Hmmm, this post seemingly didn't reach the least. Here it is again in
all it's banality...

Yeah, they're pretty wicked. My friend tried to watch a two hour
compilation tape of them but it was too much. Mind overload... Still,
I'm sure it was Dastardly and Muttley. Muttley 'cos he's a dog. Pingu is
wicked too, but again, watching lots of episodes in a row is a bad idea.
Thus, my compilation lays dormant most of the time. Loveable as he is,
after more than three five minute installments, you want to strangle the
little bastard and all his plasticine pals. Maybe that's how they get
the noises for that show...

It isn't that old. I'm but a spring chicken of 21, and I remember it
(but then again I remember Larry Grason doing the Generation Game ("Shut
that door" - what a freak!) and that was supposedly before I was born.)
Apologies to the Nazi 'clean-up IDM' hordes for the wildly off-topic
post, but sometimes there's more to life than (and yes, sometimes it
makes it to this list).
Gb.
PS Please, somebody sample 'Red & Blue'. It was wicked. Or
alternatively, release the Pingu/Red & Blue theme tunes back to back on
7". I'd be walking in a Moogie wonderland if this ever happened.
PPS Back to Smedleys. Aren't they purveyors of fine (or not so fine,
I've never tasted them) soups? Schluurp.
