It's just that I'm at the younger end of the spectrum...

...whilst I'm at the gayer end. There we go DD AKA Berilia has just gone public.
What no claxons?
No flashing light.

So you're not screwing with us? This ain't a wind up?
I wanna know if somebody's trying to suss me...

Demon Drawer Posted Apr 20, 2000
No. No wind up. Check out Berilia http://www.h2g2.com/U116837 read his articles, see a certain style seep through. Just me in another guise.

Hi Lindy. I don't think I've met a certified femme fatale since I was watching Rocky and Bullwinkle. What you said about needing directions, you must be a blonde sort of brunette, hm?
*looks across room*
Never mind about orientation, guys, I've just discovered I can still fight!

*Lil moves nagashi so that punch slides by her face and uses the momentum to strike DD with an uraken (back fist) to the side of the jaw*
If my sensei knew I was brawling he'd kill me.

I think now's the time to ask:
Just what is this Rocky & Bullwinkle thing?
Brawl
Demon Drawer Posted Apr 21, 2000
Cartoon Squirrel and Moose. Chandler Bing has matching socks bought for him by annoying Janice in friends. Used to be on 'No. 42' on Saturday Morning CITV.
*DD sarts to prepare a defence against Lil, little did he realise he was facing a martial arts trained fighter*

Rocket J Squirrel and Bullwinkle Moose. Had a cast of characters like Boris Badenough and his femme fatale friend Natasha. Her stock phrase was "Yes Boris Dollink". Boris's was "Yes Fearless Leader". Those two were the cold war send-up. Then there was Dudley Do-Right the Canadian Mountie with all the brains of a green pea, who loved his horse more than Nell, the blond female. There were also Fractured Fairy Tales, which you would watch and wonder how could these be for kids? And then Rocky & Bullwinkle would have their own ongoing story complete with cliff-hangar endings.
Everybody still knows who Bullwinkle is: he was a sidekick, but he overshadows Rocky, the straight man. "Hey Rocky, watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat!"
*watches DD carefully, remaining in a ready stance*

Bullwinkle also had a poetry corner. And that's what brought out his unforgettable voice. I can still imitate it.
DD, I just don't feel like fighting anymore. I know you're Irish and fighting is as good as breathing cos I'm half-Irish myself, but I'd really rather buy you a pint and sit down and do Bullwinkle imitations.

A Guinness is it?
*gets herself a lager and lime and Walkers Crisps*
Rocky & Bullwinkle may well have been the first really subversive bit of satire disguised as a kids program. I think the alternatives were, like Kaptain Kangaroo and Happy the Clown.
