2/1/2009 - *MONKEY MAGIC*

I remember when Monkey was totally the acest after school show on TV in the 80's (yes, I know I also loved Educating Marmalade and the Double Deckers AND De Grassi). But Monkey totally rocked. Kung-fu rocked. Big time. Super-bad dubbing and gender-indeterminite characters and pink fuffy clouds and dodgy special effects and all. It has one of the best theme songs EVER - watch and listen to the link in the sidebar!

And I found this excellent site put together by a fan called Lee (best name ever in my opinion) - if you want a total flashback go there and wait for the little clip of Monkey doing that blowing noise thing with his fingers to call his cloud! It also has all the lyrics to the theme song and the opening credit voiceover.

So cool. Our new Category Stories category is "I REMEMBER" - Steph picked it and it is such a goodun. I was tossing up doing Monkey or remembering when Chocolate Paddlepops tasted more chocolatey.... I think I chose the right topic in the end... *HA* Here's what I did done do (scanner did done chop off the theme song lyrics written around the edge....and ignore my crap writing...and spelling mistakes...).

This month www.scrapinstyletv.com is sponsoring us - YAY - so rad. So please join in, you have until Jan 31 to get your page linked - and we even have a flickr group now! Go check it out here!

Bye for now. I am off to go kick some demon arse and ride away on my fluffy pink cloud to find enlightenment...
