mythtaken is the fault of a somewhat fannish-oriented, marginally geeky englishwoman with too much time on her hands and serves as an attic for her to keep all her stuff in.

Five things off the telly which have particularly tickled me

A continuity announcer once fluffing her introduction to an episode of the X-Files by speaking of "Muldy and Sculler";
A sketch in Little Britain in which Andy, in his apathy, chooses two copies of the same book to get out from the library;
An advert for oven-ready potato wedges involving two boys trying to go through a doorway at the same time and getting, well, wedged - a visual gag so worn-out I never expected to find it funny, but this one was so perfectly executed it actually made me convulse with laughter, which is rare for me;
Sean Lock, in an episode of QI, suggesting that Stephen Fry has his underpants "made on a loom by exquisite boys";
The incongruous violence of a Dairylea Dunkers advert wherein a stop-motion dinosaur chases a cavewoman, dips her in a tub of soft cheese and bites her head off, only then discovering the little breadsticks also included in the packet and slapping his forehead in "d'oh!" style. I only ever saw this ad the once. I suspect it got complaints.
