I wasn't paying close attention to any 'coincidences', as I didn't really expect any, and it was far too thrilling to finally see a long televised interview with Sir Mozzer again, but I couldn't help giggling at his answer to the question "what he does to prepare himself in the last 5-10 minutes before going on stage" (18 min 30 sec). Here's what he said:
"Nothing, ever... nothing. No yodelling, no alcohol, no gargling, no JUGGLING..."
Seems like he changed his mind on that very quickly! Or Monsieur was just lying, as he finds it very useful.
But moving on from that and now coming to the title of this blog entry - one of those three M was there in person, coincidentally being the interviewee, but two more M were present for anyone who looked closely - not me of course, but luckily there are others whose attention span isn't as limited. It was mentioned once that the TWoM blog was basically set up by Orange M. and Kerry M. (which in my deluded opinion spawned the TTY statement titled "4 Morrissey" the next day), and it was first noticed by Jaz that at 3 min 50 sec, after talking about "boos", he seems to get aware that it's a homophone of "booze", and makes a drinking gesture while his lips form "Boozey", which, as some of you might know, is our favourite (and completely undeserved) nickname for Mlle Kerry. Here's a screen grab:
The presence of the other M was noticed by Sarah Munro on Twitter, and you can imagine that this old Fruit almost suffered a stroke - look at his watch, visible at around 4 min 10 sec:
Right, I'll go back to fanning myself.
Some might argue that it's ridiculous to turn it into a sign each time when Monsieur appears with something orange, which might coincidentally happen on occasion, and I'm not even disagreeing... But it wasn't just a bracelet, it was a wristwatch, and I'm a Clockwork Orange after all. And although he was juggling only two Oranges, there was a THIRD one visible. I've blogged about flimsier signs before!
Speaking of which - and going back to the Green Room at James Corden again - has anyone else noticed that the flowers on the table appear to be roses?
They're PINK - but does it mean anything? Who knows!
There are not three oranges, the bucket is full of them. Morrissey always has oranges and bananas on his rider. Please stop this nonsense.
ReplyDeleteOh no, Sir. That's definitely THREE oranges in hand or bowl, a bunch of bananas on the table (not in the bowl, that is important, please pay attention!), and a couple of b***d PEACHES in the bowl again. You'll have to trust my eye here, I'm a fruit expert.
DeleteYes, just three oranges! I think we all have to pay more attention to details. Thank you.
DeleteYou forgot the bit where you doubted me though, lol how many views did it take for you to change your mind?
ReplyDeleteAll of the guests had pink roses.
Just one! Where I didn't immediately stop the video after the "boos" part and decided there definitely was no hand gesture...
DeleteAnd yes, the roses bit (pink or otherwise) was super flimsy, which is exactly why I included it, but I think people know what to expect from my blobs by now!
Stop this utter nonsense. He doesn't know who any of you are, especially Kerry. Kerry I really think you need to see a shrink.
ReplyDeleteI haven't even bloody said anything anon!
DeleteThank you for you much needed advice.
Shame you have to hide behind a anon and troll me, why? Are you scared? Or taking ze piss?
Your*
DeleteGood heavens anon guy, I can't believe you call all of this NONSENSE, I really can't. And stop attacking Mlle Kerry, it makes you look like a VERY SOUR PLUM. Yes I know, that's an incredibely rude and harsh insult, but in this case it IS justified. I'm truly not sorry, but there's no point in denying or trying to cover it up anymore. "Give plums an anon mask, and they will show their true face", as a famous writer once wrote.
DeleteWhat on earth is the point of her going to a shrink? They just sit and nod and doodle.
DeleteDon't suck the boos/booze pun into the symbollockology, that was a genuine Wildean quip to the renowned tortoise's asking if Moz gorges on audience applause.
ReplyDeleteyeah right and his drinking gesture was just one of reluctant resignation to the likelihood that LK wasnt gonna get the joke!!! youre talking out your aubergine, shaggy
DeleteSafe and Shaggy, I think you've BOTH unwittingly stumbled onto a truth. Morrissey was indeed making reference to Kerry's nickname, and simultaneously making a direct reference to boos AND a punned reference to booze as a coping mechanism. There's probably a fourth level in there, too. If you don't think that Morrissey can communicate in three voices at once, this website is not for either of you. Leave!
DeleteI am hereby confirming that there is a fourth level, unintended to be tendered by most, saved to be savoured by few.
DeleteWho keeps carrying on with these numbers?
DeleteWho who who???
You, you, you!
ReplyDeleteSpeakKKKKKInngggg of coincidences ! !! i havvvie have theem toO! O! However, I don't understand the M sign.... ... hehe I DID, YES, DID see some video of Morrissey with oranges on YT, and just thought how strange . .. .. I didn't catch THAT .. . SO NICCEEEE EE E EE E E E E OBSERVATION! ! ! So he wore an orange wristwatch for you? He does threes for you?? He said gracias three times... yes, that was were you left your comment. JTHM
ReplyDeleteGood evening Mlle! I see you have found your way to us. And how delightful that you seem to bring just the right amount of insanity! If you would like to fully join in, I recommend to set up a Twitter account. I'm @mecaniqueorange - you'll easily find the rest of us from there. Maybe even the Monsieur himself.
