Quiet Man Cometh
We're all mad here.
Go check out "Monty Python's Meaning of Life" if you're curious about button pushing. There's a curious statement about that at the end of the film, but it's all amusing.
Mom and I are still hard core into out British mysteries. She has the three Midsomer Murders box sets, watches Lewis each moment she gets, and recently picked up a number of Miss Marple DVD's the library was getting rid of. The amusing thing now is that we starting to recognize many of the actors. We're still not good with names though, and will just calle them by the characters we know them by, such as "Phyllis" or "Crazy Preist." Crazy Priest appears in Monarch of the Glen and Phyllis (aka wino receptionist) appears in a couple episodes of Midsomer murders and one Miss Marple with Joan Hickson). We've also spotted "Daisy" and "Richard" from Keeping Up Appearances as well. ;)
It's still the same with episode names too. I actually went though the Midsomer boxed sets we have and 'translated' each episode name into something we knew about the show, so "Faithful Unto Death" became "Bunny Cakes" (a marijuana cupcake that Barnaby unknowingly eats in the show) and "The Green Man" becomes "Two Blades of Grass" (a line from the episode).
Tea?
