Karen's notes:
Zebedee - A character from the most annoyingly inane children's film, The Magic Roundabout. As Adam explained to me this morning, "he's got a spring up his ass."
DipDab - Adam had to look this up when he woke up (weird!), but once he did, he remembered loving them 30 years ago.
Toilet Showers - Here's my guess about this one: In Thailand, the toilets all have little hand-held spray nozzles that you can use to wash your nether regions. The Thais use this instead of toilet paper (in our case, we made use of both... sorry, probably TMI). At the end of the trip, Adam commented that he would miss them. They ARE refreshing.
Bogey - This is the British equivalent of "booger" in the States.
Don't Stop Believing - Shortly before we left for honeymoon, Adam got obsessed with the new version of the song from the show Glee. We listened to it every morning for two weeks. I have to admit, it does rock.
are you going to put the quotation marks?! it doesn't seem the same without them!
ReplyDeletelove this entry, by the way. I look forward to them every night (since I'm in the western US, I get them at night).
Nice
ReplyDeleteYou have a unique way of expressing things which i like and a wild imagination too!
ReplyDeleteDip Dabs remind me of Dippin' Sticks. Too much dip not enough stick, lol.
ReplyDeleteI've got my whole family tuned into the blog now!
Hey yeah, that's what was different; no quotation marks! Good eye laneylikewhoa!
ReplyDeleteLMAO!!! What a great bunch of quotes! Love the duo audio and the way he says jiggedy! too funny!
Now, I'm going to bed...(1:38 here in Saskatchewan, Canada).
Mmmmm Dip Dab's.
ReplyDeleteIs Adam anywhere near as vocal as this when he has put a few beers down his Neck?
If so, does he want to go for a pint, haha.
I've been sick with a head cold, and this has made me feel better than any medicine! I laughted so hard when I saw:
ReplyDelete"I made snot pictures. I sneeze in my gallery, all day. Lots of different colours. Making bogey money."
THAT's what I should be doing! Making bogey money! lol! Thank you Adam and Karen! Love to you both
Toilet showers???
ReplyDeleteI put the quotes in. Thanks for catching that, guys.
ReplyDeleteWait! I think I just figured out what Adam meant by "toilet showers": In Thailand, the toilets all have little hand-held spray faucets that you can use to wash your nether regions. The Thai's use this instead of toilet paper (in our case, we made use of both... sorry, probably TMI).
ReplyDeleteAt the end of the trip, Adam commented that he'd gotten pretty into it. They ARE refreshing!
Just added the toilet shower info to the blog post
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteJust a quick correction (OK, so I'm being pedantic)... Bogey = booger in the US, not boogey...
Fly soup... Classic!
Jon
The Magic Roundabout was also a children's programme loooooong before it was a film. It was rather good. Never seen the film though so couldn't possibly comment.
ReplyDeleteOh Karen! The Magic Roundabout FILM might be "annoyingly inane" but the original cartoon series is beautiful, original, ever so slightly trippy and a huge part of every 40-something's upbringing. The movie is not worthy of that noble title. I spit on it. Pah.
ReplyDeletei have to say i grew up on the tv programme as well as other classics like the womble's, the clangers, jackanory, crackerjack, captain pugwash, battle of the planets amongst many others!
ReplyDeleteoh dear i am really showing my age.
karen's only exposure to the former is the film i am afraid to say. the tv show is far too trippy!
hey val, 30-somethings also grew up on it!!
ReplyDeleteWOW, you continue to shock and amaze me!
ReplyDelete"I make snot pictures..." -perhaps on a box of tissues? At least when your sick you'll get an occasional chuckle; I think Anonymous above would buy a couple boxes right now.
The fly soup is the one that made my morning better!!!!! How funny is that???? This blog is such a kick start to my day - and I thank you over and over for that!!!
ReplyDeleteThe sleeping mind is just fascinating! I just love your blog.
ReplyDeleteHe speaks the truth. There never was enough dab, and it always came off the stick.
