Bill Bailey!!! That makes three cast members of Spaced on NuWho! Can Brian and Tyres be far behind?
The first trailer for this year's Doctor Who Christmas special has been released, and it looks if the Doctor's annual holiday vacation is going to be a bit Narnia-ish. Narnian? Narnian probably sounds better. Anyways, the special will be titled "The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe" which sadly means that even the doctor has forgotten the true meaning of Christmas, which is that a talking lion died for our sins, which include eating too much Turkish Delight. Or something like that. Honestly, I didn't pay a lot of attention in Sunday school.

I paid attention in Sunday school. But only on the Jesus statue above the podium as father O'Flannagan bent me over the chair and removed my shorts and TMNT underwear.
Couldn't recall what happened after, though. How odd. >:3
Which begs the question of what you were doing at a Catholic church in the first place, Ricky: Aren't you a Muslim? XD
The Ustadz (thats what we called our priests) won't put out for me, no matter how much I shook my perky little butt. So I went to a Catholic church because I hear they know exactly what a boy needs from a man. >:3
So take out Jim Broadbent, Professor X, and the Jesus Lion and replace them with The Doctor, a log, and Bill Bailey.
When I saw the title of this post, out of context, I feared a trailer for a Chronicles of Narnia porn parodyXD
I think your iPhone's autocorrect is acting up, Scoot Scoot. When you typed in "delight in", it changes automatically to "feared". >:3
For the longest time, turkish delight was viewed as enhancing male virility.
You go, Edmund!
Well, I always looked at it this way:
Tall albino hottie: "Tell me, boy, what do you want most in the world?"
Kid just entering puberty: "..."
Pale babe: "Well?"
Kid just reaching THAT stage in life: "............................................"
Attractive Sorceress: "Tell me, what would you like?"
Kid: "...................................penis-enhancement candy."
Which she promptly supplies. {g}
I don't know if Lewis knew about that (probably so), but I expect he'd be amused.
And all that pent-up rage that drove him to sold off his family up the creek must be the result of a crushing defeat over an off-screen penis measuring contest with Peter...whose name is also an euphemism for "penis"! XD
In the immortal words of that one Cracked dot com columnist: "Dicks! Dicks! Dicks everywhere! -Count van Count laugh- AH AH AH AH AH AH!!"
Was anyone else severely disappointed when they actually tried Turkish Delight? I guess it's ok, but it's nothing to betray Jesusallegorytakinglion over.
Real Turkish Delight isn't actually chocolate. It's chewy and somewhat gelatinous, and IIRC, made from almond and sugar. Often coated in a lot of powdered sugar, too, and usually flavored - the best I had was rose-flavor, actually.
Rosewater is one of the best sweeteners out there, but I'm biased toward middle-eastern cuisine, anyway.
I had the pleasure of tasting the real thing, as in this mutha right here:

Rosewater is AWESOME! -angelic choir-
Depends. There's good turkish delight, and there's crappy turkish delight. The good stuff is indeed VERY GOOD.Now, concerning selling your soul and all? This was in WWII-England, when rationing forces people to od things like invent carrot cake because they didn't have enough sweetener. To a nine-year-old kid, the compressed sugar of turkish delight would be like eating pure gold.
