    What's your favorite baseball team?

    Heeheehee you would probably like the sentiment one guy has, Docnzhoss. He says he's a fan of whoever plays the Yankees. So when the Yankees play the WhiteSox he's a Sox fan, when they play the Twins he's a Twins fan, etc. And I thought about you when the Royals had their 19 game losing streak...

    MuppetFest 2?

    Pretty interesting thought. I think we might do a combination of both. I know for myself, I could see me finding it neat to refer to everyone by their MC names here and would probably do so at times deliberately ("Pass the salt, Bear!" "How's your steak, Redboobergurl?"). But I can see part of...

    I wish things would get easier

    Good points everyone. I can attest to the same thing regarding my Uncle Jack's untimely death in 1995 at 49. I still grieve the loss of this great man but I also still enjoy thinking about and talking about the numerous memories I have of him making me laugh, imparting wisdom, and showing me...

    How's the weather where you are?

    Oh that's sooooo great to hear that you were out of state and are okay. That is such great news. And I'm sure you do have a lot of tough decisions coming up. Such a sad thing how much devastation and destruction this storm has caused. I attended a prayer vigil they had at work today for those...

    What's your favorite baseball team?

    Analyzing the current likely World Series teams Let's go Mets! Heh heh, I'm not a Met fan. I'm a fan of the other New York team, the Yankees. But I'd love to see another subway series. I think the Mets have the talent to get in the playoffs. But those St. Louis Cardinals look like the most...

    characters who recited the alphabet

    Oh for sure! Just taking the alphabet segments alone really shows the brilliance of Sesame Street. Like in this one we just discussed it was great how they had the characters gasping and delighting with awe at various parts of the alphabet recitations (as if they were hearing some really juicy...

    characters who recited the alphabet

    Herry also recited the alphabet. This was an early 70's skit (not sure if season 4, though) where he asks if Grover can keep a secret. Then he tells Grover the secret, which is just the alphabet. Then Grover tells the alphabet to an anything muppet and that muppet tells another anything muppet...

    "A tribute to Sherlock"

    The Sherlock Hemlock one that usually comes to mind first for me is the one at the beach with Ernie and Bert. It's pretty funny. Ernie is playing in the sand and without realizing it buried Bert up to his mouth. So Bert can only make muttering and grumbling sounds. Plus, he has his hat on over...

    Your Favorite Cartoons on Sesame Street

    One came to mind today where a boy repeatedly says, "Imagination". I think there was the sound of his footsteps for about five seconds between each time he said that word. Can't recall what he walked to but I IMAGINE it was things he was imagining were there. :p Interesting how many times a...

    How's the weather where you are?

    I know at least one of our members, GeeBee, is from New Orleans. Been thinking about him the last few days and hoping he is okay. The weather here was muggy and warm today (85F, 29C) but barely any rain (a few days ago they were forecasting tons of rain for today, but the track of the storm...

    Movie Conversations

    "Uh, I think I am familiar with the fact that you are going to ignore this particular problem until it swims up and bites you on the rump!" (Jaws) Note: Instead of rump, another word that begins with the letter a was actually used.

    I had a filling today I wasn't prepared for!

    LOL, my kind of joke! No one can say that joke BLOWS. You certainly were not all WET with that one! In fact, that joke RAINS (REIGNS)!

    How's the weather where you are?

    Well that's good it won't go through your area, TA. I'm afraid it looks like my family in Toronto will get a direct hit, though. But again, I would think by then the winds and rain will subside a significant degree at least. *crosses fingers* (not really. can't type that way! )

    Happy Birthday KermiClown!

    Happy Birthday to you, KermiClown. And you still have 3 more years to enjoy your youthful 30's. (Just a year and a half for me. But the 30's are still here at least!) :)

    How's the weather where you are?

    Pretty far east. I was looking at a weather site that had a track of the hurricane. Here it is This probably goes through or near Nova Scotia where TA is right? Not sure what part of Canada you're from, Mrs. Pepper. But in any case, by Thursday or Friday the storm should be much less intense...

    Rough Times Ahead

    Thank you for that, Docnzhoss. And amen to that. The other day my great aunt was slightly more coherent. Overall she keeps declining but we're thankful for the times when she does have more up moments. Many blessings to your grandmother and brother-in-law. I'm praying and pulling for them.

    How's the weather where you are?

    Was another warm and muggy day (about 85 for a high). Mostly cloudy and just now it's starting to rain. They're calling for a lot of rain tonight and all day Wednesday from Katrina. The good news is that the hurricane is going to track through Ohio and western PA. (Well, not good news for the...
