The Jelly Monster’s ‘Things I Wish I Thunk Of’ challenge
So naughty Jelly Monster has tagged me with a liddle quizzy thingy, and as usual, out of the goodness of my heart, I’m going to share my highly intelligent answers with you, my loyal readership.
Movie:
Hmm, difficult one this. Depends if we’re going on sheer monetary gain (and you can’t really count Harry Potter, because the book came first I suppose) or cleverness (Matrix) or whatever. But I’d have to say I’d choose the classic ‘An Affair to Remember’. What’s not to love about the whole ‘met the girl, lost the girl, supposed to meet at the top of the Empire State building but then she gets run over by a taxi’ type plot line. It can’t have been that bad otherwise they wouldn’t have nicked it for Sleepless in Seattle now would they?
Song:
Seeing as we’re doing things that we wish we’d thought of, rather than our favourite ones, I’d have to go for Thriller. Although I’m not (and never have been) the biggest Michael Jackson fan, especially after the whole kiddy fiddling allegations debacle, who can remember the excitement leading up to the first ever showing of that video, and those bloody amazing dancers too. Great track. Even better vid.
Chocolate Bar:
Ah, now you all know the answer to that one. It’s not exactly a bar but oh, Creme Egg, how I love thee. How else can you get grown men to stare, jaws dropped in awe, purely by eating a small piece of confectionary? Chocolate AND entertainment – what’s not to love?
Invention:
Now I suppose I should go techno here – the computer, or the flat screen TV or satellite navigation or something, but hey, I’m a girl and seeing as the Jelly Monster already took GHDs, my invention of choice would have to be make-up. And boys, before you think this doesn’t apply to you, imagine how horrible millions of women would look all over the world if it weren’t for foundation and a bit of blusher. Yeh. Thought so.
Event:
Well it has to be Live Aid doesn’t it. Ah, I remember it well – although I didn’t get to go, I was glued to the TV the whole time, sitting in my CHOOSE LIFE t-shirt and my fluorescent legwarmers. And didn’t you just love Paul Young back then? *swoon*
Over to you, then, list the movie, song, chocky bar, invention and event you wish you’d thought of first. Chop chop now…
Oh, and blogger-wise, I tag Baino, Isitjustme and Jay. Links back to Queen Monster of Jelly please!

Song: John The Revelator (or join the neverlator, whichever). Or personal Jesus.
Choc: Kit-Kat, that sells everywhere.
Invention: Something that melts all Fianna Fail politicians and supporters instantly.
Event: Tunguska?
Not mad on the cream eggs now, I like the goo in them. I like to eat Maxis goo then give him the chocolate back!
Queen Monster of Jelly – I love it!
Jelly: Aw I know, I cry every time I watch it. And steady now – I think what you do with Maxi’s goo should probably be kept to yourself! I like the title. It suits you. x
Song – All you need is love – I would be so rich now!
Event – Woodstock – Hippy Times!!!!
Chocolate – hmmm well very occasionally I like a bit of chocolate covered Turkish Delight but not often. So it would have to be that
Invention – the world wide web!!!!!
Ah well dream over – back to work! x
Song: Jackson 5 Blame it on the Boogie – Makes me want to shake my ass no matter what time of day it is and what mood I’m in!!
Chocky bar: Green &Blacks Maya Gold – If christmas had a flavour this would be it!! DIVINE!
Invention: running water – I NEEEEED my shower every morning, to wake up and to plan my outfit!
Event: Slane 1999 – My leaving cert year, best gig ever for me!!
Loving this to amuse me of a thursday afternoon when I want to be at home!!
Mission accomplished.
I still think that invention is badly needed.
Rach: OMG, Maya Gold – gorgeous stuff! Oh and great song. Who was at Slane? U2?? x
Growup: I think you’d have a queue of customers
