Unutterably Silly Neko-Chan's T-Shirt list

[Taylor514ce]

I weep with joy to see these. I've birthed a meme. Someday I'll be a grumpy old man sitting on a park bench and see some child whiz by on their levitating skateboard with a "retro" blue one next to the fish t-shirt, and turn to tell someone "I invented that phrase, back on an e-book site". The poor unfortunate recipient of this tidbit will stare at me blankly and ask, "what's an e-book"?

But that will give you an adequate defense after you pummel the wee tyke with his skate board.

Yes, because by then they'll just be called "books."

So much for my expectation that there was a MUS-onic hand-shake to allow us to identify followers of the true silliness....

note that i did specify that the direction (i.e. "towards" or "away") you choose to run in depends on your own tendencies.

and there is a MUS-onic secret hand-shake. how could you even doubt that ???

Wiggles eyebrows. Touches nose. Shrugs with one shoulder. Holds hands just so.

... and gets led away by the men in white coats (who are shaking their heads that it should happen to one of their own).

So long as you don't smile, cry, or otherwise openly express your feelings visually, PH. :emotifaction:

I know what you mean, I'm still bemused to have inadvertently coined the "Unutterably Silly" thing.

I put my "Blue One Next To The Fish" mug in one of our two kitchen cabinets (the more visible one, naturally) that have glass doors ... my wife hasn't noticed yet (professor type, you know, and I put it above eye level). I'm hoping I make it 'til we have folks over next before she does -- I want them to ask about it, of course.

I'll try to get you at least a paraphrase.

Now I'm not saying that there is a connection and I'm not saying that there isn't a connection; but, VR ordered a fish T-shirt that his human wore with a Blue One button just before Ike came to Houston. Shortly after the storm passed he had power and air conditioning while most of the city and the region is still without electrical power.

This is the power of the Blue One Next to the Fish!

I read that last line which immediately reminded me of this apparently true story about the first Star Wars movie. Apparently, Darth Vader was to say to Luke "Feel the power of The Blue One, Next to the Fish" but somehow it didn't quite ring so George Lucas changed it to "The Dark Side". There were a few other changes that he made and here are the original lines:

Yes, I understand Gene Roddenberry had originally scripted "To boldly go to the blue one, next to the fish!" but the network made him change it.
