Picture books corrupt! (Or they at least emphasise it, really.)

You know you love Red Dwarf too much - if there's such a thing - when you're looking at picture books in a school library, see one called The Potato People, and think of Rimmer.
You also know you love Red Dwarf too much when you saw what was coming at the word 'potato'.
Anyone else have these moments in relation to titles of books, especially children's books?  Darn my work placement.  Darn it to heck.

Well, if you're keeping him in your gym bag, yeah ... he IS probably going to be smegged off ...

(Oh, iPad, I love you. It automatically corrected smegged to "smeghead" up there.)

There are potato people! Take me to their king!

I drive down Craig Rd and past Craigshire St on the way to work. Makes me smile :)

Was at a seminar yesterday, and one of the people the guy thanked was called 'Rimmington'. I was like, I bet I know what they got called at school!!

Actually I had a history teacher who would quote Red Dwarf (and Blackadder!) in his lessons, but at the time it went over my head. It's only on-rewatching the shows as an adult, I was all HEY.

He was a cool teacher. :-)

One of my high school teachers quoted "The Blues Brothers" when we were discussing "Dracula", and I laughed. I think I was the only one who got it. Your teacher sounds brilliant!

Yeah. I've got too much time on my hands. It's not slash, but it's related to this post at least.
