One time Bernadette explained how she did that thing; ever since I've had mystical arms myself. I'll tell you the secret for a batch of Zoom Shirt Jello snacks.

(Two different Jello colors chilled in stages to make stripes -- too obscure?)

Jell-O's one of those things, right? Where you think it's the name of the product when actually it's a brand name, like Magic Marker, Band-Aid, Scotch Tape, Xerox, etc. I just realized that.

I know the mystical secret as well, and I often bewitch people with it. I'm waiting for the day when someone tries to mug me (again). This time I'll be ready for him. He'll be all like, "Hey man, give me your wallet" and I'll be all like, "Oh yeah, how about a little Bernadette wupp-ass!!!? Woosh, woosh, woosh!" He won't know what hit him.

Kleenex is another one, right?

Octopunk said...

LOL

You freak.

Yeah, Kleenex is one, too.

Careful, she has power!

Aaah! She never stops! Must...buy...her CD...

I wish there was a picture of her now. Maybe she's fat.

Good old imdb! I liked this: "Having no dance or performance she could do for her beginning intro on Zoom, thirteen-year-old Bernadette did her arm twisting, which looked like she would be criss-crossing her arms, but then quickly pulled them apart. This still stands as the single most identifiable trademark of any of the individual Zoomers from the seventies show."

More so than the kid with the horn and the bell? Awwww...
