I stayed up too late last night, I was watching ancient television series again. The premise for the episode I was watching was rather funny: a woman was hypnotised, and told to believe she was in love with the main character on the show. Her emotions and pulse were registered and transmitted by a silver locket bestowed upon her by the nefarious enemies of our hero. Of course the hapless woman was told that it came from her "love interest".
Anyway, the way the woman was told she was attracted to the hero was quite hilarious. "Look at this picture. Isn't he handsome?" and the kicker for me - "isn't he MANLY?".
How long has it been since anyone was able to say that word with a straight face? It's so meaningless isn't it? Look at the table, isn't it table like? See the way it is rectangular and has four legs (anything other than that design would be effete). Manly is right up there with calling an action "awefully white of you...old chap". I'm not even sure what characteristics we can glean from it? Resolution? Intelligence? Integrity? Y Chromosome?
Never mind, worked well enough on the character on the show.
