If you want to watch a production of Aladdin but don't want nightmares of Will Smith as a smurf I can recommend the 2000 ITV panto version they're still doing reruns of

ACAB: assigned cephalopod at birth 🐙

@noelle @maple if Jafar comes out with massive red, black, and white flags with some symbol in the middle then totally an indiana jones theme there

@noelle @maple oh yeah, I see the similarities now

but fewer nazis in aladdin, I think nazis are a pretty important part in the majority of the indiana jones films

I mean, I assume so, I don't know what disney have messed with in the script

.png is pronounced "PUNG!"

@halcy is that dutch?

I don't know about mice liking cheese but all of our cats love it

@maple octo-cuddles are required!

*cuddles*

Autotuned Tom Scott isn't something I knew I wanted to see, but it's very good

@legendaryjoeb now that's something I'd watch but this is just terrible

I have literally seen panto productions with more genie-looking genies

I've just seen pictures of Will Smith as the genie in Aladdin

What the fuck.

@scarly I'm also a terrible human being

which makes it quite lucky I'm an octopus

@noelle just carrying on the British Isles tradition of naming places after rude stuff

Particularly good examples are Bell End in England, Fannyfield in Scotland, and Tart's Hill in Wales

Ireland get in on it too with the town of Muff

Yes, there is a diving club there

Yes, they do sell "Muff Diving Club" merchandise

@scarly there's a new load of people coming over from twitter maybe? and there's some youtube-related drama or something?

I don't know, some bullshit or other

I love Reggie (the cat that isn't officially ours but is always around here anyway) but he doesn't half weigh a tonne when he's sitting on your lap

none pizza with left twitter?

I've just been reminded of my favourite WWII British officer, Mad Jack Churchill

His wikipedia article is quite the ride

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Churchill

@machado @natecull "Mad Jack Churchill charged the beach with a claymore in WWII"
"okay, that sounds foolhardy but reasonable"
"no, the sword"
"...he was using a sword in WWII?"
"and a longbow"
"wut?"
"and bagpipes"
