Hello, everybody!
Mavis used to not appeal to me at all. I have changed now that I have figured out why.
It was that Mavis' sill stripes being alternating black and yellow subconciously reminded me of what I think of as a "lumberjack" shirt. Now that I have figured out that it is a shirt, I am OK with "her." Orange and black stripes would not remind me of a lumberjack shirt, but even though I've never seen such a stark yellow in a shirt, such is the way I am.
My office is adjacent to the production supervisor, a lady who does not dress this way in regular life, as evidenced by the times our paths have crossed in supermarkets. But since she might get into some dirty areas, she wears a "lumberjack" shirt to work. She is a fine person; she is just no nonsense at work.
Remarks? Be nice, now.
So now I will get a Mavis.

The first time I ever saw mavis was the little wooden toy, and the stripes on the toy were (and still are) bright neon green! Of corse, I plan on getting Bachman's mavis 'cause she's one of my fav. chars and I do need a switcher smaller than my F3 or RS-32.
Guilford Guy- Was that SERIOUSLY in a Flying circus episode or did you make it up? I own the complete series, but only seen the first disc. If it is really a skit, please let me know what episode it's in!
Forgot which episode bu the lumberjack song is a classic. If you have i tunes i can send it to ya!
Good show, Guilford Guy!
Yep, before I had finished writing the initial post that song was going through my head.
