he gets points for relating everyday conversations to Doctor Who. :XD

Oh shoot! I forgot about that. I'm still trying to locate good footage of the BCAs. Was it worth the watch, at least?
