We are merely players Performers and portrayers Each without an audience Inside the gilded cage... Hmmm, sounds vaguely familiar... I went through a hermit stage too, kept to myself, didn't want to know from anybody. Didn't work too well. You can't form a decent band that way. There are some...

No, and heck no! @LittleJerry92 , isolation is not a healthy thing. Man is a social animal, and cutting yourself off for too long can screw you up. We need social interaction. Not just online, but with physical, tangible people. When I was younger, there was a part of me that hated people...

No, I'm a short distance from Manhattan, though. It's been a while since I've been to the Paley Center (formerly the Museum of Television and Radio), but in the 90s/2000s I used to go in a lot. I think I've seen every Muppet commercial, every early Sesame episode, that they have in their...

I just watched Roger Rabbit the other night. After looking for clues of Marvin Acme's death, somebody dropped a box of toon shoes. The one who got dipped was cuddling up to Judge Doom. Cute little shoe with a spat (very fashionable once upon a time). Doom opens a barrel of dip ( with green fumes...

One of the most famous moments in baseball history, back in the Seventies, a kitten got on the field at the Seattle Kingdome. The kitten managed to elude a number of umpires and goons who tried to pick it up. One goon finally picked him up, and got bit and scratched for his troubles. And the...

Thanksgiving and Christmas are one and the same to me. The older you get, the more you appreciate family. I'm lucky enough to have a big family(lot of eating going on). But Thanksgiving is more than just turkey and football. Christmas is more than just presents.When I realize how much I have...

I got to see Roger Rabbit when it first came out. Actually saw it twice, since in some scenes there's so much going on you see it again to take it all in. Like when Eddie Valiant crashes his car in Toon Town and you see the Seven Dwarves coming out of the subway, etc. There's a lot to take in...

Yes, Thanksgiving seems to be the red-headed stepchild to Halloween and Christmas. But having family is important.Over the past decade, I helped out a few times at a homeless shelter serving dinner. It's a humbling experience serving people who have nothing.some have no home, no family, no...

2020 calendars out already.You wanna save a little money? January 2 they'll all get marked down.Those little stands in the mall will unload them at tremendous discounts. Be patient.

Why do armpits stink?

Halloween 1982. It was a Sunday. Raining buckets, but kids still came. 2012, three days before Halloween, Hurricane Sandy hit. Trees down, power lines down, live electric wires on the ground. No power for twelve days. But kids still came, even in a disaster area. Kids seem endowed with one...

Well, if a blue monster can eat cookies, so can lions. If not Slim Jims, there's also salami, pepperoni, and jerky. None of them are cooked either.

Nothing a little self-control can't fix. You get a lot of candy for Easter, but you don't eat your whole basket in one day.

Last night we had dinner at a friend's house, and they just got a 7 -week-old kitten. A few black and brown spots On her back, white belly and paws. Named Rosie. I was the first new one to hold her. Instant purrs. Tiny little "Mew!" Practically spent the whole night on my lap. She climbed on...

Been there done that got the T-shirt.

Am I the only one, as a child, hated balloons popping? Once when I was a baby my sister popped a balloon in my ear and freaked me out. Birthday parties would make me a nervous wreck with all the balloons, and somewhere at least one will pop, and sounds like a gunshot. So I'd spend most of the...

I was a little disappointed a few years back with the Muppet video for "The Weight". On the upside, everybody got an appearance. On the downside, everybody got an appearance because they carved the song up to squeeze everybody in. Two seconds of screen time- you blink, you miss Beaker. "Bohemian...

Okay, I stand corrected.

There aren't too many songs associated with Halloween (as opposed to Christmas), apart from "Monster Mash". But I highly recommend The Who's "Boris the Spider".One of the coolest bass lines ever, and for a song recorded in 1966, the bass is unusually loud. The Who were recording their second...

They're okay at best. 20 years ago the first Krispy Kreme opened in New Jersey. There were headlines screaming Krispy Kreme was going to put Dunkin Donuts out of business. Didn't exactly work out that way.
