Blasts from the Twilight Zone

by ParisB on April 4, 2008

Can you blame me for doing a double take when I entered the ladies washroom at The Gardens?

Does it look suspiciously like a row of urinals to you? I trust I’d be forgiven in thinking that they had finally designed a way for women to pee standing - it’ll save a lot of time queuing in the ladies toilets as any woman can tell you. Which leads me to the question – Why are there always the same number of cubicles in a men’s toilet as in the ladies? Men have the added advantage of having urinals as well so it is no wonder their turn around time is so much faster. Or rather it should be – there are always exceptions :P

But toilet rants aside, no, I did not wander into the men’s toilets by mistake. It was actually a row of sinks conveniently located at… erm… waist height. erm… Definitely worth a look hehe…

And now, onto the entertainment news! Look who’s reuniting?

*giggles* I cannot believe that the New Kids on the Block (aka NKOTB) are actually reuniting!! New Album! World Tour! Have they run out of money? Already?

I wonder if they are sticking to NKOTB. Ironically, the AP news report referred to them as The New Kids On The Block not NKOTB. But… :-

  1. They aren’t kids anymore
  2. They aren’t “new kids” they are “old news”
  3. Their block has upgraded to some swanky neighbourhood now

I’ll be watching this with great amusement. And look at their latest photo! Jonathan Knight still has his cheesey grin, Jordan Knight still has his “I’m too sexy for you” look, Joey McIntyre is all “growed up”, Donnie Wahlberg still has his pseudo tough guy image (even in a suit) and Danny Wood is erm… yes still the rather strange one!

OMG! *runs away screaming at the memories*

Enjoy your weekend. I’m off to see what’s brewing in our Southern neighbour. :)

Omigosh!!! New Kids coming back together! HAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!! I am so not knowing what to be thinking.
Actually, what I most can’t believe is that I can still remember most of their songs and the mathematical equation we came up with for Danny Wood’s name.

Since you can’t remember the equation….
Danny Wood = Father Wood (can’t remember why he was cast as a priest) = Bapa Papan
The “pa” is a common er.. factor, therefore Danny Wood = Pa(Ba + pan) and then I think we ended up calling him plain ol’ Bapan.

I have to say I really did like The Right Stuff, that was an awesome song for us back then. Hehe.

Wow! Joey McIntyre’s turned out to be the cutest (in my books). Sigh…Jordan Knight is looking a bit ‘old’ and yeah, poor Danny still looks out. He looks MUCH better than before though :-)

It would be fun to go for their tour eh? Embarrassing though for fansees like us LOL
