    Peanut butter

    Peter Pan creamy (or whipped/ honey roasted) with Nutella. 8) Grew up with Jif and Skippy, but I avoided chunky like the plague. Great thing about peanut butter, don't even need bread. Gimme a spoon and I'm a happy camper.

    Same animation style as "It's The Plumber!" R. Crumb and friends cranked out another gem. Two characters are driving in a car. One keeps hearing a bird chirping, the other denies it. In the end, the first guy agrees, "Okay, no bird". The camera pans back to show a huge bird perched on the roof...

    Too bad probably none of you have any childhood memories of drinking from a garden hose. We kids from the 70s did it all the time and- miracle of miracles- WE LIVED!!!!

    It's neat how Morgan played both sides of the law. He was a model cop, but equally at home being a hustler, crook, or shady wise guy. Once he offers Jim Boyd a free box of chalk, but Jim is having his own problems crossing the street, as the "Walk/Don't Walk" sign keeps changing on him. He...

    The New What Made You Frown Today Thread

    It's one thing to be nervous. I've been driving over 30 years and sometimes it gets hard, especially at night. But I can't let fear dictate whether I drive or not because people depend on me. My wife is legally blind, so she can't drive. So I have to. You owe it to yourself to try. Maybe you'll...

    Learning to drive is a skill you're going to have to master someday. Your parents aren't going to be around forever to drive you. You're inconveniencing your mom to leave work and cheauffer you around... to satisfy your fears. Yes, you have to take a written test before the road test. The trick...

    Once Rita was hiking through the woods, and wanted to scrape the mud off her boots (with 3 inch heels). After bumping against a tree stump, a voice yells, "Hey!!! What's going on out there???!!!" In the hollow of the stump, Morgan Freeman emerges as a tiny squirrel (Ain't chroma-key great?) Both...

    There was also a chorus in there that went, "Just forget it! Just forget it!" It was a scream seeing Bayn stuck in the pup tent. Typical 70s color- Day-Glo Orange! This is partially why Levi's best selling jeans are the 501's with the button fly. 8)

    Six months after my fall, I'm finally cleared to go back to work Monday. What a journey from not being able to move, to a wheelchair, to a walker, to a cane, to my own two feet again. God's healing hand on me the whole time. I urge everybody, NEVER take for granted something as simple as...

    I'm amazed they would show a Disney movie at Universal. Usually the studios are very possessive about their properties and won't give one another an inch.

    Blubber!!!! A group of Eskimo kids are playing baseball at the North Pole. Morgan Freeman is the blubber man (in warmer climates it's the ice cream man) pushing his cart on a sled. Luis is a kid (bald kid with a mustache) begging his mom for money. Judy is his mom: "You don't need blubber! Now...

    Another mainstay of the series (including a couple live remakes): One cartoon guy would stick a message on the wall with a warning: "Here's another message, pal. Read it and heed it!" The main character would read it several times, sometimes mispronouncing the word or not comprehending the...

    Denise Nickerson also got to sing a song on her own. All about a "loose tooth" and all the foods she can't eat. The one line that killed me was "I got a loose tooth and I can't eat pizza!" If you told 5-year-old me I couldn't have pizza, you would've seen the mother of all meltdowns.

    It is fun having whipped cream like that, especially that little nitrous rush when you get to the bottom. Doesn't work that well with Cool Whip. 8)

    I remember when Skip snickered "Another sucker!" I repeated that with a word that rhymes with "sucker", and my older sister smacked me so hard I might've lost a tooth. 8)

    My next favorite was Old Mother Hubbard (With Judy as Hubbard and Morgan Freeman in a dog costume). Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard To get her poor dog a bone. But when she got there the cupboard was bare... And so she ordered a pizza! Morgan (with thick Italian accent and...

    I didn't have much choice. Most of my clothes were my brother's hand-me-downs. Plaid pants. I hated them with a passion. That's why I enjoyed playing outside in the mud and getting them dirty. Unlike cotton, polyester is made from petroleum. Oil. It doesn't breathe, it was itchy. But that was...

    Ah, the 70's. The one thing I hated about growing up then were the clothes. Some were okay, most were ugly! And everything was made out of polyester. Very uncomfortable in the summer. Made you sweat like a pig.
