Found another reference on TV Tropes and on a seemingly unlikely page at that.  More specifically, the reference was to one of the...stranger Alice inspired works that are out there (incidently, whoever was behind that one is a very warped man). If anyone is actually interested, follow the link (tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DeadAllAlong), ( Read more... )

Said reference was found while looking up something for my dad, specifically the name of a particular type of tea (you can probably guess where this is heading). Anyway, one of the sites to pop up on the first page of the search results was this: madteaparty.wordpress.com/category/punjab/

Today's reference is courtesy of TV Tropes.org, a site which has eaten more of my time then any site should. Said reference described a...unusual use of quotes from Jabberwocky in a fan fiction.

 Today's reference kind of came from nowhere and made very little sense, although I suppose that since this is Alice In Wonderland that we're talking about, that's probably fitting.  Basically there was a thread on a forum that I go on occasionally go on entitled "You are the...Sorting Hat" which was basically about what you'd do if you were the ( Read more... )

Haven't come across anything today, however I did come across one on Tuesday but neglected to post it at the time due to being unwell. Said reference was in the film 'Dodgeball', with an commentator saying "Average Joe's hopes to drive their vorpal blade snicker-snack deep into the heart of the dodgeball jabberwocky that is the Globogym Purple ( Read more... )

The annual excuse for fancy dress and excessive sugar consumption has not let me down. I didn't go out myself as I'm too old for trick or treating and don't have any friends to invite me to parties *world's smallest violin plays in the background*. However, having a total lack of a social life is not something my sister shares and she did get ( Read more... )

This time I've found an actual quote, which counts because I was looking fora particular quote about dogs at the time (which I still haven't found by the way). The quote I did find was: "Alice came to a fork in the road. 'Which road do I take?' she asked. 'Where do you want to go?', responded the Cheshire cat. 'I don't know.' Alice answered. 'Then ( Read more... )

Bit of a dry spell recently but I found a good one today in an online discussion on education. The quote: "Last century, AFAIK, education was vastly memorization-focused, especially primary education. I've got this turn-of-the-century arithmetic book that is just arithmetic facts rhymed to help you remember them-nothing conceptual at all. ( Read more... )

Got off to a good start today. I've just got up a couple of hours ago and I've already found a reference in a completely non-Wonderland related fan fic, the exact quote being; "Worse, if he fell through, he wasn't going to end up in Wonderland." Link to the fic if anyone's interested: www.fanfiction.net/s/6062841/1/Dead_of_Night

Haven't found anything today, which isn't suprising since apart from going to an appointment down town I haven't been out today. I did come across a good one on Wednesday though, since a flick though a TV magazine resulted in me spotting a documentary series called Wonderland, which had nothing to do with it's namesake. There was also a couple on ( Read more... )
