E is for Ectoplasm

Her name is Rio and she apparently dances on the sand

If you’re of a certain age and have had a proper upbringing you will know that E is for ectoplasm.  You will also know that ectoplasm is from Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters is one of the greatest films ever made.

That should be the end of the post really.

These alphabet things seem to be turning into streams of consciousness for me and oddly they seem to lead me back to the eighties in some ways, a time which I will admit to having problems remembering.  It’s all a bit hazy and feels a lifetime ago but as I write and ponder on things they start to come back to me slowly.

Perhaps it is because there is little in my life which leads me back to that time.  I grew up in Africa and have little or no contact with people from back them so seldom have cause to think about it.

So ectoplasm got me to thinking of Ghostbusters which led me to remembering that I first watched it at a drive in theatre in a place called Evander in South Africa.  A few of us had hitch hiked there with our sleeping bags and Granville’s dad picked us afterwards and as clear as day I can now remember him asking his son if he had slipped a certain young lady the tongue.

He hadn’t, that I remember too.  Not for lack of trying I am sure.

Anyway, this turned out different to what I was intending to write but I will go with it, why not.

  1. “Ghostbusters is one of the greatest films ever made.”

    Yep, yep! I’m in agreement with that line.

    Umm… you are such a kindred spirit with this post! I’m supposed to be writing 74 which will more than likely turn out to sound like this here random.

    I’m glad you went with it though. (*Chuckles*)

  2. By the way… I like that you relate Ectoplasm, only to Ghostbusters. It’s quite telling as it is an actual word in the world of the paranormal. LOL. So adorable. (Well, you probably knew that. Sorry, I’m the annoying little sister come to pick on you!) Hugs!

  4. So basically… I can say what I want? That is… throw out insults and explicatives at you and berate your writing? You have total control? Well… that is… very smart. LOL

    (sorry… mom told me I could just open the door without knocking! Ha!)
