They were not kidding when they said that Crowley was responsible for Welsh language television. Good GOD.

Also.

Was walking back from Tesco, when I looked in the window of a charity shop and saw the huge amount of Mr Men books they had.

Somehow I misread 'Mr Uppity' as 'Mr Nudity'.

Was my first thought 'that can't be right, it would be so dreadfully unsuitable for the children!'? Oh no. Instead, I went off onto a whole mental tangent of how exactly, they'd manage to make him more nude than all the other Mr Men. Do Mr Men HAVE genitals?

...sometimes I genuinely worry about the state of my brain.

...Mr Men and Little Miss?

There are female Mr. Men. I distinctly remember there being a cute round thing that looked like Mrs. Pac-Man, but I don't remember what she was. Miss Prissy, or something like that.
So they must have genitals, otherwise there would be no difference between Mr. Men and...Miss Women?
Or maybe the Miss Women are just cross-dressers.

The Little Misses wore dresses and had nice long hair with bows and stuff. Except Little Miss Tramp...

But anyway, in the world of Roger Hargreaves, clothes maketh the woman evidently, and a lack of them maketh the man.

*checks some stuff* Ok, not dresses. But they have bows and pretty hair and stuff. Except Little Miss Fun... who has a mohawk?

The only clothing I can picture at all is Little Miss Bossy's boots. Possibly also hats. Did some of the Mr. Men have hats?

Yes, and they were utterly terrifying. I think it was a grumpy one that had a hat.

One of them had a monocle.

*weighs in*

Is it dreadful that I'm picturing a bar invasion?

...Is it dreadful I was doing the same damned thing, and wondering if I could con Rami into being one?

Little Miss Busy had keds/sneakers. Little Miss Bossy had bare feet (blue) as far as I recall. Boots? Are we talking thigh boots here?

Some of the Mr Men had hats and shoes: Mr Small, Mr Tickle, Mr Chatterbox, Mr Snow, Mr Lazy and Mr Mischief had bowlers of some sort; Mr Grumpy, Mr Silly, Mr Funny and Mr Nonsense had varieties of top hat, and my fave, Mr Strong, had a fedora. Mr Noisy had huge great platform brogues. Mr Bump had bandages.

I think my mother bought me a dog toy. O.o

I still eat lots of eggs because of Mr Strong's eat eggs and you will become very strong philosophy. It so doesn't work.

Am now remembering Little Miss Bossy did not start with boots...they were "bossy boots" that bossed her around, and someone gave them to her so that...well, you know.

Oh, Little Miss Contrary had glasses, too.

...And fuck, sudden bad though. If my Little Miss and Mr. Men books got damaged in the hurricane I will...something.
