Pop culture backlash post! :D For maximum mental whiplash

TOPANGA IS ON MY TV! TOPAAAAAANGA. How long has this been happening and no one told me?

What I mean is to say Danielle Fishel is hosting "The Dish." (The :Dish?) And I did not know about this until now. Ah, and her wikipedia page will show me when she started doing this. . . August of last year. Almost a year! Of missed Topanga! Also I'm genuinely enjoying the show so far, in that trashy way. If it wasn't for Joel McHale's dirty secret relationship with Keith Olbermann (this is what Craig Ferguson tells me) I would totally like her better than him, he has dead eyes. But uh, is otherwise awesome? Oh my god she's showing clips of Anderson Cooper!!! ANDERSON COOPER HUFFING WHIPPED CREAM. TOPANGA + ANDERSON COOPER + WHIPPED CREAM = MY NEW FAVORITE SHOW.

All my Boy Meets World memories are of Topanga and Feeny. Did Corey do anything?

In other trashy and completely contrasting news, you guys know what I was a big Girls Next Door fan? So I was watching Kendra's show finally and awww, I like fiance!Hank so much so far! He seems like a really good guy although obviously I'm just seeing what he does in front of the cameras. He seems far more functional as a human being than Kendra, which isn't hard - she's been living in a mansion with a huge staff for the past 6 years. She went to Vegas for a photoshoot and to go topless skydiving, and he was left alone and said he got bored with playing video games so he cleaned the house. Macho football players being domestic is cute, whatever. He's just so much sweeter and more normal than her.

This post gets links too! Yesterday Katie and I spent like 2 and a half hours looking at Awkward Family Photos!

I used to have such an age-inappropriate crush on Mr. Feeny!

HAVE YOU SEEN 1776???

OK i don't know if he's even hot there. . . depends on how much of a John Adams fetish you have. But he is younger!

Edit: Also oh man Mr. Feeny is like the best person ever. I am totally with you. Just wanted to stress that. :D

I love awkwardfamilyphotos.com to pieces.

DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THE :DISH BEFORE NOW AND NOT TELL ME??

[ayamachi.livejournal.com]

..I sent you a link to it before! D:

[ayamachi.livejournal.com]

wait. the dish? no!

[guingel.livejournal.com]

For which I am grateful! It is a magnificent website of magnificence.

..I think my head is sunburned. D:

[guingel.livejournal.com]

Hahahahaha I'm sorry but that wasn't the comment I was expecting and it made me laugh out loud.

Um, I'm sorry. Cool shower?

"your head"? Like. . . all over?

[ayamachi.livejournal.com]

I must be balding or something!! It's just in a couple spots.

You're going to see the midnight showing of Harry Potter with me, right!!! I know you will, cause you love naked horse sex kid.

[guingel.livejournal.com]

Hehehe sorry not funny at all. I sometimes get sunburned along my part, it happens!

Ummmm maybe. Just to laugh at the people who are really invested? But it depends!

You know who did like naked horse sex kid? My friend Greg in Manchester. He was always like "LAURA LOOK AT DANIEL RADCLIFFE THAT IS THE BODY OF A MUCH OLDER ADOLESCENT WOULD YOU NOT SAY?"

To be fair I guess Greg is a couple years younger than me? How old is Radcliffe? (I originally wrote "Danielle Radcliffe" above. I blame the fe at the end of his last name, if that is indeed correct.)

[ayamachi.livejournal.com]

But. I love Harry Potter!! I guess I still laugh at the ridiculous parts though. ..like when Voldemort was all >:D AH AHHA HAH HAH. But, come on, it's entertaining!

Hahaha.. I kind of agree with Greg on that one.

[ayamachi.livejournal.com]

Ohhh. I know what show it is now. I think I watched it for like.. 30 seconds once. But see, I never liked Topanga.

[guingel.livejournal.com]

But her name is Topanga! What's not to like!? Her NAME is TOPANGA.

[ayamachi.livejournal.com]

I liked her in early Boy Meets World! But I wasn't a fan of the later seasons.

[guingel.livejournal.com]

Ahh, you have a more nuanced memory than I do. I probably wasn't watching the later seasons at all. . . I tend to either come in to tv shows really late or drop off as the kids get older.

NNNNNGH WISHBONE ICON

[guingel.livejournal.com]

Wishbone is probably one of the best kids shows of all time! I am soooooo happy to be the age I am so I could grow up with him. I recently got all Wishbone tapes from the library and watched them with my friends and you know what? IT'S STILL AWESOME. The biggest difference is that I love Ellen even more. And I love the way Wishbone shouts "Ellen!!" all excited. I feel the same way, she is awesome.

Wait, I thought you were from the UK? I didn't know it broadcast outside the US! I haven't been using the icon as much as I would have otherwise because i thought a bunch of people wouldn't be able to get it.

edit: I just had the temptation to try to write "What's the story?" on this icon. . . hmmmm!

[ex-wannaber.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, they showed all sorts of kids tv shows over here - from Australia and America. British kids had a lot to choose from. They showed them on Nickelodeon. We got The Secret World of Alex Mack too!

[guingel.livejournal.com]

Sweeeeetness. Wishbone should reach as many children as possible.

Although this raises a new question! When I was in a philosophy class in England, the professor was mentioning Don Quixote and no one knew anything about it, and I was all "Oh, I know about Don Quixote, what kind of education are these kids getting??" and then I realized I knew it because of Wishbone and that's how I know anything about literary classics. So I guess the kids in my class just made poor viewing decisions. Losers!

Oddly enough, I didn't have Nickelodeon as a kid cos I didn't have cable! So you had access to American shows that I didn't! (Such as the Secret World of Alex Mack)

(Also I just realized I have to do work now so I will respond to your other comments later. XD I just really wanted to talk about Wishbone, it does not take too much mental energy cos I'm always thinking about Wishbone!)
