5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.
1. Most important discovery of the last century?
Penicillin.
2. Candy is dandy, but liquor quicker. Which do you prefer, though?
Kandy Kiwi Mousey. Yummy!

I'm going to let Scully handle this one.
"Oh, freakin' great! You couldn't give me the most important discovery question?"
Just thought you'd be familiar with Jabberwockies and Jubjubs, that's all *smiles pathetically*.
"Loser."
5. Who is your favorite Bob?
I'm torn between "yer uncle" and the great Sir Bobby Charlton. But glancing across at the nationality hit counter, it seems pretty unlikely that anyone will know either of them.

I knew a band called "The Bobby Charltons". They were big with Blur and Oasis for a while... and then got left behind. Not Mancunian enough. :P
And the Wedding Present had an album called "George Best".
I figured you'd probably be the only visitor to know who Bobby Charlton was and what "Bob's yer uncle" means.
Oops - that should read Bobby Charlton "IS"!
i've heard "bob's yer uncle" before but i don't know the meaning. fox and cali and scully? how many of you are hiding behind this blog? hmm?! (pulls tinfoil hat down a little tighter)
It comes from the Conservative Prime Minister Lord Salisbury, whose first name was Robert. Apparently he had a habit of promoting his nephew A.J.Balfour in his cabinet in his administration of 1880. Balfour rapidly rose to Sec of State - in the cabinet and in the media the phrase was coined for Balfours success - Bob's your uncle.
My least favourite Bob - evil Bob in Twin Peaks - the stuff of nightmares.
Or Bob the builder - perky little bastard.
I have always wondered where that phrase came from....thanks!!!
Neither did I - great explanation, makes perfect sense now.
BTW - my little nephew's gonna come round your blog and "have a few words" for calling Bob the Builder a bastard.
All builders are bastards. With the odd exception - no sweeping generalisations from me. :)
Thanks Spirit - you've moved the brits back into bronze medal position, ahead of Taiwan.
See, what you don't see on Bob the Builder is Bob charging old ladies an arm and a leg for 'bogus' jobs, using shoddy materials and then trying to shag anything that moves.
They edit that stuff out the show - y'know, so they can let kiddie watch it.
...Gotta be me, hasn;t it?
Peace,
Bob
(Taiwan - who's the Daddy??)
