Posting in a fit of giggles, actually I think I may have hurt myself. LJ is hilarious today.
* Jaws Redux - Summarizing this just doesn't do it justice. Hilarious post.
* Apparently the Doctor Who fandom has its panties all in a twist over...you guessed it! The length of Amy's skirt. Amy is the Doctor's new companion and her skirt, dear reader, happens to be far too short. The Doctor Who fandom has apparently been reading too many Victorian writers and is beginning to sound a bit like the Victorians...either that or they are just a wee bit on the prudish side or possibly batty, maybe even a little bit of all three? Seriously? I wore short skirts when I was Amy's age. WTF?
* "Muslins are responsible for people no longer trick-or-treating on Halloween." (Granted, I'm pretty sure this was a typo, (I certainly can see myself making this mistake - been there done that, but what a beautiful typo!). I really hope it's not a typo - because the idea that people don't want to trick or treat because of a fear of "Muslin" (fabric) or the need to wear Muslin.. or the dreaded Muslin! Is just well perfect...besides it makes about as much logical sense as the alternative - "Muslims are responsible".)
Muslin (English pronunciation: /ˈmʌslɨn/, or less frequently: (/ˈmjuːsɨn/) is a loosely-woven cotton fabric originated in India, which was introduced to Europe from the Middle East in the 17th century. It became very popular at the end of the 18th century in France. Muslin is most typically an unbleached or white cloth, produced from carded cotton yarn. It is often used to make sewing patterns, such as for clothing, curtains, or upholstery. Because air moves easily through muslin, muslin clothing is suitable for hot, dry climates.
[Actually people don't trick-or-treat because of a series of urban legends that scared the pants off of them starting way back in the 80s - with the razor in the apple. People are so gullible - they'll believe anything - if it is from a slightly reputable source, such as a newspaper columnist or anchor person. But let's not quibble, it's all the muslin's fault.]
