Call us crazy but we've always had a thing for Marry Poppins. Not Julie Andrews, mind you, because while she was a stunner in her day, she was pretty much an old lady when we were exposed to the her Disney classic. However once immortalized on celluloid, a character remains frozen in time forever. A good example of this being Matthew Broderick, what wanker, but Ferris...without a doubt, the Man. Marry Poppins is the paragon of attractive femininity -- classically beautiful, (subtly) sexy, posh English accent , wonderful singing voice, good dancer, high maintenance (not for everyone but we like it), cleans the house, does magic tricks, and above else has just the right amount of arrogance. Screw confidence, we like our women cocky..."Mary Poppins, practically perfect in every way."
In post-puberty trips to Disneyland, when we've seen the Marry Poppins look-alike, it's always taken the utmost will power to keep from asking her if she fancied a trip over to Mr. Toad's Wild Ride for a quick shag.
In the spirit of Marry Poppins:
I once knew a man with a wooden leg named Smith.
Really? What was the name of his other leg?
Still funny after all these years. Seriously, many of you probably haven't watched Marry Poppins in like 20 years, and even if you're not smitten with Marry like us, it's worth watching because Dick Van Dyke, is a comedic genius.
