Dad won't let me buy anymore Iznogoud stuff at the moment...
Well I've got to page 5 of my comic so far. Then I realised: "Shit. I don't have a storyline." So the project's on hold.
Yeah if you've noticed, I've started uncensoring swears. That's because I wanted to access my blog from skool, but now blogger's blocked on the skool comps anyway, so it doesn't matter anymore. The very initial reason why I censored my swears was because I have McAffee on my compy. But some years ago I BECAME MASTER OF MCAFFEE ON MY COMP FEEL MY WRATH.
Ahem...
My dear daddy says that as we near our holiday (not saying when, filthy burglars!!), I will be allowed to purchase a few more books. I've decided: I'm going for the later ones (13th and onwards) because they're funnier in a bizarre way. But if the Turk's head pops up on eBay, I'll probably go for that one as well. Don't ask me why.
Also: I have an addition to my list. So: 4th reason why Iznogoud's not for kids, or 4th reason why Jean Tabary is a dirty old man.
Mind you, this reason's quite mild... I'll include it, anyway.
#4 Le piège de la sirène

OK so basically what's going on is, this bath in this 'ere pic, is a magic bath. I think: if you pull the plug whilst in the bath, you go to the island of the sirens. Dilat Laraht (french name... ugh! OK, Wa'at Alaf) goes down the plughole, to the island, and comes back. Now, what he says when he returns, is this:
"Do you want to know what I did with the siren, master?" "No! It doesn't interest me." "Damage! (? must be coll. french) I think it will interest you. One can't imagine what you can do with a siren! For example, you take the..."
Iz promptly shuts him up, so we never get to know what we can do with a siren. But I think we all have a pretty good idea. Especially when he goes into the bath and comes back again:
He says a bit more after that but I forgot to get a shot. Never mind.
Iznogoud is right: Dilat/Tuni/Wa'at really is a sex maniac.
If you ask me, I actually like Wa'at. His character has changed so much after Goscinny's death (may his soul be at peace...), but he gets funnier and funnier, and he never fails to make me laugh. So I 'welcome' the sex-obsessed servant.
But erm I still prefer Iz.
Any dang way. I managed to do something I've been meaning to do for about 4 years: Obtain a copy of 'Ompa til du dor' (special characters: APATHY PREVENTS). I love it. It's an album by Kaizers Orchestra, look em up. I especially love 'Kontroll pa Kontinentet' for some reason. Wait, I do know the reason: It reminds me of Iznogoud.
THERE I FUCKING GO AGAIN!! I'll shut up about Iz for 5 minutes now, I swear.
I went to see the latest Indiana Jones movie last Wed. --Thanks to Hannah! Anyway. I have to say: It is... worth watching. A passable effort. But I have to say: It's like watching an old dog trying to keep up with a young puppy. He's 65 years old, for Belissama's sake!! Why are they doing this now, I'd like to know. Why not at least 10 years ago, when poor Harrison F wouldn't have looked so rediculous doing such stunts... (even if he didn't do them himself, the suggestion's there). But no, it was quite good. They even got that cool kid from Even Stevens in there - it also seems he's being snatched up to do a whole line-up of movies. In this one he did a very good job, himself... but I do doubt they said 'Daddyo' in the 50s.
I think I may have put a spoiler in that description... so if you were wondering: (hi-light the next gap to see the spoiler)
The woman from the first Indi. movie is the mother of the kid. The kid is Indi's son.
So that's out the way...
Oh, as we were there during the week at 1pm, LOL, there was only about 5 other people in the cinema!! It was fookin great, man!! But there was a kid sitting next to us, about 8 years old... Questionable?
