    Your Favorite Cartoons on Sesame Street

    There's one from the early 70's I know I saw several times but all I can recall is the ending. There was a cartoon guy I think (unless he was an animal of some sort; but I think it was an adult male [and maybe on the heavy-set and older side] ) and he was walking (or hopping) away to the back of...

    Tennis anyone?

    Tennis is another sport I love and just curious if anyone else will be watching The US Open Final this afternoon with the veteran Andre Agassi taking on the awesome Roger Federer. Should be a dandy! Too bad it's on the same time as NFL football. I'll have to flip back and forth between both...

    Ziffel's 1000th and now a senior!

    Since that's one thread I post in pretty much every day (I post in classic SS almost every day too, but not the same thread) I checked out of curiosity how many posts I've made. The total posts I've made in "How's the weather where you are?": 93! Thanks for the additional words and congrats...

    How's the weather where you are?

    We get one more pretty nice sunny day with a high of 82 (75 now) before a few days of hotter weather to deal with come tomorrow (but then the outlook for next Friday and Saturday is highs in the 70's! That's what I've been waiting for woohoo!) For breakfast have just had a breakfast bar and...

    Remembering Sept. 11th

    Back then my work schedule was 2:30-11pm. I would usually come home and unwind an hour or two and then go to bed and get up at 9 or 10 the next morning. I had worked the night before and woke up about 10 on that Tuesday morning. Shortly after, I turned on the televison and saw the news talking...

    Favorite Cookie Monster Sketch

    I remember that one. The song was pretty catchy with good music. I don't know what the title was either. He did say "nobody love cookie as much as me, oh please give cookie to me" several times in the song. There was one lyric where he said, "When I was older I went in to school ...." I used...

    New Electric Company TV Show and DVD

    It seems like Morgan Freeman was concerned he would be only known as "Easy Reader". But the fact that he remained on the show for the entire six year run makes me think he did enjoy being on the show. He did various other characters on the show too, as well as some isolated roles. So that...

    Bert and Ernie and chronic insomnia

    It sure was a priceless expression! I thought about this skit today. After Ernie wakes Bert up and while he is still talking I really love how Bert turns and looks at us. He tilts his head a little and his mouth is closed and the head is moving a little, all in huge frustration. Priceless is the...

    Favorite Animal Films

    Yes it was a nice song to listen to, as were a lot of Joe Raposo's. This one I caught again once around 1990 or so. But like you, Rosewood, there's quite a few SS segments that I find myself saying it's been over 30 years since I've seen. (And also that I would love to see again, of course. :) ).

    How's the weather where you are?

    About ditto once again from yesterday, which is another nice sunny day with low humidity and high of about 82. It's down to 72F, 22C right now and feels great out. Might get to 90 or more Monday-Wednesday. Thought we were finished with the 90's till next year! For dinner I had lasagna. And it...

    New Electric Company TV Show and DVD

    Thought I'd post a few of my fun memories from TEC: ----- Morgan Freeman in a tub. Skip Hannant's voice says,"Hello sir, I see you are in a tub." Morgan says, "No, I am in a tube." "But I can see you are in a tub." "I am in a tube." "Tub." "Tube." Finally, Morgan stands up showing that he has...

    Favorite Animal Films

    And I just thought of a short film that had, I think, one or two macaws. I think there were unseen voices of a man and woman. The woman asks what kind of bird that is. The man says, "It's a macaw, Myrtle." The woman says, "Who's Myrtle?" and then squawks like a bird. That would lead me to think...

    T*K*O-"The Strike"

    Yeah another great job there, TA. I liked how you put incorporated this: D’SNOWTH: No, he just yelled at me. MRSPEPPER: And, what did he say? D’SNOWTH: “May you never see Elizabeth Montgomery’s face again!” And by the way, D'Snowth, I watched an episode of The Twilight Zone last...

    How's the weather where you are?

    Ah ha no wonder why they are saying it will be hotter on Monday and Tuesday in Philly. But then they say it cools back down to the low 80's again so next week should be comfy in Minne too. :) Today was another slighty warm but nice, sunny, and low humidity 82F, 28C. I'll take it, but looking...

    My Social Studies Teacher

    Reminds me of one of the coolest teachers I had: My 8th grade science teacher. He kind of resembled Mr. Rogers in looks and mannerisms. And he told a lot of jokes, mostly puns and corny ones (which was fine with me cuz I love em'!). Like he once began the class with: "Here we have a clock...
