I'm too lazy to think of anymore.
Sorry missed the bit about Big Daddy and Giant Hatstacks.
When Flashy and I were young pups we used to see Shirley wrestle at Morecambe's very own Caesar's Palace called The Dome.
Flashy stole the show with a great insult to Big Daddy but that's another story. Nonetheless the second's bucket was involved...
I guess you Brits didn't get to experience the joy of Underoos ®? Lovely t-shirts with your favorite superhero on them and matching underpants. I'm fairly certain that sleepovers with all my little mates and I running around in our undies resulted in my being gay. I could be wrong though.
