Saw this post and thought it was a great way to start off this year's Post of the Day thread!

On James on CBB saying he was the biggest character on Strictly:
tabithakitten wrote: »
I've had a sneaky look at James's thesaurus (yes, really - he does have one).

Character noun: knob, idiot, gobsh*te, moron, dullard, twit (and the other one with a different vowel), ignoramus, cretin, imbecile, simpleton, jerk, d*ckhead, fool, dolt, dingbat, buffoon, oaf

I think he might be right.

    There has been some speculation that Aliona may want to take a "hands off" approach to dancing with Greggg

    I'm wondering whether she's begging wardrobe to make all of her costumes out of that really cheap nylon so that he'll get a static shock every time he tries to touch her.

    I can see a bit of a theme starting up here.

    Week 1

    Why are you dressed as a hedgehog Aliona? It's really difficult to get close with all those prickles.

    Erm... well Gregg, you see we're doing a waltz to "Norwegian Wood" so our costumes are woodland creatures. I'm a cute little hedgehog and you're a woodlouse.

    Oh. Okay.

    Week 2

    Why are you wearing the hedgehog costume again?

    This isn't the hedgehog costume, silly. We're dancing to "Needles and Pins". I'm a pin cushion.

    Oh fine. I get you.

    Week 3

    So what's the story this week Aliona?

    Well, as our song is "Strawberry Fields Forever", wardrobe thought it'd be hilarious if we dressed up as fruit. So you're a lemon and I'm a... wait for it... prickly pear!
    Erm... yes it does look a bit like the hedgehog costume Gregg. How observant of you...

    This has to happen. I want 3G to deliver a bitter tirade and flounce off in the diaphanous mauve blouson he had to wear for the 'interpretive' routine Aliona convinced him to dance to Kate Bush's 'Wow'.

    From your mouth to God's ear!

    Nominating on behalf of Lily M, although this post did make me laugh too.
    chachachavvy wrote: »
    I'm rapidly getting the impression that the story of the Clifton family childhood comes straight from Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?, with Joanne as Baby Jane and TTF as Blanche. Joanne probably descended into alcoholism last year when TTF eclipsed her fame and now she's back to reclaim her rightful place in the Clifton hierarchy. By the end of the series she'll being downing bottles of gin, nicking Colin Jackson's dolls from the prop room and waltzing around the floor to I've Written a Letter to Daddy.

    Is it possible we could all start to feel sorry for TTF after this insight into his painful formative years?

    On the appeal of Alison
    chachachavvy wrote: »
    She's partnered with Aljaz which makes me shamelessly sell out all my principles. They could partner him with the reanimated corpse of Elizabeth Bathory wrapped in peach chiffon and I'd be saying 'Ok, Liz may have bathed in Tess's blood this week but she's not all bad. Did you see those kicks and flicks?'

    From the "Scott's Samba" thread:
    Oicho Throw wrote: »
    It was a gigantic crab monster shuffling and spasming awkwardly through a neon-themed Hell and occasionally stopping to chase a demon-faced pixie as she screams children's songs and writhes in agony. Meanwhile Nicholas Nicholas Grimshaw gazes avidly from the sidelines, willing the crab to age and succumb to the advances of Radio 2. This grisly tableau is juxtaposed with the most innocent of all possible things - a kid's cartoon about a fish woman sacrificing herself to stalk an idiot.

    It was a poignant commentary on life, death and the cruelty of reality and, quite frankly, it moved me to tears.

    As a younger sister, I can relate to this...

    I know Joanne is a champion ball room dancer and has been in other things, but it still feels as if Mr and Mrs Clifton have said to Kevin "You have to take your sister with you when you go and play with the Strictly children".

    From the Ikea Catalogue thread:
    flugella wrote: »
    The IKEA Head Office have been forced to ask customers to stop returning their newly purchased SODOFFDONNI turf. Our warehouses in the returns department simply cannot cope with the volume of disgruntled customers. Instead, we are issuing all those who purchased the item with a refund, discontinuing the item immediately and advising all who still possess a SODOFFDONNI to dispose of it any way they can (as long as no children or animals are harmed in the process).

    Just had to bring chachachavvy's masterpiece over from the Slightly Morbid thread.

    Musing on what might happen if someone died during the series.

    The pros are such troupers they would probably carry right on if their celeb died mid-botafogo on the live show. Anton would lift, lift, lift while shouting words of encouragement like 'Go towards the light, love!' Kristina would swirl round the corpse like a bacchanalian orgiast hoping the rigor mortis was indistinguishable from her usual level of partner. Natalie would do some fierce, distracting skirt-swishing and head rolls and declare to the nation 'I've always dreamed of dancing with a corpse. I couldn't believe my luck when I got partnered with this corpse. When the corpse had heart failure in the middle of the routine it was my best experience on a dance-floor ever.' Ola would prop the corpse into a kneeling position and then physically send it in a sliding diagonal across the floor. Brendan would perform CPR in time to the beat while inwardly screaming 'Why God? Why? Why not Bloody Lulu?' We could only rely on Aliona to give the freshly deceased a dismissive kick and say 'Week 3 and you die on me? Week ****ing Three????????' She may even do a spit.

    Bravo and a 10 for that performance chachachavvy.

    Doghouse riley trying (and sadly failing) to explain why use of the word "hate" should be avoided
    Veri wrote: »
    BTW, what's with all the 'semantics' and nit-picking about the word "hate"?

    Somehow the idea has caught on in these forums that "hate" has to be extreme; but it doesn't: if someone says they hate broccoli, it doesn't mean they want to lay waste to broccoli farms.
    Doghouse Riley wrote: »
    No, I think it's more the fact that the broccoli is unlikely to have it's feelings hurt, if it were aware that it was "hated."

    :confused:

    I can't make sense of that as a reply to my post.

    What are you even saying is more the fact?

    It made sense to me...
