Yes, friends, the story you've heard about Goldilocks (that simpering, sweet and oh so destructive imp) is ALL WRONG! The real story is...well, you've gotta listen to actually GET IT! (we're not gonna give up our secrets that easily! Unlike the avocados I found at the bottom of a bag in my pantry which had been mouldering there forever and were practically walking across the floor although the bag did slow them down! I gave those up pretty immediately!)
We're familiar with the old tale, one of a wayward lass who stumbles upon a supposedly empty cottage, but is it really? When she finds a clean house and hot porridge you think she would be on her merry, but NO, she enters, bitches about everything and then, falls asleep in a bed. What an absolute knob! But we discuss that, and so much more, including my desire for frontier justice, in this episode!

And courtesy of "The Guardian" here is a bit more information about the BEEF between Lord Byron and Southey!
And just for funsies, a great shot of Matthew Goode, who is goode enuf for me!
And here's an even more delightfully decanted version of the evolution of this familiar tale from "Mental Floss."
PLEASE CONSIDER RATING AND REVIEWING AS WE ARE DESPERATE FOR BOTH IN GENERAL.
And please do take care to avoid the flying squirrel. Mmmm, thanks!
