Hey GeeBee, I see you're in New Orleans and I was watching the local news at noon here today and they mentioned New Orleans could get really slammed big time (like 6-7 inches of rain this afternoon!) from hurricane Cindy today and tomorrow. Hope Cindy passes you by without too much damage...

About 85 now and more muggy today. Thunderstorms could occur from this afternoon through tomorrow. Got my lawn mowed and other yard work done while it was in the upper 70's this morning so it was pretty good (with the exception of watering my plants. Looks like God will water them for me later...

Yes it would be nice to hear what they are doing these days. Is the girl Tracy you mentioned that was in the 2 skits with Kermit the girl who kept saying "Cookie Monster" during the abc's and laughing so adorably? And/Or was she the one that kept hugging Kermit by squeezing his neck real hard...

And the skit from about 1970 where Ernie takes a picture of The Cookie Monster taking cupcakes had a very outdated camera. And of course the presence of something outdated is hardly a reason to not show the segment anymore, especially since these classic segments are so brilliant. But now it's...

Well here's a little different twist. I post a thread about "Laurel and Hardy" three days ago and now I am reading one of my online daily devotionals I like to read (The "Today" devotional) and the comic duo is mentioned in the first sentence. :) Here's today's Today in its entirety for...

Some states in the southwest USA like good ol' Nevada and Arizona often have very low humidity, so out of curiosity I just checked a weather site for Las Vegas and Phoenix. Phoenix currently has just 8 percent humidity and Vegas has five! Oh would that be a dream to live in a humidity climate...

I was trying to search for one that had anything muppets and a lady muppet did the song. I remember she counted six muppets while singing, "You can count them up ... one, two, three, four , five , six." And it makes a cool sound effect as she points to each muppet, but I can't describe it in...

This classic E&B skit is also kind of like the one where Bert is writing a letter (to Mr. Rogers, which is pretty neat) and Ernie keeps turning the fan on higher speeds until it blows his letter and other papers all around. Instead of broiling hot, Bert here exclaims, "I am very hot and...

Very similar here RedBoobergurl, A little warmer than yesterday (84) and a little bit more humid. By next weekend the temps creep back up to 90 and the humidity is back up (Phooey!). But while I'll certainly take low 80's for July, the 70's are my ideal high temp days. Ahhhhhh. 84 is still hot...

About a couple of years ago or so, I heard a list of actual names along those lines. Forgot a lot of 'em but two that stick out are Ilene Dover and Justin Case. And it always seemed a little on the cruel side to me when I would hear of parents giving their kids the same first and last name...

Well at least it gives us yet another glimmer of hope in seeing some classic SS, a Noggin classic channel in 2006 with the new PBS channel in September 2005. And the good news, according to a recent tv guide, of epsiodes of the 70's "Electric Company" to be released on dvd. Slowly but surely...

Don't recall Margaret Hamilton on Sesame Street. And although I heavily watched Mr. Rogers around 1974 and 1975, I don't recall her appearance on his show either. But that's really cool she did that. I'd enjoy seeing that particular episode. A few years ago I was taping some episodes of Mr...

Yeah it is a real shame to see that happen to small market teams. The other Pennsylvania team here, the Pittsburgh Pirates, are a glaring case in point. The first 3 years of the 90's they had built an awesome team and won three division titles in a row with 95 wins or more. But they couldn't...

Yeah the apartment did look a little different and I think Ernie was watching tv at almost the very right end of the screen. So the skit is probably indeed from 1969 or 1970 at the latest. And if Ernie was watching a western that's pretty funny how often tv shows back in the 60's always seemed...

What happened in the ladybug/alligator (or lizards) one? I'm wondering if it's an animated segment where I recall this guy saying,"One from five is four, one from four is three...one from two is one." And then something like a lizard turns to (a ladybug?) and opens its mouth to eat it, but it...

Yeah times have been hard for the Royals for a long time now but at least they had a great decade between 1975 and 1985 (Hey that's the same time span of "The Jeffersons"!). A lot of good players back then, like Frank White and Amos Otis, but George Brett clearly the greatest and one of the...

I remember catching a couple of SS shows a few years ago that did that. In the 70's when "The Electric Company" was showing, I think it was quite a long period of time where at the end of the show they would show a clip preview of the next show (And I think it was always worded like, "Join us...

Haha well at least in 1993 Toronto beat Philly in the World Series. And in hockey the Maple Leafs are pretty good but just can't win the Cup (well, of course NO ONE can now with this lockout lasting forever). I actually never followed hockey much. But I have some family in Toronto who love the...

Nothing wrong with that Katzi. :) And it's a further neat coincidence because that guy I mentioned who loved bowling bowled for the special olympics. One time he bowled a 300 and got his picture in the local paper and at work we threw him a surprise party to celebrate. Someone got him his...

Remember a couple of s animated sketches that both might have had sleighs? One that definitely did had Santa Claus suddenly appear on the screen going by in his sleigh and saying, "Ho ho ho ho!" He did something to the guy that was talking about s words like knock him over into the snow or...