ReplyDeleteI have both Glee soundtracks. So much fun on car trips
ReplyDeleteMagic roundabout was amazing when it was a tv series.......but the film is a load of rubbish! and i love Dip dabs too.......you can still by them in some little newsagents!
ReplyDelete"Time for bed, said Zebedee. BOINNNG"
ReplyDeleteAs a Yank also married to a Brit this has been part of my cross-cultural education, thus proving that inanity knows no boundary.
Also Val and adam, 20 somethings grew up on it too!
ReplyDeleteAbout toilet showers: Here in Finland (and I think in other Nordic countries too) it's very common to have a toilet shower, better known as bidet shower in a toilet. We use toilet paper too, so it's used to the same purposes as a traditional bidet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bidet). I've heard of Finnish people who missed it in UK so much they ordered one from Finland to be installed in their bathroom.
ReplyDeleteFYI, you can install the "toilet shower" at home. Just go to your local hardware store. We have them in my house. . .
ReplyDeleteIn Japan we have a toilet shower too, two different types. The toilets here have many interesting things, the seats are heated, they have a button you press and a nozzle comes out and sprays your bum with warm water and there is a ladies one that..well...washes other parts too with warm water haha it's kind of shocking when it first comes out at ya but in Japan they make use of both toilet paper and shower. In some public restrooms there is a button to press that makes a toilet flushing sounds haha so others don't hear what you are doing and there is a button with air freshener in it that sprays out.
ReplyDeleteI really want to go to the loo in Japan now...
ReplyDeleteI loooove Dip Dabs (always used to eat loads of the sherbert loose then eat the lolly separately, though) and the old Magic Roundabout is indeed wonderful. Apparently originally it was a French film that was then split into segments and re-narrated to make the kids programmes here, but I'm not sure if that's true or just a rumour.
hmmm....jack-in-the-box (now circa 2010; adam-sL(-o-)EEps-in the box) the shifty,
ReplyDeletespring in his step-trusting Zebedeye-on IT! toy one cranks up the volume with?

I think Needle-dick bug fucker is the best one yet... or at least for today! And it's so nice to know there's a whole world out there wanting to hate him (or her) too! lol
ReplyDeleteI so love coming here every morning for my daily dose of funny!
Thanks K&A!
Sherri (Canada)
I much prefer the Rock Sugar version "Don't Stop the Sandman". Basically, they took the "Don't Stop Believing" lyrics and put them to background music reminiscent of Metallica's "Enter Sandman".
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mr4HffbAUTk
I'd like this version more if the promise made in the initial few frames of a pure acapella version was carried through the entire thing.
Rock Sugar is way better!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, my six-month old son absolutely LOVES the Glee version of Don't Stop Believing. He can be crying up the biggest fit and we put it on...instant smiles. Too cute!
ReplyDeleteRandom comment: I think "The Magic Roundabout" was revoiced and released as "Doogal" in the US a couple of years ago. It didn't do very well here, so I'm guessing it was just as inane.
ReplyDeleteLOL OH my gosh, how did you not keel over laughing with the bug f*cker one? That's hysterical
ReplyDeleteHahahah, Great!!
ReplyDeleteRiikka: Not all Nordic countries - in Norway, toilet showers are not common at all. I don't believe I've ever seen one in Sweden or Denmark either, besides when bathrooms are equipped with a bidet, which again is fairly uncommon. I encountered toilet showers a lot in Bangladesh, though.
ReplyDeleteI used to love Dip Dabs too and I'm with Adam on the Dip-to-Dab ratio :).
ReplyDeleteThis place never fails to make me laugh!! How fun to have pics of the quote items today. I looove the audios - thanks for every single one! So funny to get an education today about alternate shower experiences. :)
ReplyDeleteLOL at
Adam - "a flushed bottom is a happy bottom, i say!"
dreamer5565 - "I really want to go to the loo in Japan now..."
And the unexpected never quits. Imagine the face of the guy who just got told to step outside, and then instead of some version of "and I'll tear you a new one" he hears "there's a whole world out there..." How could he do anything but stop and say "wow, dude, seriously, that was an awesome insult..."
