Red Bun Drops
SouthPark
Oh dear, yes, I have succumbed to the "Make yourself a SouthParkie", thanks to Norma. Notice the RED mittens, that I wear every day.
I have a funny SouthPark story to share with you all.
As some of you may know, my husband, Ken, is my second husband. My only son was 12 when we got married. As you can imagine, he was at a difficult age. Ken and my son, butted heads more than a few time, over the years, even though they have a good relationship today. I think that SouthPark came out when my son was around 14, and of course it greatly appealed to the twisted minds of teenaged boys. Not really having watched it, I was not familiar with the characters or the storylines. (Stay with me here........it's coming..hehe)
One day I was in my son's room, doing some cleaning and I came across a note, that said "Kill Kenny". OMG.......I went into a full blown panic. Did my son want to kill my husband?? I knew that they didn't always see eye to eye.......but KILL?? Needless to say, I was worried sick and called my husband right away. When I told him of the note, he laughed. How could he LAUGH?????? Imagine how silly I felt when he told me that killing Kenny was a key part of every SouthPark show.......and how did HE, the "uncool" parent know this and I did not?? OUCH!
Thanks Norma for the walk down memory lane and the memory of the chuckle!
Perfect, perfect red. I speak from experience :-)

South Park is the only show that I agree with my Mom about. We both think it's hilarious. Otherwise, she basically believes that FoxNews is, uh, a news show, and I think it's a tragi-comedy.

He he, great South Parkie. I love your Red Bun Drops too. I need to arrange some of my fibre like that, then maybe I would remember I had it and start spinning some of it lol.

I'm a South Park idiot, although my brother often talked about the show. Still, I had to make a character!
Love the red, red buns!

The Red Bun Drops look good enough to eat!!
Great story about 'kill Kenny'. I didn't realize what that meant for awhile, either and was always upset by it. Then I saw South Park. It is a very funny show.

Haha, very funny story! Hey, did you see that your "buns" are famous over at JenLa's knit blog awards?

The "kill Kenny" story is hysterical. And the red bun drops... if I wasn't in the midst of a reality check right now...

Hee. I LOVE HER. she's simply gorgeous. And I laugh because I remember all the flap about that show when it first came out, how subversive and unwholesome everyone (well, not EVERYONE) thought it was....and now here are us middle-aged ladies making little South Park characters of ourselves up!!! Hee. Darn, I should have put red mittens on my girl. I guess Dave, my personal stylist, thought the red hat was enough.

My SIL introduced us to South Park when my daughter was a baby. Cartman's "Son of a $#@^%" became my favorite swear. My daughter was an early talker (and its been 7 LONG years!) One day she tripped, and out of that sweet little toddler mouth came "Son of a $#@^%" with the perfect Cartman inflection!
Those red Bun Drops are GORGEOUS!
