Things I Grew Up On



Now I only remember ... MOJO JOJO!





God knows how many times I've seen this movie...





"They're dancing in the aisles in Sharjah!"

The peak of my cricket-fan fervor. I think Indians were meant to stay underdogs forever. I cannot support a dominant Indian cricket team.





Power Extreme Treme Treme! Also include minor fascination for Crystal Kane.





Fall over laughing and perish, die, cease to draw breath. The absolute funniest episode I ever saw.





Classic cartooning days. Boomerang on Cartoon Network.





Some images cannot be shaken from the mind of a young and innocent child, even after 15 or so years. Kindly note how they 'do it in the road'.





I'm yet to meet anyone of my generation who grew up not watching this. In the Hindi dubbed version.





The absolute pinnacle of underdog greatness.

Someday, Lady Luck is going to run out on you and leave you to face the wrath of millions alone and unaided.
If you plead hard enough, one might let you off the Torture Chamber; but don't bank on that mercy. Royalty has a reputation for senseless beheadings.

Confused n Baffled said...

That's true.

Marie Antoinette comes to mind.

Princess Stefania said...

That delightful creature?
Being as well informed of the French monarchs as you are, you would know, of course, that she said no such thing. She also did no such thing, just as she wanted no such thing.

But then, the impressionable young man that you are must be expected to believe every half baked rumour handed down over the years. It's what slapdash historians/newspaper reporters count upon.
Ah well. Don't let my strictures drag you away from your Daily Tabloid- or whatever it is you have taken up for fine reading.

Confused n Baffled said...

So, what you're really saying is that even utterly innocent royalty can lose their heads?

Interesting. Wickedly. :)

Princess Stefania said...

Fortunately for me, utterly innocent I'm not. So put that axe down, knave.

Confused n Baffled said...

I see a mouse scurrying for cover, first this way then that. Desperate, clawing, perspiring in it's own adrenaline - fighting to stay alive.

In the meanwhile,it threatens. Actually threatens.

The bane of royalty shall always remain its inability to understand when to grovel and when to command.

*axe thump. head roll*

You. Me. Gtalk. Now.
