Separated By A Common Language: "Tickey Boo"

"It was all Tickey Boo"

Is how Opening Ceremony Director Danny Boyle described the production process of the semi-infamous Queen of England/James Bond sequence, the most shocking crossover of fictional characters since The Avengers movie.

So what does "Tickey Boo" mean? According to the Dictionary of (British) Slang it is NOT a way to describe the sound made by a clockwork ghost but actually an adjective meaning:

Fine, all right, in order. E.g."Yes indeed, everything is just tickety-boo, I've never felt better."

So the next time your mom/spouse/The Voices ask you how you day was and you'd rather not get into another argument about how 'eh, it was ok' is not a real answer, try "Tickey Boo" and fight instead about how you don't take other people's feeling seriously.

The Parade of Fictional Nations

Stay tuned!

NBC has secretly replaced the regular Phelps

With new and improved Ryan Lochte, lets see if viewers can taste tell the difference.


ETA: I wonder of Lochte likes Quiznos....

I had the weirdest dream last night...

I don't know if you saw the Opening Ceremony, though its likely if you are here you did, but outside of a North Korean Mass Game, that was a prime example of what a shared hallucination would look like.

50% Homer Simpson Halftime show, 50% leak of Scarecrow fear gas.

Anyway, I liked it, or at least I think I did, as predicted I was pretty hammered and didn't even make it to the Parade of Nations sober.

What I do recall is NBC's talking heads deserve a visit to the Tower of London for a lesson about knowing when to speak and when to as the locals might say  "shut your gob."

I Live By The River!

Has it been 2 years already?

Time for the London Games, time plus 2 days actually if you want to count soccer. Which two years ago I didn't care for but now I just love. Something must have happened, brain damage likely.

I'm off soon to watch the OCs and get drunk. The goal is to be hammered old-world style before Croatia comes out. Seeing how there are always more A countries then you think there are, odds are good.

I'm going to try and keep this blog up again for another 26 days, good luck to me (and i guess to all the people who've been working towards this their ENTIRE lives too I guess.)

I'm on Twitter now too @seth410 , lots of stuff there, I'm sure.
