Shower thoughts. We've all had them, they're oftentimes weird little ideas that come to us while we're in the shower. And mine are usually really strange so I've compiled a list of some that really stand out to me.
Mickey Mouse Gloves
Why do Mickey and his friends all wear those white gloves? Well, not all his friends; Donald Duck doesn't wear them. Which is another question all on it's own. Why doesn't Donald wear them? Is it because he has feathers? I don't get it.
The Great Pumpkin
In "It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! "Charlie Brown's friend Linus believes that every Halloween The Great Pumpkin rises from the most sincere pumpkin patch and then delivers presents to all the good boys and girls in the world. Where did he get this idea from? All his friends mock him for it so they didn't start it. And his sister also doesn't believe it so it can't be a family thing. So where did The Great Pumpkin come from?
Butt-Ugly Martians
Butt-Ugly Martians was a TV show on Nickelodeon about the titular Martians who come to Earth and want to be a boy band. How did this get green-lit? What kind of nonsense of a premise is that? Honestly. Especially with that title. It's a kids' show with the word "butt" in the name and nobody thought parents would get mad about it?
Cartoons
Almost all of my shower thoughts are about the absurdity of a lot of cartoons of my youth and I really don't know why. I know that in animation you can do a lot more so you can have all these crazy ideas, but, like, who approves all this stuff? Like, what kind of person do you have to be to look at a title like "Biker Mice From Mars" and then say, "That's good. Pay people to make this into a television show and toy line." It mystifies me.
Shower Thoughts
Why do we have these weird thoughts in the shower? What is it about being naked and wet that makes us think of this stuff? Is it because we're more exposed so the questions that float around in the backs of our collective minds come forward? Is that it?
I hope that me sharing my thoughts makes you feel a little more open about sharing yours. And I also not-so-secretly hope that my thoughts now plague your mind also.
