last things
spent christmas winding up my boyfriend's mother that her much loved Captain Pugwash was filled with old gay sailor's references. I know it's mostly bolklocs, but i've since been told by an ageing queen that he'd heard the word 'pugwash' to mean blowjob years before either the Guardian article mentioned by another fine contributor here, or even the show itself... so it's hard to be clear on that name...

asprins and diet coke get you high. a friend tried it but had the nous to say it didn't work rather than pretend like a gimp.

similarly, i had a cold some years ago on holiday, and spent a few days laid up in bed stoked to the eyeballs on drugs. i started feeling better, took some beechams tickly cough, and went down the pub to have a couple of whiskys to get the blood moving again. i practically flew home. it was the cocktail of drugs that did it, but i still have friends who believe me that beechams + alcohol = high. and have claimed it works.
i've since been told that with the old cough medicines this could work, as if you left them in a warm place long enough it would separate, and you could skim the morphine off the top... or is this also crap?

i still think that the Eurithmics song Love is a Stranger contains the lyric "sod this circumcision". I just had to look up the song name and lyrics online, and will try to hear it the right way next time i hear it - but as this was planted in my head some ten or more years ago by a school mate, it's unlikely i'll ever hear anything but annie lennox being exasperated by jewish tradition.

edit: blahism just reminded me - does anyone remember when the Lion King came out, and there was a furore about hidden rudeness? there was supposed to be rude words in dust clouds and the like... was this true, or is it just a really good lie??
