...and other such fun urban legends.

Marc Almond swallowed a pint of Levi's jacket after shifting himself in a train station while jumping from the roof he heard the phone ringing.

I swear I read on an ancient thread here once a rumour that Barbara Windsor had ruined her bum and had to go round wearing a "bumpon" to stop the leakage.

Wasn't there one about Sarah Greene, a rugby team and a snooker table?

No I think the Kray twins had done it by stuffing "all kinds of things" up there.

Lobsters, maybe, like poor headless Jayne Mansfield.

what like dead bodies and stuff

The Dog

Prince used to drive around in an ice cream van - but its not what you think! He used to wait for a queue of eager children to form, and then he'd just drive away laughing like a purple mainiac.

The Una Stubbs one was one of the first urban legends I heard. As a kid I was blown away by the sheer possibility it happened.

Is there a name for things that had urban legend status before the internet, but are now commonly know facts?

Alien and the Hovis advert having the same director.
The chorus of I Am The Walrus being about Eric Burdon's fetish for having eggs cracked on him.
Charlie Chaplin's Benny Hill collection.
Terrible UK celebrities and morgue access in return for charity work.

i mean the Hovis advert makes perfect sense that a film director made his name making memorable adverts before his feature films came out

bloody hell he's 83.

Always proud to see that our top three spot's held for this classic

I watched Pretty Woman last night and I think it's literally the only thing I've seen Richard Gere in. He's definitely riding on the gerbil fame

Somewhere in the vaults of News UK is a photograph of Debbie McGee in flagrante with an alsatian.

Makes no sense in playground logic though.

Michael Jackson doing the music for Sonic 3 but not getting credited on account of him going to Tampa.
Star Wars Holiday Special.

Was pleased to recently hear a reference to Tom Baker's "Tom's putting it in now" pillow talk, I was worried that was disappearing from the general consciousness.

Fred Talbot and Jimmy Corkhill were gay lovers and lived together. This was put forward as the reason Fred was embarrassed and not open to letting Keith Chegwin into his house when he turned up Down Your Doorstep on The Big Breakfast.

Turns out it was because there was a 12 year old boy crying in the front room.

I bet he did, the dirty old bollocks, I bet he fucking did.

Marc Almond isn't so much of a household name in America, so when that old stomach pump myth is trotted out over there, they say it was Rod Stewart instead. Which is weird because they don't come much more stridently heterosexual than old Rodders.

Going really old school, Gary Coleman was 30 years old when he appeared in Diff'rent Strokes.

Why would sticking a gerbil up there be pleasurable anyway? Does the fur tickle or something?

I think its the Rat Man story transferred to pop culture. It was a gay panic rumour before being attached to celebrities.
