    Happy Birthday, Xerus!

    Glad you had a good time today, Xerus. And mmmm @ fish'n'chips! Also nice you got The Muppet Show season one as a gift. You'll enjoy going through those. The muppet morsel feature is pretty fun too. :)

    T*K*O-"The Unkillable Thread"

    I rewatched it again a little bit ago. So very funny and enjoyable! (despite Beau foiling my evil coalition! haha)

    This week on an all-new T*K*O................

    In the meantime I think I'll re-watch last week's hilarious "the unkillable thread" episode. Oh man I laughed so hard!

    Happy Birthday to you! And I saw on the recent MC awards we had that you got a vote for best avatar. That was nice to see, as I have always enjoyed your avatar of The Swedish Chef when I've read your posts. :)

    Last movie you watched

    Glad you really liked "Misery" also, Dee. :) "My ceramic penguin always faces due south." Very chilling yet delicious line there. And yeah the hobbling operation of the Kimberly Diamond mines. :eek: Such a great movie. And big credit to Stephen King too, of course, for writing the book...

    How's the weather where you are?

    Well as I just alluded to in another thread, the weather is sure beautiful so far. 74F, 23C right now, bright sunshine, low humidity, and a breathtaking light breeze. This afternoon will reach 82F, 28C so will be slightly warm but still very good. I'll take it! :D Oh and so far just have...

    Happy Birthday, Xerus!

    Happy Birthday Xerus! Nice that it falls on Labor Day for you this year (I'm sure it's happened before in your lifetime too. :) ). Always enjoy reading your posts. Especially when you help me recall something from a classic SS skit! Have a wonderful day. Hope the weather in Virginia is as...

    A couple more alphabet segments

    Oh good, glad you've seen it. Whenever it had been a while since this one came on I kind of braced myself for that sudden opening. But one time I was sitting in front of the tv with a bottle of soap bubbles on a tray in front of me. I was blowing bubbles while watching SS. Just having a great...

    This thread is brought to you by the letter U!

    I was looking at the Washington Post archives for Sesame Street. They only show a few sentences of an old article. To get the whole article it costs $3.95. But I was just scanning some for fun and reading the few free sentences for each one. Here's one from February 1970 that said President...

    Alright then. Some people call it an obsession. I call it a fixation. M-Hmm. ;)

    What's your favorite letter segment?

    Not sure if this one has ever been brought up. There was an animated one with a man and a gorilla. The gorilla was mentioning a lot of words that begin with the letter g ( I think he was writing them down as he said them, and perhaps on a chalkboard). Girl and gum were two of the words he...

    A couple more alphabet segments

    Hey Mike, take a look back at the sketch I mentioned at post #14. I'd really be curious to see if this one rings a bell with you and any thoughts you have of it. Thanks. :)

    Last movie you watched

    Glad you liked "Dominick and Eugene", Janice. One of the best dramas I've ever seen. It is indeed heartwarming and extremely well acted by all three. How about that scene with Tom Hulce where he was on the job collecting the garbage and the camera zooms in on his face for a long time as he is...

    Last movie you watched

    Not long ago I rewatched my favorite Rob Reiner movie, "Stand By Me", and rewatched a great suspense thriller with Ray Liotta. "Unlawful Entry". Well last night I rewatched my other favorite Reiner movie which is also a great suspense thriller - "Misery". Outstanding film! Loved every scene...

    Sesame Street films

    I liked this one a lot. It starts out with pretty instrumental music and whistling doing the "Rock-a-bye Baby" song. And then the voice part. I'm not sure if that was Joe Raposo or not. The voice was a little different in this one, but that could be because he was singing it rather gently...

    Sesame Street films

    I'm not sure if there is a g one like that with those short balloon frame segments or not. One I can think of that had the double meaning of g, however, was the one where Jack planted a letter b and then a beanstalk grew and he climbed it. When he got to the top he was in the land of B. He said...

All with...

    Some Gordon#2 info from those of you who knew him

    One street scene from about 1973 I remember had Grover hanging from a railing and shouting, "Help!" and Gordon emerged from his apartment and promptly rescued him. In the thread about "Your favorite Sesame Street human" I selected Gordon and pointed out how he was kind of like a father figure...
