    Anyhow, thought it was a barrel of monkeys at the time.

    I always wondered if Tom and Jerry were deliberately named.

    and which Tom and Jerry they were named after

    It's an old British English term for young rapscallions.

    Good(e) Neighbors is awesome.  Felicity Kendal was a heart throb for the longest time.  What a deer.

    Just looked that up. Apparently, the term comes from characters in a 1921-1928 Pierce Egan literary journal called Life in London or, the Day and Night Scenes of Jerry Hawthorn, esq., and his elegant friend, Corinthian Tom, accompanied by Bob Logic, the Oxonian, in their rambles and sprees through the Metropolis. There seems to be plenty of information about it on line.

    I'd bet it would be an interesting read.

    that's awesome. I never knew that :)

    I wonder if they ever played 'hot ****les' , although I think it was more an Elizabethan  Victorian thing

    I've played that, or is it not quite what I'm thinking?

    Oh, my!

    An extremely popular game at Victorian Christmas
    parties. One player sits down, another player is blindfolded, kneels,
    and places his/her head in the sitter's lap. The kneeler places an open
    hand on his/her back, with palm uppermost, which other players take it
    in turns to strike, and the kneeler must guess who has struck the blow.

    In the USA, we call that giving head.

    Idea for a new reality show:

    HOT COCKLES!

    Host: "OK, contestant number one, for one thousand dollars..."

    Studio Audience: "WHO DEALT THE BLOW?!!!"

    Contestant Number One: "I'm not quite sure. Could we have another go at it?"

    The Good Life - Def one of if not the best sit com ever written.

    [Barbara points at the basket of flowers]
    Barbara: Shouldn't they be edelweiss?
    Margo:
    You see? Barbara's noticed. I told Miss Mountshaft she should have
    ordered the real thing from Moisy Stevens but no, plastic will do. The
    whole thing is tat, tat, tat.



    The Golden Girls


    Sophia:
    Esther Weinstock is dead. We grew up together, she was my best friend.


    Dorothy:
    I'm so sorry. What happened?


    Sophia:
    [sarcastically]
    She was fighting an oil rig fire in the Gulf of Mexico.


    [agitated]


    Sophia:
    SHE WAS 88!


    Rose:
    Well, it's great that she was able to work right up to the end.
