rabid1stA.K.A. "Where do you get your ideas?"
As I recently told one of you...whenever anyone asks me where I get my ideas I generally say "from the collected unconscious...and I just write them down." But from time to time my beta babes have accused me of running so close to canon that I border on psychic...for example: Back in my Buffy days I would write dialogue that appeared later on the show almost verbatim.
One of those moments happened yesterday.
See, I learned last week that in Britain they refer to the name brand of soda rather than use a generic term like...well...soda. I had the Doctor drink a rootbeer and that was just...wrong...wrong...wrong...so I had to change it to juice.
This time...forewarned, I went for accuracy. I found this internet shop that sells British Groceries...and picked out a brand name soda...for the Doctor to favor. I picked it at random...I just liked the orange color (I love me some Minute Maid Orange Soda). The name of the soda was Irn-Bru. The Doctor grabs a six pack for the TARDIS stores while shopping. I wrote that at noon yesterday. At about 3:00 p.m. David Tennant Dot Com...posts an article with David quoted as saying...
A shocked Tennant said: "If my eight-year-old self could see me at the Royal Albert Hall winning a prize for playing the Doctor on telly, he would need a stiff shot of Irn-Bru."
Que the frickin' Twilight Zone music, man!
