Of Dagnabbits & Barnacles

I used to read alot of TinTin....used to go around saying "Blistering Barnacles" and "Dagnabbit", which isnt all that cute when you're 8 years old. I didnt have a clue what it meant, but I reckon its a helluva lot better than what alot of 8 year olds go around saying these days.

Watched a quiz show the other night, and they asked a bunch of highly intelligent Oxford dudes "what is the name of TinTin's dog?". I normally sit there, dumbfounded by the questions on metaphysics, science, Latin, art....so you can imagine how pleased I was to know the answer to at least ONE of the questions on the show. Sat there smugly, saying "Snowy! Snowy!" like a complete geek. It's terrible.... I've turned into one of those people who watch gameshows and yell the answer at the tv screen.....it's all downhill from here.
