boring
Posted Jun 13, 2007
VYVYAN: Thought that'd shock you. Well, it's not true, because then, then you gotta say in ten words "what cornflakes mean to you". So I put: "Cornflakes. Cornflakes. Cornflakes, cornflakes, cornflakes... cornflakes, cornflakes, cornflakes, cornflakes."
RICK: Pathetic. You'll never win, Vyvyan.
VYVYAN: Why not?
RICK: It's only nine words.
VYVYAN: Oh yeah. "Cornflakes."
RICK: Anyway, you'll still never win 'cause nothing interesting ever happens to us.
VYVYAN: Stop being so boring, Rick.
RICK: Oh, that's nice, isn't it? That's very nice! Coming from someone as boring as you!
NEIL: Look! Can you two guys stop hassling each other, I'm getting really bored with it, all right?
RICK: Ooh! Dear me! Poor old Neil's getting bored! The most boring person in the whole world's finally getting a taste of his own medicine!
MIKE: Listen, I think we're overdoing the boredom motif in this conversation. It's time for us to extend our vocabulary.
NEIL: All right, all I said, Mike, was I was getting really bored!
VYVYAN: [SIMULTANEOUSLY with NEIL]
Yeah, we heard what you said, and it was very boring!

I can't stop laughing...

From wiki's entry on the dance of the seven veils:
>>>
The dance is parodied in a famous Goon Show scene (Dishonoured' 14th December 1954 - script on web) when Eccles in drag performs the 'Dance of the Seven Army Surplus Blankets', temporarily seducing the unfortunate Neddy Seagoon.
<<<
And as Jordan points out, it's classic h2g2 waiting to happen: F135418?thread=3577992&post=43193321#p43193321
I just had to put it here so I know where to go when I need a good laugh.

Locals flock to see icebergs
Nov 16, 2006
The scientists thought it wouldn't happen, but the icebergs floating off our southern coast have got close enough for a lands-end view.
It has been 75 years, but on Thursday icebergs could be spotted from the mainland.

How cool is that?
I'm trying to decide whether to do the drive to see them. They're getting smaller by the day of course...
