marcellinafuriosaThe Sam Cooke Effect: suddenly a song about a clock that doesn't work any more is the coolest song in the world.
Five Fictional Characters and Powers They Have You Wish You Had Too:
1. Mary Poppins and her perfect propriety and ability to fly whether she's thinking lovely thoughts or not.
2. Merlin (from the Disney cartoon of "The Sword in the Stone") and his ability to pack.
3. Lucy Pevensie and her healing cordial.
4. The Three Ladies from "The Magic Flute" and their ability to dispose of unwanted reptiles and put padlocks on people's mouths.
5. I'm torn between:
a) Andrew Undershaft from "Major Barbara" and his big heaps of money and consequent ability to give people jobs.
b) Nanny Ogg's ability to see the best in people, always, even a best they didn't know was there, and do the kind and understanding thing.
