'Poetry Hour With Riona's Family' Would Be Fairly Unsuccessful.

Feb 21, 2010 09:31

Ahahaha, oh, dear, I fear my parents may be becoming concerned by my uneventful love life. An exchange I recently had with my father via the incomprehensible medium of Google Wave:

Riona's Father: Loved the VD Post!

MY DEAREST HARRIET
YOU COULD BE PALLY YET.
IF SOMEONE GRABS YOU WITH THEIR LARIAT
DON'T DILLY-DALLY, PET

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

Oh my goodness I would watch the hell out of Master Who!

I still want Perfectly Natural, in which David Mitchell and Charlie Brooker - towering sceptics that they are - defeat the supernatural through the power of their unwavering disbelief (probably in one episode they go to York and debunk the ghost of Big Daddy). Their car is tiny and rubbish, and not a source of pride at all, and Charlie can't drive anyway. Sometimes they have to eat at Little Chef.

Perfectly Natural sounds amazing, and I burst out laughing at the speculation on the Big Daddy episode.

Mitchell can't drive either, in fact. They're going to have to travel across the country and defeat the supernatural using public transport. Somewhere, Dean Winchester is crying and he doesn't know why.

I actually really, really want someone to write fanfiction of this.

AHAHA! I was actually wondering whether that was the case and they'd have to be relying on public transport (and possibly bicycles). I love that idea better actually. XD

I have a huge fondness for English versions of American things where the charm comes from the English version being a bit crap in comparison.

I would write this fic if I had any sense of plotting or dialogue or the ability to string more than five sentences together in a row.

I think I may love your dad for that last one, Marvell reference squee!

Oh, I'd read 'To His Coy Mistress' before, but I hadn't realised that was the actual origin of 'time's winged chariot'! (Then again, given the context, I should have guessed that was the reference.)

Hello, by the way, mysterious anonymous figure!

I wish my family was as cool as yours.