Thanks for the Steve Perry clip, Prof Z - classic - and I loved the hilarious intro to Dochi's Rock Sugar clip!
Thank you again for the daily laugh. As another American married to a Brit, I enjoy daily Adam impersonations. It's become part of our repertoire -- whenever my Brit wants to be rude (which, I have to say, is shockingly often here in the States; he's realized he's far more charming here than in England), he adopts sleep talkin man's voice ... and I laugh and laugh and laugh. Thanks for the extra hilarity.
ReplyDeleteHeather
Oh I'm so glad you guys are back! Where about in Thailand did you go? I'm orignaly from Chaing Rai :) I live in New Zealand though. Yeah I missed toilet shower too T_T
ReplyDelete2nd guy here, just saying ita NOT Zebadee u need to keep an eye on. Its the other one, Zeebad.Hes cold. No, really, hes litrelly freezing (he turned a moose blue)!(wait Zebadee and Zeebad=2... i need a doctor...) Oh and Dib Dabs,well, Dib=Dab=2 words YET AGAIN THE MAGIC NUMBER! HAHAHAHAHA! (starts luaghing insanly cos hes had too many numbers 2s in his coments)(also, i have never heard of dib dabs)
ReplyDeleteAnd now my 2nd comment. Im sane again but hold on... Sane=Insane=2 states of mind... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH (runs screaming out of the door)
ReplyDeleteI live in Thailand and so the Thai Toilet thing annoys me, did you guys ever go to the hardcore thai toilets? Or Squatters is another name for them? They are normally revolting!
ReplyDeleteI knew who Zebedee was when I saw his name, LOVED that book as a child!
I wonder if my sleep talk is as random as this~
phimchai - we were an hour outside chiang mai. simply incredible place.
ReplyDeleteI'm sad to say that The Magic Roundabout was turned into the most awful movie here in the States, called "Doogie". It absolutely HAD to be better in French, cuz it was the worst 1.5 hours I have ever spent. My 5 yo son (at the time) loved it, altho' he had a hard time with the 60's references from the rabbit.
ReplyDeleteDon't stop believing DOES rock.... but daaamn, so does your husband hahahaha, This blog rocks!
ReplyDeleteToilet showers in India too. If you're lucky. Squatters abound as well. How do people with bad knees manage?
ReplyDeleteDon't Stop Believin' gets me all jiggered up too! It's a favorite for my friends and I to sing at karaoke bars!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog - keep up the great work!
OMG I have become so addicted to this site Makes me laugh hard its a great way to start the day me and my coworkers read and listen every morming Great Stuff Keep it up

Having encountered a few 'NDBF's on the Web, I think that quote could serve well as a sort of entrance sign for every forum and chat room online....... 7X=Q
ReplyDeleteThe snot pictures are maybe a Blackadder reference. Baldrick made them in the series set in WWI.
ReplyDeleteI sometimes seem stuff that is vaguely familiar from The Young Ones (the lentiles e.g., Neil was always making them) and Bottom too.
being in my 50s i didn't grow up with magic roundabout but it was cult post-class TV watching for college students of my generation - with and without psychedelics - i had no idea there was a movie - why do they insist on ruining these things????
ReplyDeleteI love glee! that song rocks!!
ReplyDeleteAre Dib Dabs like Fun Dip is in the US? That's what I'm picturing but the "sherbet" reference above made me rethink it.
ReplyDelete"Snot pictures" reminded me of an episode of "The Suite Life on Deck" (a Disney channel show starring the Sprouse twins). As for Dip Dabs, in the United States, we have Fun Dip and some other name that I can't remember. There is always too much "dip" (powder) and not enough candy stick or sucker, really.
ReplyDeleteMagical roundabout is called Dougal in the states. :)
ReplyDeleteLOOK LOOK LOOK if you are looking for all of your old sweets come to candyland join the facebook page *candyland sweet shop*
ReplyDeleteYes, I remember Dougal. I was fascinated by it and I feel like it made me cry. I don't remember. I think it was cute until the 6th time I saw it.
