dynamite with a laser beam

This is something I was thinking about yesterday. I've always been a fan of various stuff so I thought I'd look back.

It started in the 1970s, with The Hardy Boys. (Now immortalized, but stupidly, on South Park. "OMG I'M GETTING A CLUE!"  - Trey Parker and Matt Stone are my age, so they totally remember this show.)

When I was little - six, The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries (the television program) was my first fandom. :D   If I was playing outside (my mom would holler for me) or doing something else, the second I realized it was TIME FOR HARDY BOYS, my parents had betta recognize I had to be in front of the big fucking television console staring at the screen, and nobody better try to talk to me or even breathe too loud.  I had a crush on Shaun Cassidy, the Justin Bieber of the 70's, and my mom favored Parker Stevenson.  (SHE WOULD.)  Shaun Cassidy is the half-brother of Partridge Family star David Cassidy, but he was too old and my cousins liked him, so... EW.

(Whereas of course Shaun somehow magically wasn't too old for me even though I was six.)

I had a Shaun face t-shirt and an IRON ON PILLOWCASE.  Maybe I kissed it goodnight. AHAHAHAHA.

Look at these GQMF crime-solving brothers!  If there was Hincest, I don't want to know. Please don't break my childhood.  


 

I also wanted to be Nancy Drew, for the record. If this show debuted now, I'd be all Joe/Frank/Nancy OT3 (Screw you, Ned Nickerson.)

( Video! )

So, I was on Look At This Fucking Hipster LOL'ing at the pics yesterday, and there was this one with... hipsters in a bathtub.  It screamed out for tampering, and Sam obliged me with some photoshop-fu. (He made a cool Time Agency recruitment poster, too.)  

51stcenturyfox :  OMG. I just woke up to... that? <3 This deserves a caption contest.
copperbadge : "Ianto felt it was his duty to point out that Gwen's choice of swimming cap would not increase her aerodynamics."




That reminds me that I have to pay the water bill this morning. I forgot to mail it...  *chugs coffee*

Well, I thought there was some humour here...

*Shares*

(Spoiler warning, naturally.)

( Potatoes? )

Instead of another massive comments party again tonight, join us in copperbadge's chatroom RIGHT HERE and discuss in real time instead? 

ETA: I'm hitting the sack too, but the chatroom stays open, so... go to town.  :D
