    Graduation!

    Congratulations Bear. Is all your college behind you now or might you still take some further courses in your field? Best wishes to a happy and successful career.

    The ant and the aardvark

    Thanks Martin. It's one of several avatars I like to temporarily switch to once in a while for fun. Yeah I guess aardy didn't get it as bad as Wile E. But I still wouldn't want to be in his shoes. (Well, he didn't wear shoes. But Bert did. Remember his sneaks in "Doin' the pigeon?" :( ).

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    Yeah I also think the aardvark segment is the original film. Looks exactly the same as I remember it. And the bird on me segment is definitely the orignal. I remember those giraffe scenes just like that. Plus you can tell by the color and film quality that it has that early 70's look. And thanks...

    Baseball 2006

    Yep, they battle each other this upcoming week. But during this weekend Philly was cheering for the Brew Crew, and was delighted that they took two of three from the Mets. Now the Phils trail NY by just a game.

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    Great to hear this one again. I always liked both Joe Raposo's singing in this song and the background music throughout. And by the way, from my memories of this song from the early seventies, I don't remember the footage of all these children at the zoo looking at the kangaroos. I just recall...

    Sesame Street parody in Mad Magazine

    Really? Howard Cosell was on "Sesame Street" with Ernie? I'd really enjoy seeing that clip. Also, I always wondered if he did an offscreen voice on an early 70's Sesame Street segment. It involved that pretty much empty looking room and at least one kid (a girl named Tracy). The way the voice...

    Baseball 2006

    Well the Phillies continue to surprise. Swept three from the Reds at Cincinnati this weekend and have won 13 of their last 14 games.

    More Electric Company Memories

    I think I very vaguely remember that one. I don't recall what they used in place of candlestick maker. How about one skit where Morgan Freeman plays a contestant on a game show and Skip Hinnant is the host. Can't remember the name of the game show. Every time Morgan Freeman would say a word...

    Baseball 2006

    Aaron Rowand had quite an amazing catch in centerfield last night for the Phillies. He ended up smashing into the fence and broke his nose. But he managed to hang on to the ball as he dropped to the ground. It's been submitted by several people on youtube.

    Incompatable dvd

    Good idea about checking the manual. After looking through it I see it really didn't address incompatible dvds (other than if the region code is different). The manual just mentions a few other things that can be incompatible like CD-ROMs and JPEG files that are too large. The box of the "I Love...

    Incompatable dvd

    Well here we are almost a year later and I just encountered my second experience with incompatible dvds. This time it was with my recently purchased "I Love Lucy" season 6 dvds. All 4 dvds give the "Incompatable disc. The disc is incompatable with the player" message. This is the only time it's...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    Thanks GonzoLeaper. That link did work. Only thing is, the clip itself, being 1:53, only goes to the part when Maria gets out of the bottle. So there's no coat, goat, and boat. I'm not sure if you have the complete clip. But even if not, I love seeing these early 70's sketches again so much...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    Same thing for me. That's too bad; it would be nice seeing this one again. The coat, goat, and (toy) boat. A couple of people left feedback comments on the video, so for some reason it played okay for them.

    Well the A's often get real hot after the All Star game. Wow 9 in a row for the Phillies now, as they beat the Mets tonight.

    Favorite Bert and Ernie Sketch

    Okay thanks. And was the man dropping the shoes supposed to be Gordon? I can't recall if Ernie specified a name. But Ernie and Bert were supposed to be underneath Susan and Gordon, right?

    Favorite Bert and Ernie Sketch

    I asked this question about a year ago and since no one ever responded, I thought I'd bump the question in case a newer member might have some details, or an older member who may have missed seeing this the first time it was posted might catch it this time. Thanks.

    We have a new baby! Well....sort of

    Thanks for showing us those, Beth. Taylor is cute (and yes you are too!) :) I like that one of Taylor in the bag. In that one with you she looks to be growing to a pretty decent size already. Does she let you two hold her for long periods? My mom has two cats and one lets you hold it for a...

    Favorite Cookie Monster Sketch

    Getting back for a moment to the "smallest one gets the cookie" sketch. Does anyone know who the puppeteers involved were? Obviously Frank Oz was Cookie Monster (except for perhaps the final line where Cookie says in a very high pitched voice "I do anything for Cookie"). I would guess based on...

    See? Tom IS indeed better than Jerry. Heh heh. :) And yes, huge congratulations again on your imminent wedding, Beth.
