Too much information

[ladyofastolat]

Curse you, internet, for making information so easy to find! It's quite killing conversation! I often find myself wondering about the answer to something, and mentally composing an LJ post about it, thinking that it might prompt a bit of conversation. Then I Google it, and find loads of other conversations about it, and all my questions and debates are answered, and never get around to making the post.

A few minutes ago, I was chasing a childhood memory. "Does anyone else remember...?" I was going to post, before describing the half-remembered item. "Oh! I remember those, too!" people might have said. "Now what were they called...?" And there would have been nostalgia and memories and brain-racking, and then someone would have supplied the name, and there would have been gratitude and praise.

But Google has told me. They were Wade Whimsies. And I never really liked them much, anyway.

I think most B7 fans would not call their rubber plant Avon! In my defence, I was a teenager at the time and didn't have any pets that I could name!! Though bizarrely, I was a Vila fan, but the plant felt more like an Avon to teen me!! *wonders about my mental state back then* :D :D

You could buy some of these shows on DVDs, but I have a feeling they'd feel very dated now. Though possibly still fun, for all that!! Just avoid Space 1999 - I watched that a few years ago and thought that Gerry Anderson's puppets shows had less wooden acting in it than this live action one!! I was a little disappointed, 'cos I used to love it as a child - ah well!

This is superb. Very modern art. :-D

Well, it was a dark-leafed plant and Avon liked to wear black/dark colours...! :)

Very modern art

Always thought there was an artist underneath that inability to draw much more than stick figures!! *is pleased*
