I said, DOCTOR!

[thehefner]

As far as anyone knows, is there a variation of a Piña Colada that calls for BOTH Malibu and Cap'n Morgan, plus a shot of fresh lime juice? If not, then I think I've just invented a Heffie Colada.

Because after all, I put de lime in de coconut.



I've been showing Dad the wonderful Laurie/Fry JEEVES & WOOSTER series. Between that and the Jeeves alarm clock (which I *did* buy and absolutely adore, by the way), I really, really wish I had a Jeeves. Y'know, a constant companion to make certain I dressed well, kept up with my appointments, and didn't make a total ass of myself (or to save my sorry butt whenever I did). Someone to gently yank me out of the way of open manholes while I would be strolling along, thinking great thoughts.

"I say, Jeeves! That was an open manhole!"

"Quite, sir."

"That would have been blasted awkward had I fallen into that! I dare say I should have been in quite the dilly of the pickle! "

"I couldn't say, sir. Might I remind sir that today is New Comics Day?"

"Oh, smashing! Whip me up another martini*, if you'd be so kind! (sings) Ohh, I-I-I love little girls, they make me feel so... so..."

"Good, sir?"

"Quite, quite! I-I-I love little girls, they make me feel so..."

"Bad, sir."

"... What do you suppose an 'Oingo Boingo' is, anyway?"

"I'm afraid I really couldn't say, sir."

Of course, it would be hard to say how my Jeeves would hold up over all the years of putting up with me. He might become dryly snarky like Alfred or become an outright cynical and sarcastic bastard like John Gielgud in ARTHUR. Ah well, in either case, it's a moot point to dream as such.

After all, I already have Bub for all that.


*In one episode, Bertie mixed up a gin martini with a dash of absinthe... holy crap, man, how I want to drink that.

There was a rumor that Stephen Fry was going to make a guest shot on House MD some time this year. I don't know what happened to it; it would have been fun.

The series is not great in a lot of ways, but Hugh Laurie's performance as House is a thing of beauty and a joy to behold.

Okay. That's really weird. I've had that "you put the lime int he coconut" business in my head for DAYS, and for some reason, I can only picture Dave Hosey in Middle Hallways dancing around singing the "I said DOCTOR" part in a really crazy voice.

My brain defies explanation.

PS look at this for Jeeves happiness http://www.voco.uk.com/
We got one for one of our friends for christmas and it's the most awesome thing in the world.

Dear lady, did you not read my above entry? I said that I already own and adore this clock! So much better than my shrill cell phone alarm.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Which is interesting, considering that Fry just guest-starred on BONES, which I only happened to see while I was at the gym. Same channel, wrong show!

And yeah, I found HOUSE to be a wildly uneven and formulaic show, but what a magnificent performance. I really want to see what would happen if House and Dr. Cox were to meet.

I don't know about appearing on House, but Stephen Fry was excellent on Bones back on Wednesday (7 Feb) as a psychiatrist who had to examine Agent Booth before he could be cleared to go back on the job.

Everyone should have their own Jeeves. Especially me. I'd never oversleep and miss a morning class again!

The Jeeves clock makes me wish I didn't share a room. I'll have to get it to use for when I'm home for the summer. I've also thought about getting one for my Dad's birthday as well.

Wow, I suck at skimming things. I think I absorbed every single other line but the one where you said, YES I HAVE THE CLOCK.

Again, the brain.

"After all, I already have Bub for all that. "
Great now I can't get the image of Bub in a butler's outfit with bowler hat and umbrella out of my head. In the kitchen bright and early trying to remember which contraption is the toaster. Damn you I was having a nice normal day too!

Oh man, how simply marvelous.

Hey, after he remembers how to speak, we'll both be in tuxes for our Vegas debut, performing "Me and My Shadow," "Shall We Dance?" and of course, "Puttin' on the Ritz."

O_O

I am jealous of your clock.

Although I think a gin and absinthe martini would be too... liquorice-flavoured. :P

[jcsbimp.livejournal.com]

I do so want to see Jeeves and Wooster someday -- not the least of reasons to see Hugh Laurie as something other than House, and with something more resembling his native accent.

[themadhatter26.livejournal.com]

You realize if I lived closer to you I'd probably be a snarky Jeeves, correct? Definitely for that singing Little Girls in public bit.

[mirthical.livejournal.com]

If only I had known, I would have saved you from dog crap with an English accent. Shucks.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

It's one'a the reasons I liked our... arrangement, shall we say? You were always there to yank me outta the way of dog doo.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Sorry, dude, you're just not totally unflappable and infallible like Jeeves. I don't think any person is.
