    None Like it Hot: The "I Hate the Heat" Club

    See, unlike most people, I actually dress for the weather: here I've been wearing my Hawaiian shirts, because I'm not a man built for going shirtless, unfortunately. I'd argue even 60 isn't quite cool enough for long sleeves . . . long pants, sure, but since it's in the 90s, I'm not going there...

    None Like it Hot: The "I Hate the Heat" Club

    So not only has this ungodly unseasonable heatwave roared its ugly head towards us again, but it's going to be even worse this time: temps are expected to soar into the mid-and-upper 90s, and it's expected to last a week and a half this time, and if it does, then September 2019 will officially...

    What is your favorite Sid and Marty Krofft shows?

    One thing that amuses me so much about THE BUGALOOS is one of the things that so many people like about this show is . . . Joy's legs, lol! Ehh, can't blame 'em! But when it comes to THE BUGALOOS, it's just such a shame that film was one of the first casualties of the Kroffts' budget cuts; just...

    The new What Made You Smile Today thread

    John R. Dilworth refered to me as a "colleage" for following the production process of his new animated short, and offering comments and input on it; matter of fact, anybody who's been doing this he says are his colleagues, so this is really cool how he's really involving us fans in the process.

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    I had no idea Big Bird had any other family members aside from Granny Bird (or his international cousins).

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    It is, Caroll has said this before: he tried it out on Jon Stone first, Jon thought it was funny, and had Caroll go ahead and do it for real.

    The breakfast cereal thread

    I just bought a box of Honey Smacks for the first time since their recall last year, and noticed the box states they're "now made with even more honey taste." That's all well and good, but it's done absolutely nothing for the texture of the cereal: it's all chewy now, like it's packaged stale or...

    Where are all these classic Sesame Street episodes coming from?

    They can actually teach you that in school?

    Caroll Spinney: The Farewell Tour

    I'm pretty sure it's related to the dystonia that he was diagnosed with in recent years: I think limitation of your motor vascular skills is a symptom, as his wife Debbie pushes him in a wheelchair quite a bit these days; even when I shook his hand a couple of years ago, his handshake was very...

    Caroll Spinney: The Farewell Tour

    Nope. Matter of fact, one of my favorite quotes of his is: "Your left hand is stupid when you're right-handed." I know what he means! It took me years to get my left hand even remotely to attempt to do decent puppetry lip-syncing . . . on the other hand (no pun intended), I'm so used to working...

    None Like it Hot: The "I Hate the Heat" Club

    Well, we've got a three day break from the heat right now. . . . Even though shouldn't need to have a break from the heat, because the heat should just be over and done with by now! Besides, I've already lost the majority of my favorite week of the year anyway.

    Caroll Spinney: The Farewell Tour

    That's true, but they are rather pricey, though . . . I might sit in on the Q&A panel, though, if they have it Saturday (which is the day my ticket is for). I do also continue to check periodically to see if any other people of interest will be added to the guest list - that's how I ended up...

    Caroll Spinney: The Farewell Tour

    Unfortunately, no, tickets are non-refundable, and that's what I'm more upset about - it wouldn't be such a big deal, except that with the recession and all, that was $28 that could have gone to something more important at the time, like gas or food or such. But, again, Noel MacNeal is also...

    Caroll Spinney: The Farewell Tour

    As I understand it, he's already lost complete use of his left arm. :(

    Caroll Spinney: The Farewell Tour

    True, and at least I got the chance to meet to Caroll once before, so at least I was able to have the opportunity and not pass it up before.

    Caroll Spinney: The Farewell Tour

    Well, Caroll has canceled his appearance this October . . . in fact, he's canceled all future con appearances for the rest of the year - it's become too much of a burden for he and Debbie to keep traveling across the country. Really disappointed (especially since I already purchased a ticket)...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    Remember a while back when I mentioned it seems like Dakota Fanning hasn't done anything in a really long time? Well, she's coming under fire now for an upcoming movie she's in, in which she plays a white girl who is abandoned in Ethopia and being raised by Muslims; this is supposedly based on a...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    There's something very, very unsettling about these early Muppet monsters. I think that one on the far left is Steve D'Monster's long-long, evil, Satanic half-brother, Stove DeMon Ster.
