Karen's notes:
Nuns on a tandem bike - Could someone please please please draw us a cartoon of this!?
Dip and lick - Adam must be talking about something like this:
Remember these? You lick the sugar-stick to get it wet, then dip it in the sugar-powder. Oh, 1980s, a beautiful time free of all this silly talk of nutritious snacks.
Reminder: Only four days left of free shipping on shirts. It ends Sunday.
Added later: Oh, wow! I just realized that, back in March, STM talked about Zebedee and DipDab on the same day. Whoa! (To explain, Zebedee is a cartoon character with a spring instead of legs, and DipDab is just like DoubleDip!) Go check it out,!
..."Goodness, Gracious, and me...."
ReplyDeletelove you STM/STW
Surely STM was trying to be inspector Gadget in the second one? Such a flash back from my childhood that contained lot of the dear inspector. :D
ReplyDeletego go gadget legs.....
ReplyDeleteOh man, now I'm jonesin' for a Dip and Lick (I forget what they were called here - Dipsticks come to mind). That was one of my favorites growing up back in the 80s when, like Karen said, no one cared about the lack of nutrition or the fact that you were eating sugar with a sugar dipper. The only thing you had to worry about was not giving into the temptation to taste the stick sans sugar. If you did, you were relegated to using your finger to eat the rest of the sugar.
ReplyDeleteI loved the "Goodness, Gracious and Me" quote. I went to a Catholic College (even though I'm Protestant) and would occasionally see some nuns biking from one place to another, reminiscent of Miss Gulch riding her bike in The Wizard of Oz. And trust me, the nuns were just as scary as Miss Gulch!
I can't help thinking he meant something else with "dip and lick". ;o)
ReplyDelete"Goodness, Gracious, and me" should go on a t-shirt.
While I don't have nuns on bikes, I can give you nuns in bumper cars:

And on a side note, "You wanna kiss this face" - Please oh please can you put this on a shirt??
Happy Sleep Talking!
I remember dip sticks! We would throw the sticks away, and just pour the sugar in our mouths!
ReplyDeleteAfter we got older5, we would make roach clips out of the sticks, and save the sugar for the "Munchies" later! Ahh!!! Cannabis!
Two Nuns were riding a tandem along Wapping Warf in Bristol. The Nun on the back seat (the stoker) remarked "I've never come this way before", the reply "Must be the cobble stones"
ReplyDeleteThe 80's? We still have those now (and my brother love them)! They're pretty crazy, sugary sugar dipped in sugar.
ReplyDeleteFor shits and giggles I giveth you The Smoking Gun...i mean Nun! Actually two of 'em. On a tandem cycle built for two...
ReplyDeleteEat yer heart out STM - they really do exist ;)
My Tandem Nun Picture link - CLICK TO SEE IT
Wonka definitely still makes the dippy-candies :-) I pull them out whenever my residents need treats to keep morale up
ReplyDeleteIn the States they are called Fun Dip or Lik.m.aid. They are a Wonka product.
ReplyDeleteHey, Bonnie... Love the Nuns in bumper cars picture. In fact, it must be All Nun Day at that theme park that day because when you look at the spectators all around, there are ONLY nuns! lol
ReplyDeleteLove STM every single day.
My kids were whining first thing in the morning, just non-stop. Finally lost it, told them to shut up, and used "Your voice, my ears. BAD COMBINATION!!!" without thinking, then sent them to their rooms. Thanks for the addition to parental frustration language.

ReplyDeleteWhile not *technically* nuns on a tandem, if you look just right that's what it looks like ;-)
Is number 4 the "Something adorable" post that you were saving for later.
ReplyDeleteDip-N-Lik aka Fun Dip aka Lik-M-Aid still very much exists.

Adam must have buried memories of watching the cartoon whilst eating the sweet as a child!
ReplyDeleteHere's a Nuns on a Bike cartoon I made for you! http://picasaweb.google.com/laurenelizabethluciapatrick/STMCartoon#5538388574899416178
ReplyDeleteWow, I can't believe no one has pointed out what an amazingly good mood STM was in. There was no cussing, no rudeness, He even said thank you! He got to see nun on bikes, eat dippy sticks (open for debate, I understand), fun jumpy springs, and by the sounds of it, topped off his delightfull day being romantic. ~Sighs~ Wish I could have such amazing days ^.^
ReplyDeleteIt's not just for the 80's. My 3-year-old got some trick-or-treating. Fun Dip!
ReplyDeleteoh oh now I want one. I rarely got one when I lived in S.C. back in the 80s. the stores there never really seemed to carry them all that much.
ReplyDeleteI'm worried about STM being so nice today. lol watch out for the low ceilings inspector Gadget!!!!!
Loved Fun Dip when I was a kid. I also used to eat those Bottle Cap candies.
ReplyDeleteFun Dip/Lik-M-Aid was the BEST!! And who could forget Dots? And the wax bottles with the different flavored liquids inside?? YUMM! :)
ReplyDeleteYou can still buy Fun Dip :]

How are you doing the players for to show like this into the post? I want to make something like this for my blog but I don't find the widget.
ReplyDeleteFunny that everyone refers to the eighties with those. I buy them all the time still. I guess where I live is just awesome.
ReplyDeleteIn the UK, most sweets from the 80's can be bought from an online shop called aquarterof.com
ReplyDeleteI have had stuff, including the dips, from them and it is just awesome to taste it again
They are called dounle dips and you can still get them.At least in the UK.Yum
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh I saw a nun on a bike today! :D
ReplyDeleteCrazy Adam.
