NEWSFLASH! I CAME BACK AROUND 1pm after a 2-hour abscence to the sight of something (I would ordinarily assume it was a mouse) pinging rapidly out of sight with a flash of white... ~ and there's the clue. Mice are dull all over. Robbies have bright white undercarriages. And even in "domesticated" states are far, far stealthier (not to mention speedier) than wild-born mice (how on earth the original batch was captured for the pet trade I've no idea. They must've set special traps to grab the trotting tubbies... Anyhow, after 48 hours of strictly no show whatsoever (not even a hint of her presence) to be quite honest I'd totally given up on ever seeing her again ~ alive or dead.Tonight I have made a special part towel-covered (for easier grip) paperback book-built "stairway to heaven" (the haven of her former captivity)... nearby I have put out a plastic capful of water, a tiny number of seeds and a courgette (zucchini) slice. Courgettes take teethmarks very well, so if she bites, I shall know!
I'm hoping somehow ~ miraculously, if needs be ~ I'll wake up to find Fat Mommy Trotter fast asleep in her old lightbulb-box. Or perhaps peering out with balefully suspicious eyes: "yeah, mate I came home. Don't flatter yerself; it was these two I missed." Yeah, I know precisely what she'd tell me, if only she could talk...
And now back to the dreadful 1980s:~
VIDEO:
Dynasty. Wasn't this TV gold..? Especially when the series' leading ladies got their claws into each other ~ literally. Alexis and Krystle Pond Catfight... View and enjoy. (PS Dubbed into German for further entertainment. Couldn't find an English version anyway...)

"Studio Catfight" has Alexis spitting at Krystle (what a vulgar spelling for a lovely name...) the immortal line: "it's not my fault you're barren"! Ooooh!!

keeping my fingers crossed x
ReplyDeleteI hope she's climbing that paperback book stairway home this very moment*!*
ReplyDeleteI never watched that show Dynasty so I'll give this video a miss *!*
YAY!!!!!!! She's alive and will be too hungry to stay away for much longer - and lonely. Great newsflash, cheeky Spherical! I wanted to be like Collins when I grew up, don't know why, she was a horrible character! Have turned out quite the opposite ;)
ReplyDeleteHang ON .... that was Dallas! Hhehhee
ReplyDeleteOh I do hope she comes back home soon!
ReplyDeleteGleds, your blog keeps freezing my puta when i try to comment - so I have been here but haven't been able to say anything. I'm just hoping this is going to work now!
Come home Spherical! we're all worried about you!
bem,olhando para os anteriores posts, que ja não lia ha algum tempo, apercebi.me que percebes portugues!!!! pois bem, sendo assim, hoje escrevo este post em portugues para te mandar um beijo e dizer-te que espero sinceramente que estejas bem.
ReplyDeleteSally: many thanks! I left some replies at yours... I just hope they weren't too juvenile!... (ooer!)
ReplyDeleteBimbimbie: hopefully she is indeed climbinb those paperback stairs to heaven. then she shall be safe and warm and nibbling on broccoli sprigs once again... (boohoo!!)
Anon: Dallas and Dynasty were easily confused apart from these following pointers:
1. Dynasty actually had homes commensurate with their exhaulted social status. Unlike "South Fork"... a FARM for JR Ewing. Yeah, right!
2. Dynasty had way higher production values, glorious sets... and Joan Collins decorating so many of them!
3. Though it was shot on 35mm filmstock, Dallas was transferred to nasty American NTSC video format... meaning the PAL encryption we got in Europe and in nearly every country OUTSIDE America was wooly, blurry and so yukky if THEY had to acce[t it as broadcast standard for a major show they'd turn it down flat.
4. No Joan Collins in Dallas
5. BOTH SHOWS: supposed to employ every trick in the soap opera guidebook, but despite: let's face it, the stories hardly flowed. Everything was drawn out to the n-th degree to squeeze just that little bit more story out... nasty business! I've gone back to good old EastEnders in the vulgarity of Albert Square, London E20. Though they may all be far far posher than me, I do at least feel I share the same planet with Walford's residents...
Spherical: did you hear Liz? Come back home immediately and I promise I shan't be too ragingly furious with you!
Sorry my thing doesn't work on your "puta" but what's that?
She's in, not out; she'll be back. Spherical, stop this nonsense.
ReplyDeleteAnd for me, it was the OTHER series I watched: Knots Landing. Oh the drama . . .
We are all rooting for ya. Spherical come home.
ReplyDeleteSofia: nom entiendo!
ReplyDeleteTutTut: Knotts Landing..? Dear me! That was on daytime only over here... nobody really watched it even with the 4-channel limited choice we had back then!!
And as for Spherical; she IS home!!
LoneGrey: She's back!
GREAT NEWS!! She better have a good story!!
ReplyDeleteHe he, loved this show....ahhh memories!
