I would seriously love a stuffed frog. As in, either an actual, dead frog in a jar, or a plush animal. And I should call it Jeeves and put it on top of my bookcase.

Anyone else get these absurd ideas? Like, Jeeves&Wooster-related things they'd want? (Aside from the brilliant Jeeves alarm clock, of course, which we'd all kill to own.)

I could never, never, never get the blinkety blankety blonkety sound teasers to play on any of the sites I went to for that silly clock. *pout*

I so want one of those lamps, btw.

That's...not...Kanye West, the singer's blog, is it?

I want a valet.

And I'd kill for Bertie's wardrobe (well, the Jeeves-approved bits, anyway). Waistcoats really ought to come back into fashion.

That'd be terribly annoying for those of us who wear waistcoats in everyday life (way before I heard of J&W, mind!). I might have to start wearing things like... jeans and t-shirts D: *shudder*

As for wanting a valet... looking at my flat, I *need* one. :P

There are several sites with awesomely fun rubber duckies for sale. I'd suggest, right off the top of my head, that you peek at www.ArchieMcPhee.com and see their range of duckie goodness. They have a lot of goofy stuff there that's just hilarious to ogle, if not own.

Ditto to wanting Jeeves! Or a butler, like one of those who work at the Plaza Hotel.
But I'd settle for a T-shirt that says "What would Jeeves do?" and a poster of the same. And a leather-bound collection of the books. And a Special Edition DVD of the Granada series, chock full of extras. And the World of Wooster series (I haven't seen any of those eps!). And a Chesterfield.
And eventually a London flat laid out more or less like the one in the Granada series (though I'd settle for just a nice London flat).
And a whangee.
And I intend to get them all before I die! Muahahahaha! (Though the first two would be rather... difficult.)

I am hoping to own a chocolate bunny rabbit called Bertie shortly - it's one of those 'pick a name for the whatever-it-is' competitions they're doing for Easter at work. And it has a rather confused look on its face & one of the names that could be picked was Bertie. So I had to :)

..I have a server called Reginald, 'cause the first server is called Bertram.. The Bertram thing wasn't intentionally Woosterish, but given that I already had Bertram, the big, black, sleek-looking thing I got just had to be called Reginald. One of Reginald's hard drives is called Marjorie, for those of you who know your Boffle.

*is intrigued by the word 'Boffle' and has no notion what it may mean*
Lady, what might a Boffle be?

From: [identity profile] lady529.livejournal.com
Bless.. Boffle is the pet name of A Bit of Fry and Laurie, aka AboFal. If you read Abofal, it sounds like 'A Boffle', so the show's often referred to as simply Boffle, at least in the UK : )

That and it does sound very cute, Boffle, doesn't it?

Ahhh! Thank you! I've heard about A Bit of Fry and Laurie, but since I came to this whole chunk of fandom/entertainment involving Fry & Laurie only somewhat recently in life, I'm still learning what's what. Have only seen a few bits on YouTube (hilarious, mind you!).

Possibly funny sidenote: I was also curious about "Boffle" because one of the euphamisms for sex that I grew up with was "Boff" ('he was boffing his butler, you know, terribly scandalous'). *snirk*

You should do what I did last year and get the DVD box set *nods* Or dl the entire thing. I grew up with Boffle, and Blackadder, and Jeeves and Wooster etc etc..

Hehe, I've been told that by American friends before, does put the nickname Boffle in a slightly new light, doesn't it? X D

I, too, would adore having the "What would Jeeves do?" t-shirt. *sigh*
As well as that alarm clock (which continues to defy me on the ad sites).
A genuine Jeeves of my very own would send me right into conniption fits of glee, possibly lasting several years. I'm tingly at the very notion.

When, I ask you, WHEN will science advance to the stage where we can whip up a batch of fresh and efficient Jeevesian DNA and pop out a perfect manservant?

When I have enough time (possibly at Easter) I think I am going to print some t-shirts, well one at least, saying 'this t-shirt is not approved by Jeeves'. Other one I would love to make would say 'Wanted: a valet' and then list some details like must know how to cook etc. the way usually people put in ads looking for employee but I just don't have a good subtle hint towards bedroom area yet...

Then of course I would love the clock and the lamps and all the books (*why* is it taking so long for the first part to come to me D:)... Plus I don't have the fourth season on dvd.

Oh, yesterday I had to use a brilliant thingummy at school that I am tempted to steal it or take a picture at least because it said (read actually) it was 'Intelligent flowmeter' and the best part was that it was made by *J&W Scientific*. You can imagine my delight when I saw it... XD

I've never heard of this clock before - am I to understand it speaks in Stephen Fry's voice?

I wouldn't mind such a clock. Mine sounds like a fire alarm, lol.

From: [identity profile] brown-polyester.livejournal.com
Yeah, it does. I kind of want one, but I'm not sure it will wake me up. Mine is ridiculously obnoxious, and it gets me out of bed to shut it off (or hit snooze). When I use the radio setting, I use country music stations, which are just as obnoxious in my mind (though not as loud). But a soft-spoken Jeeves/Fry voice? I might just lie there in bed and listen/fall asleep.

I second the "wanting the entire wardrobe" comment, though I have a few pieces that are close enough. :P
Also, I'm one of those obsessive/lucky people that has the alarm clock and oh! but I love it! I also have a bowler hat cookie cutter, so I need a tophat, tie, ducky, or other sufficiently Berite cookie cutter to go with it!
