Well about a year ago, I found a site selling the original hardback book, bought it, cut all the pictures out, and framed them on my bedroom wall. Really.

Edit: Apart from the Anne Diamond shots. I fucking hate Anne Diamond. That bitch.

You are a true inspiration, and my only regret is that I have but one upvote to give. That, my friend, is pure art.

Once saw him cowtail a gang of kids with a very ostentatious backhand (he was presenting some childrens show at the time) on his way to a Backstage Door with a loud "Fack Orff!"

I was shocked and amused in equal measure.

Should be posted on r/trees

[–]shrimpfag 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

That picture gets reposted to r/trees/ an average of 10 times a day and hits the front page about once a week. Probably more... It's pretty much like a karma wheel or whatever.

Why? What does Christopher Biggins have to do with Marijuana?

[–]nigganigga 5 points6 points ago

it's the pineapple

few people know this but pineapples are in the same genus as cannabis

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

The reason so few people know this might be because it's outright wrong. They have extremely little in common aside from being monocots.

I was hoping someone would catch that.

I've always wondered if there was a legitimate connection or it if was, you know, just a high thing.

[–]xMIASMAx 0 points1 point ago

The pineapple is popular in trees because the upvotes look like little pineapples. :)

In all fairness, "Anana" is pineapple in virtually every language except English. Only a minor sewing correction and it's fine.

If you take out the b in banana, it would make a lot more sense.

I have the book that this picture is from. It's a goldmine of horrible sweaters modeled by British actors and actresses.
