Well, isn't that a great way to wake up?

What a great way to wake up!

**Posted by besleybean** January 25, 2016 5:10 pm

Yep, I saw that too!

Oh it was the perfect way to wake!

When you're helping your son play a game on the iPad and get excited when you spot something unexpected

Wow.

Oooh!!

**Posted by Yitzock** February 7, 2016 2:10 pm

Oh! Ha ha! What that his own customization?

Sorry for double posting but I found something that made me laugh on my Tumblr blog....
So, the title of the topic uses the term "Cumbercookie" which I still think is a pretty fun name to use. Well, I think it was back in November 2013 that I saw that post and reblogged it. Now, it was true at the time that I didn't know much about Benedict and his roles at the time and hadn't really seen him in much of anything, but looking back on it now, it's funny to see that post on my blog with the tags "Not a huge fan," "but yeah this is perfect."

Not a huge fan. Not a huge fan. Well, that's a lie these days.

When you giggle while watching some 'battle of the mascots' things on telly, and Paul van GOG is a dragon... (GOG being the team...)

When you get a new tag for your car and you are willing to pay extra for the one that supports the Georgia Aquarium, because it has a penguin on it.

**Posted by Yitzock** February 25, 2016 9:47 pm

Don't you mean a pengweng?
(I jest, I'm sure Benedict would hate that we still joke about that)

**Posted by ukaunz** February 25, 2016 9:50 pm

My kids and I call them pengwengs all the time

**Posted by ukaunz** February 25, 2016 9:50 pm

And we still play Yellow Car too.

**Posted by Yitzock** February 25, 2016 10:08 pm

Do they call them that because of Benedict or because they are little? Also, I have a feeling Yellow Car would not be the easiest game to play where I live - I hardly ever see them, just the occasional yellow VW bug and the yellow convertible that belongs to one of the neighbours.

**Posted by ukaunz** February 25, 2016 10:13 pm

No, they say pengwengs because I showed them the video of Benedict saying it that way, and it's just become one of those family jokes

Yellow cars are not too common here, you'll see a few a day, so it makes for a good game.

When you watch a production of "As you like it" and when it comes to the the "All the world's a stage" monologue all you have in your mind is a certain BBC Drama trailer narrated by a certain person.

When you actually get pissed when answering a survey for some man who is writing a book about Sherlock in Denmark... because after the question "Do you consider yourself a fan of Benedict Cumberbatch" comes the question "If you answered yes to the previous, do you define yourself as a Cumberb*tch".

I consider myself a Cumbercookie, thank you very much. But there was no ability to comment on that.

**Posted by Yitzock** March 7, 2016 2:56 am

That's unfortunate, but I suppose a "no" still has some of the same effect.
As for me, I would probably say I'm either a Cumbercookie or a Benaddict.

Never heard that last term!
