    Yeah, I think you linked me to it a while back. I downloaded a few clips, mostly from the episode where Valdy guest starred, as that was my entire family's all time favorite.

    Your Thoughts: TMS Season 1 DVD

    Exactly. If you don't like the cuts, buy the set and watch everything else. Then take DW's suggestion, and loudly complain to Disney. Now, that's just silly. Sorry, but that really doesn't make any sense to me. Why remove the sound from a song? Isn't that generally the main part of a song...

    OMG, the Friendly Giant, my mother talks about him all the time! I used to watch him every once in a while myself, he had a great show. Dressup was also a staple of my childhood, as was Today's Special. I would kill to get that show on DVD. *sigh* How I'd love to be back about ten years ago...

    Well, have fun at camp, Lisa. See you when you get back! :)

    Hey, shut up! Clifford's not all that bad, it's just that... well, you know the story. ;) I like your tale about Rogers, Ziffel. I used to watch him a lot myself.

    If you still believe in Santa Claus, look away. Alright, they not looking? My grandfather used to answer a lot of Santa letters, as I understand it. My father works at Canada Post, so he got him in on it. OK, fellas, you can look back now. Personally, I've always wanted to mail Brian...

    Remember this commerical?

    Being born when I was, I honestly have never seen any of these commercials. However, I've heard about them from my parents, my grandparents, Dave Barry (my patron saint), and now you guys. How about: "Mr. Clean, Mr. Clean gets rid of dirt and grease and grime in just a minute!" (Always...

    Oh my God, why didn't I tell you about Mr. LaRocque? He's also in his 60s, he's our French teacher, and he's insane. He often tells us VERY humorous stories, usually which involve him beating some guy up. Probably his funniest was the time he was in Nice, France; he had missed the college...

    Your Thoughts: TMS Season 1 DVD

    Well, I'd disagree with that, but it's a bit of a fallacy in that musical numbers are not missing from every episode, but matting would significantly alter all 24 episodes.

    Around 6.44 kilometers. I tend to stick to American measurements, as I find them easier to deal with than Metric stuff. Yikes. The only time I've ever snowshoed was after White Juan (you've heard the story, I suppose), using a fifty year old pair of snowshoes that hadn't been touched in as...

    I think something like Pirates of the Caribbean would be better. You could take a ride on a waterfall through the hole in Doc's workshop, ride through the Fraggles' world, zip down Gobo's route, through the Gorgs' house, past the Trash Heap (and her little henchmen, eeh!), and then back up...

    Oh no, this guy isn't crotchety. In fact, the best description I can come up with is that he acts like a Muppet. Specifically, he acts like a Richard Hunt Muppet. Or maybe he just acts like Richard himself. I've seen him hit guys in my class square in the face with tissue boxes, jump up in the...

    Feedback on my puppets

    Wow, they look great! I especially like the green guy in the top left corner. A suggestion for your new sculpt: It looks like a Guy Smiley sculpt with some minor alterations would do the job there. :)

    Jerk. In my school, the teachers wouldn't do anything like that, they'd just calmly ask you to spit it out. There is one exception, our history teacher. His name's John Stone, he's in his early 60s, and he is the funniest guy you'd ever want to deal with. If I know him well enough, he'd probably...

    Your Thoughts: TMS Season 1 DVD

    This is where a straw-man argument may come into play. A straw-man, for those of you who don't know, involves stating a weakened version of an argument and attacking it, as you might do with a scarecrow. As MrsPepper said, Disney never promised that the episodes would be uncut. I'll give you a...

    The Fabulous Miss Piggy Show

    I can only tell you two things about it: Frank Oz made his directorial debut with that special, and Terry Angus performed Fozzie (go here and scroll down a bit if you don't believe me). :)

    Yep, it's still there, right next to my personal least favorite Disney World ride, Splash Mountain. Heights and speed might be good for Gonzo, but with me... :boo:

    Remember this commerical?

    Die, Whipple! Die! In another classic Dave Barry moment, his "world's worst commercial" poll indicated that the most-hated television commercials were the ones for Charmin, Snuggle and Shake'n'Bake (I think), and the most hated radio commercials were the ones in which the announcer- and I...
