YOU KNOW THAT YOU'RE A MAD GOODIES FAN WHEN …
(from C&G #129 August 2006)
Following last month's article on this topic the C&G pirate post office was swamped by homing kangaroos bearing messages from readers ... and a whole none of them were from a Mrs Trellis of North Wales too! Instead we received the following excellent responses from fan club members to "You Know That You're A Mad Goodies Fan When ...":
Bob Kilgore:
* Every night, you brush your toothy-pegs, put on your jimmy-jim-jams and go to sleepy-bobos.

* You never miss an opportunity to say, "There's only one way out of this crate..."
* Small, furry things always run affectionately up your neck.
* You're always yelling things (especially at the football) like, "Get up ya' Great Nancy!" or "What a load of RUB-bish!" or "Faking! Faking!" or "CHEL-SEY!!!"
* Whenever singing a song, you have an uncontrollable urge to "spell it".
* You can't hear someone drum their fingers on a table without breaking out into song.

Marf Shopmyer:

* Getting my kids to answer the question "What noise does a gibbon make?" with "Ooh Ooh Ooh!"
* My kids while in the midst of their own medley of children's songs (they were making it up as they were singing - they were 1 1/2 and 3 1/2) included "Father Christmas Do Not Touch me"
* Grow a couple of fuzzy chops sideburns for the Goodies tour and have my photo taken with Graeme (can send photo to prove it), and Graeme wanting to know if he could borrow them. Needless to say people were constantly asking me why?
