Hey TT, I'm almost ashamed to admit that the first time I watched TPB, I just didn't get it. A few years later I begrudgingly watched it again, and found myself laughing all the way through. I quote from it regularly!
Have fun storming the castle!
Think it'll woik?
It'll take a miracle
Bye! Bye!

Puffins are the mascot of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, so here's a pic of one of my neighbours for you, belM.Puffins are also Newfoundland's provincial bird. They've got colonies of them on these big offshore rocks/small islands. (I haven't been out to see them yet but I hear they're cool.)

phantasmagorical, a word that is sadly overlooked in the presence of the all conquering weird. ps. Does anyone know what discombobulated means, and can you discombobulate something?

I think discombobulated means as confused as Bob is, whoever Bob is.
To discombobulate is to confuse someone as much as Bob is confused.
To discombobulate Bob is a cruel, abusive act 'cuz he's already confused.
Discombobulated regards,
Discomdudbulated
PS Edit: And this from Dictionary.com:
dis·com·bob·u·late (dskm-bby-lt)
tr.v. dis·com·bob·u·lat·ed, dis·com·bob·u·lat·ing, dis·com·bob·u·lates
To throw into a state of confusion. See Synonyms at confuse.

Byzantine or Byzantium - such exotic overtones!
Byzantine is so much more attractive than Byzantium, to me at least. Always conjures 'labyrinthine' overtones - not quite sure why unless it is some confused mental link via political intrigue and mysterious courts.
BTW the Vikings apparently called Constantinople Miklagard. That always added to the attraction. All those names for one city - how could it not be interesting? And I still haven't visited...
(maybe that multiplicity of names added to the labyrinthine overtones too?)

I've always been fond of
Albuquerque (sounds quirky) and
Tucson (smooth, and so easily misspelled - like "Fuchsia")
