WP Prompt: What tattoo do you want and where would you put it?

When I was in high school, I wanted a Wolf tattoo because I loved wolves.

When I became a Morticians Apprentice I wanted a tattoo of Anubis.

My Mom suggested a little nightshade flower, because she’s my Mom and gets me.

I walk by a tattoo parlor that a lot of my friends have  used and over the years I debated going in and getting the job done. I never got around to it and to be honest I’m glad because now the idea of those particular tattoos sort of bore me. .

On the other hand, if I could look into the future and see that my tattoos could create the stir the 3,000 year old Deir el-Medina mummy has caused I’d go out and get all three of those tattoos tonight-wouldn’t you?

The tattoos include two seated baboons depicted around a wadjet eye (top row), a symbol of protection.

The Timelords Vibe The Blues Brothers

For this week’s Song Lyric Sunday theme, Jim Adam has asked us to find a song that mentions a bell, buzzer, chime, gong, horn, siren, or whistle. This song doesn’t use the word ” siren ” but it generously features one through the song, so that counts, doesn’t it?

When I first saw this video, I asked myself-

why are the Blues Brothers running down Daleks in a field?

And then I thought.

Who Cares. That’s pretty cool.

Of course, it wasn’t really the Blues Brothers driving that car- but hey, the Blues Brothers hated Nazis

and Daleks have that Nazi vibe so- it sort of made sense.

“Doctorin’ the Tardis” is an electronic novelty pop single by the Timelords (“Time Boy” and “Lord Rock”, aliases of Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty, better known as the KLF). The song is predominantly a mash-up of the Doctor Who theme music, Gary Glitter’s “Rock and Roll (Part Two)” with sections from “Blockbuster!” by Sweet and “Let’s Get Together Tonite” by Steve Walsh. The single was not well received by critics but was a commercial success, reaching number 1 in the UK Singles Chart in June 1988, and in New Zealand, and charting in the Top 10 in Australia, Ireland and Norway.
