Off the Cliff

Oh dear. Another time sink. Retronaut, that allows me to revisit the 60s and then be sorry I did. Though the pics of 60s London is exactly what I saw as a child there.

Found courtesy of sovay, who links Soviet Accident Prevention Posters with occasional HK Subtitle Factory translations. Accidents at the dinner table: 'Be careful with a spud', 'Be careful with forks' etc. And if anyone knows what an arbor is, I might be interested in hearing it. (Note for the squeamish: just colour drawings, but with occasional limbs caught in machinery.)

It's practically a point of honour in my family for the women to have no sense of humour. The Silly doesn't make us laugh. Only wordplay makes us laugh. Nous sommes Francaises after all, even if we aren't really. To compensate for this, I find even unwitting wordplay painfully funny- and I do mean painful. I nearly had an asthma attack over this, Chinese English subtitles for Revenge of the Sith. I too will warn for mild spoilers if you haven't seen it. But dear God, does this Silly make me laugh. 'I was just made by the Presbyterian Church.' 'He big in nothing important in good elephant.' 'I should really feeds you all dog.' 'Giving first aid the already disheveled hair projection.' Ahh. Once again- 'James Joyce on acid.'

(We all loved Python but then we said it was because Python was /witty/, though there's nothing witty about 'No-one expects the Spanish Inquisition!' It's just funny.)
