Soap Operas Gone Insane

Filed under: — Aprille @ 4:39 pm

Oh my lord, what is with soap operas nowadays?

And to think, I gave up on soap operas back in ’83 when Annabelle kept having those dumb headaches on Guiding Light.

This clip from Passions is truly bizarre.  I mean, seriously.  You think you know what soap opera thing is going to happen, and then you’re completely wrong.

Citrus mysteries

How do you pronounce that Euro car, the Citröen? And did I put the umlauts in the right place? And should the word umlauts have umlauts? Ãœmlauts? And does Citröen mean lemon in whatever language it’s in, like citron does in French? And do other cultures use the word lemon to mean a bad car? And how did that get started, anyway? And is that urban legend true about the Chevy Nova being renamed in Spanish-speaking countries for obvious reasons?

I wish I had a car that was a lemon. I’d bring some Splenda and we’d have a joyous lemonadey day as I zoomed around town, chewing on its inner surfaces.

Also, I like lemon curd. Maybe when our garden raspberries are ripe, I’ll make some mini cheesecakes and top them with a layer of lemon curd and some raspberries.
