    How's the weather where you are?

    Weather was great here today. High of 21, sunny all day long. A few clouds in the sky, but not enough to bother me. Breakfast was a grilled cheese (with Colby for something different), with iced tea (of course) and a banana. (From now on, I will refer to a breakfast of a grilled-cheese and...

    Let's give Elmo a break

    Not so much a demon, no. He just hates Muppet fans.\ To Drtooth, I must disagree with you. Many kids between the ages of three and, well, eighteen absolutely love "Scooby-Doo." (I did, and still do.) The stars of that show are ALL adults. And if you can show me ten kids whose favorite...

    Non-Muppet MP3 Trade Page

    I forgot to say that I have quite a few soundtracks (mostly score) as well as some Wendy Carlos, really obscure artists from around the world, and a couple of Thomas Dolby albums. Vic, expect those Al WMAs tomorrow night. PM'd you something, hope you got it.

    How's the weather where you are?

    Oh, MONTGOMERY? That's OK, everyone else in my family makes fun of me for that too. Actually, it's not as bad an addiction as it is in my uncle Ron, who has iced tea at all three meals!

    Classic SNL FINALLY comes to DVD

    Candygram! OH, BOY! That has got to be my all-time favorite SNL sequence. An extremely close second is the Eddie/Joe Piscopo bit with Sinatra and Stevie Wonder- "You are black/And I am white/Life's an Eskimo Pie, let's take a bite!" Joe is a way underrated performer. And I just can't wait for...

    Let's give Elmo a break

    Personally, I find that Elmo's World is not educational. Convincing John said it best: Giving a kid a song consisting of one word set to the tune of Jingle Bells is not educational. Showing a kid Michael Jeter act like a silent film star is not educational. Showing a kid bad animation that...

    How's the weather where you are?

    Have you noticed how we all have our breakfast trends on this board? D'Snowth usually has a sugar cereal and always has milk; I usually have a grilled cheese sandwich and always have iced tea (haven't had anything else now with my breakfast for two years); MuppetsRule usually has muffins; Lisa...

    Micheal Jackson Not Guilty

    It's not so much that we stand blindly by him, but that we examine the facts and form our own opinions. Some, but not all, Jackson detractors (hereafter referred to as "JDs") see this opinion as one sided. My father does, but he only does that because I like "Billie Jean." I do believe that he...

    My Theory On Elmo

    Well, he wasn't. Telly premiered in 1979, when he was performed by Brian Muehl. Marty Robinson took his role in 1984. Still, that's the "early days" for me- before Elmo became such a bloody daunting presence!

    How's the weather where you are?

    TO-day: Started out sunny and fairly warm outside, but it became overcast and coolish around noontime. Breakfast: Homemade toast with Cheez Whiz, iced tea Lunch: Slice of pizza, couple of garlic fingers Supper: Rigatoni with cheese sauce, Diet Coke (reportedly Brian Wilson's favorite...

    Classic SNL FINALLY comes to DVD

    *knock knock* Who is it? *Um... postman* Hey, you're not that pesky LAND SHARK, are you? Yay! I've seen tapes of the old SNL shows, and I'm really looking forward to seeing the "nev-er mind" lady (my entire family uses that line!), as well as (yes, I'm prospective) the landshark...

    The "Thread Killers Organisation", or "TKO"

    Pep: Switch the thread-killer roles of myself and Vic, so that he becomes CTK and I'm VTK. Hokay? :rolleyes: Can't wait for the first episode, Snowth!

    Muppets Big Brother

    Oh my! Now, this is what happens when you do not hold good American values. (puts hand to chest) America. Land of decent decency, and don't you forget it!

    Fave user?

    YAY! My website is back up!

    I love those two as well. My favorites would have to be the aforementioned Drinking Song, Let's Make a Date and the very excellent Scenes from a Hat. And I don't care what you American loons say, Colin Mochrie ROCKS!!!!!

    J-Lo, yes or no?

    I'd like to be in a bit with Sam. I'd pay up "one millyun dollarz" (a quote from a Bloom County comic) just to do that for two minutes.

    Steppin' Out Scooter Custom

    Yikes. I've never used Sculpey before (and for that matter, I'd never heard of it until now) and so I imagined it was just regular ol' clay with some crazy American name on it! My bad, it looks awesome.

    My Theory On Elmo

    I agree with you 100%, but still... Telly's believability goes back to the beginning of SS. Why? All the characters then (save Big Bird, and I never found him believable as a character either) were adults. Grover was a working stiff; Cookie, well, he seems like a man in his 40s; Ernie and...

    J-Lo, yes or no?

    Fair enough. But isn't it cool to dream up lists of prospective guest stars?

    YAY! My website is back up!

    Looks great, man! I too am a huge Whose Line fan, and inasmuch as we don't get it in Canada anymore (I actually make special trips to Maine just to watch it!) your site is a reminder of what I used to like so much. Much better than my piddly little blog will ever be! :)
