Yeah I'm very glad Villanova still got a number one seed. The beating they took from Pitt was humbling, but I still feel optimistic for their chances at a title this year. They really seem to be something special with their experience and four guard system.

Rainy in Philly most of the day, as expected. But it let up a little while ago and I went out for another walk. It's about 56 and no wind, so not too bad. Tomorrow going up to 75! But.... maybe afternoon thunderstorms.

Fantastic! Sunny and 61 right now with no wind! Going up to near 70 this afternoon. Looking forward to an extra long walk! Tomorrow will probably rain, so I gotta make this gorgeous day count.

Could be, Muppets Rule. They're a pretty good team. And sadly, after all the optimism I expressed regarding my Villanova Wildcats yesterday, they fell victim to another Panthers team - Pitt! They really got dominated last night. Oh well, at least it was just the big east tourney and not the NCAA...

Good for you, furryredmonster. I never drink any soda either. Been probably over ten years. I'm glad of it too, beacuse soda really is bad for the body in many ways, including diet soda (which is even worse in some ways). But back when I did drink soda, there was the infamous "Pepsi Challenge"...

Yeah if the purchases of "The Electric Company" dvds did good enough perhaps we'll see at least a "best of" release of classic SS. Hopefully at least some of them will be other than ones shown on Noggin, so we can see other clips that it's been years from seeing. And mikehende, have you seen the...

Ha ha yes good point D'Snowth! And makes me think of "Green Acres" in that there's one line Oliver certainly couldn't have ever said - 'Well I'm glad everything's back to normal around here.'

Well March Madness is upon us! The NCAA tournament starts soon. I was wondering if anyone has any favorite team they're pulling for. In professional sports, I don't root for the local Philadelphia teams, having previously been from Maryland and New York. But I do like the local college teams. So...

Heh heh, perhaps Mr. Smith sold his plane and then retired. Or maybe he learned how to be a pilot. :) There were a lot of really funny things in that skit. I love how when Guy Smiley introduces Bill, he just walks on the stage and says nothing and Guy doesn't say hello or ask him any basic...

And that's how it is here too, redboobergurl, but even better! Right now it is SEVENTY FOUR!! :D Feels so nice! But after being on my feet all day at work and working hard, I'm too pooped too take a delightful walk. But I'll have the weekend for that! Plus, the one drawback is that it is VERY...

And I also agree. Thanks for addressing this, Beau.

That's interesting, Daffyfan. I didn't even think of the water and sewer pipes! And maybe that is indeed what the SS writers meant. My thinking is that it's still probably smoking pipes since the pipes for homes are usually purchased from plumbers when old ones are leaky, or when the house...

Needed a jacket going to work this morning but this afternoon it got very pleasant. 63 degrees now. And supposed to be in the 60's or maybe even cross 70 the next five days. Then it's supposed to do a dramatic free fall back to highs in the 30's for a few days! But glad to be getting some mild...

And a happy belated birthday to you, Furryredmonster. Hope you enjoyed your special day. P.S. Did you kiss your hand for the occasion? :p

Happy belated birthday, Martin! I missed this thread from before. Hope you had a good one.

Philadelphia remains rather chilly but gradually getting warmer each day. 45 degrees for the afternoon high these days, and still getting below freezing overnight. By this Friday we are supposed to have 4 days in a row of highs in the 60's. Looking forward to some good walks. Then it's expected...

Yes thanks very much, Gonzo Leaper. So much fun and great nostalgia seeing the Lefty skit with the number 8 and the Guy Smiley skit with the jet planes and cookies. :) I wonder if the Lefty skit was the first Lefty and Ernie one, because Ernie asks him if he's a salesman. Also, they didn't...

Yeah it was so nice to get to see the Chocolate cake E&B skit again. Also the ones with Cookie Monster trying to take Ernie's pillow and cupcakes. All three of those are real early SS (probably 1970 or 1971). Funny how these monsters just suddenly appear in Ernie and Bert's apartment, eh! Like...

Poor Kermit. Grover tormented him about the same as Ernie tormented Bert! Interesting how Jim Henson and Frank Oz had alternate roles in who was the intelligent muppet and who was the pain in the neck! By the way, approximately what year was that "Kermit teeth" skit? I never saw it during my...

Yeah that's too bad that woobie's are not there now. Hope they come back. She had some good ones. You have some good ones too, qbeam. I especially like "Lefty and the invisible ice cream cone", "A count of ten", "Lefty and the four elephants", and "What's the name of that song?". I see the...
