I have just posted a picture of ElectraWoman and DynaGirl. There is no particular reason for such a thing.
There exists something called The Electra Woman and Dyna Girl Webopedia. There is no particular reason for such a thing.
Summoned to Electra-base
By the electracoms they wear.
Lori and Judy dare to face
any criminal anywhere.
Sids and Marty Kroft are the minions of Satan, you know that don't you?
Posted by: readymade on January 9, 2003 12:35 PMKrofft-even more proof that they're not of this earthly plane. And there is just no excuse for H.R. Puf'n'stuf.

Professor Chaos: "This is indeed my most devious invention ever!"
Nameless underling: "What's it called, Professor?"
Professor Chaos: "I call it...the ElectraVibe."
Note: This wasn't terribly amusing to me, until I googled for "electravibe" and came up with this.

Did she actually say "Electra-Far Out!"
That is so cool.
Posted by: jpoulos on January 9, 2003 12:58 PMNot to mention the Electra Complex, that emerged under hypnotherapy years later.
Posted by: kafkaesque on January 9, 2003 01:09 PMForget those fools (actually, I had never heard of them before today), there is only one superheroine who has captured my heart. And yeah, I'd sleep with her too.
If, one day, I should take a bride, she will wear black latex.
Posted by: jpoulos on January 9, 2003 02:16 PMFunny. I had my hands on one of these a few weeks ago. Almost went home with it.

Elctra this, electra-that,
made me elect to change the channel as a kid, one of the first shows I did so.

True, but mourning becomes Electra.
Oh dear, O'Neill is now spinning in his grave. Forgive me, Eugene!
Posted by: witchstone on January 9, 2003 03:12 PMActually the first show to make me do that, IIRC, was an episode of The Carol Burnett Show in which she played this woman who lived in a basement who kept getting older and more incoherent as the episode went on. I musta been about 7 or so. I distinctly remember saying aloud, "I've got better things to do than watch this woman get old." Then I went off to play with my legos or something.
Oddly enough, I usually find Carol Burnett amusing these days.
Posted by: jonmc on January 9, 2003 03:18 PMIf it wasn't for Carol Burnett, we'd have no Dorf. Think about it.
Posted by: kafkaesque on January 9, 2003 03:19 PMI recall that Electra Woman and Dyna Girl was the first television show that aroused more.... ahem... adolescent feelings in me.
Come to think of it, I think we may have reached the root cause for my addiction to anime.
Posted by: eyeballkid on January 9, 2003 03:22 PMI wanted to post this on the latest SUV thread on Mefi, but Matt deleted it first.
So, without further ado:
The concept "HR Giger's HR Pufnstuf" has elicited wonderful things from the depths of my subconscious, thanks Kaf.

A spinoff with Burt Ward would be gangbusters.
Posted by: Cyrano on January 9, 2003 04:16 PMCrash, you are teh Electro-Dali of our times!
Also, I'm forced to type this while reaching around the massive erection that has been inspired by ElectroWoman and DynaGirl. Please excuse any mustaeks. And thank you Lupo.
Posted by: stavrosthewonderchicken on January 9, 2003 06:52 PM...'massive' being used in a relative sense, I hasten to add.
Posted by: stavrosthewonderchicken on January 9, 2003 07:29 PMAh, Electrobroad and Dynachick are Ok, but the got nothin' on those twin chicks from Mothra who's pretty snappy is his own right.
Posted by: jonmc on January 9, 2003 08:57 PM
I dunno, kaf, lets pull the legs apart and check for mothballs...
Posted by: jonmc on January 9, 2003 09:46 PMIf you have to give yourself a reacharound, the massivity is implied.
Posted by: Crash on January 9, 2003 10:03 PMHow about a rhubarb and custard candy?
I tried for the first time today based on the advice of the nice English dude who wrote this book. I gave one to lisa, she thought it tasted weird, but I thought it was excellent, but then again I like Morinaga Chews, so I may not be representative
Posted by: jonmc on January 9, 2003 10:43 PMOne day I want to go to Jonmc's house with a bundle of candy-covered offal meats and film him eating them.
Is that wrong?
Posted by: kafkaesque on January 10, 2003 11:59 AMWill this involve dressing jonmc up like Dynagirl?
Posted by: eyeballkid on January 10, 2003 01:48 PMOh, come on eyeball, I'd look so much hotter in ElectraWoman's outfit.
Posted by: jonmc on January 10, 2003 01:50 PMBut jon, pigtails are much more you than that Farrah-hair.
Posted by: tizzie on January 10, 2003 01:53 PMI admit...with some trepidation, mind you...that as a child, I once dressed up as Dyna-Girl for halloween. My mom dressed up as Electra-Woman...proving once again that moms will do extraordinary things to make their children happy. ;)
