My dad used to watch the New Zoo Revue, too, just to ogle Emmy Jo.

My favourite was on the five favourite quotes one:

"If he's not, he's missing his best bet."
(Sam's Dad, asked if their interior decorator was gay, 1984)

I guess it's just what dad's say worldwide. I also liked the tattoos I'm glad I didn't have one. I remember many years ago myself and a friend drunkenly contemplating getting the playstation symbols (all the X,O triangle and square nonsense) because at the time they were kind of cool. Am I glad we didn't do that one.

Though I could now say it was ironic and retro and be just so damn hip.

Wondering if I was the only human and everyone else was a robot placed here by God or a scientist - Five Somewhat Novel Compulsions I had at one time or another

We've all had that exact same thought before...kinda creepy when you're 16 years old, ain't it?

Those lists are amazing. Thanks.

So simple, yet so hilarious! That Merlin guy is a great writer (or at least, very witty). Thanks!
