ink_n_impIn other news...I've rediscovered my love for the TV show "The Man from U.N.C.L.E.". I had started watching it about a year, two years ago, when I was in my big Diana Rigg “The Avengers” kick, but recently I started watching it again over at AOL video (I love me free streaming video!)
Much like it’s a damned good thing I never knew about the Scarlet Pimpernel musical in high school because my musical theater singing Tourette’s was obnoxious enough, it’s a DAMNED good thing I didn’t know about “Man from U.N.C.L.E.” when I was at my prime Nick and Nite watching age (about 5-7). I had enough bad influences as a child, and I would have ENTIRELY play-acted as Napoleon Solo in my backyard.
Something you MAY not know about me was when I was a wee little Nella, but thanks to Nickelodeon and Nick at Nick I was a HUGE Spy/Superhero junkie. Scooby Doo, Inspector Gadget, Underdog, Get Smart, Batman (the one with Adam West), etc etc etc…
If it had a superhero or a spy in it, I would watch it. And worst, I would PLAY it too.
I'm a little hesitant to ask my parents if they ever listened in to me playing in the backyard, cause I know I was yelling all sorts of INSANE things as I pretended to be Maxwell Smart kneeling on dying people's livers and other organs (MY GOD I LOVED THAT GAG), or Underdog trying to keep his ZOMG SECRET IDENTITY away from Polly whatsherface, or shouting “Holy (insert something clever here) Batman!” as Robin (…what? I really, really wanted to be Bruce Wyane’s young charge. I had a Robin PJ set with a cape and everything. I was Robin for Halloween in Kindergarten! I WANTED TO BE ROBIN!!)—
Honestly, I do enough embarrassing things as an older Nella, I don’t need the reminder of the embarrassing things I did as a wee little one. ^_^
