Had fun with a telemarketer today. They used to be more common back in the days of landlines, so this was a rare treat. Most people hate telemarketers, trying to sell you something you don't want or need. Most people just hang up on them. I used to until I developed a game to make them hang up...

Am I the only one who has trouble blowing up balloons? Blowing into them isn't hard, It's tying that knot so the air doesn't escape. No matter how much I stretch the neck out, it takes a number of tries to tie it.

Even with men, once upon a time most men only had one tattoo of a star, an anchor, or MOTHER, but that was it. Then since the 80s they started getting sleeves, murals on their back, etc. Women could look good with something dainty, then they started getting sleeves too. One thing that doesn't...

Big food tip for anybody interested. Instead of putting ketchup on whatever you put ketchup on, try Heinz 57 sauce instead. Even comes in little bottles you can get at the dollar store. Tell them Fuzzy sent ya.

Jess Harnell's hair is as long as mine. If he never did anything but Wakko, he'd still be a superstar to me.

Cigarettes stink, cheap cigars stink when you light them up, but pipes smell nice. 20 years ago cigar smoking was a big trend. It's not just getting some cheap cigar (the good ones are quite expensive), but smelling the leaves, seeing whether it's hand rolled or not buying a humidor so the...

I'm into it if someone gets the ball rolling. Just as long as it's not like years ago. Somebody posted a quiz I'm up for it as long as it's not like years ago. someone posted a quiz "Which Sesame Muppetare you?" But the only possibilities were Ernie, Bert, Big Bird, Cookie, and Elmo. No...

Disney doesn't know when to leave well enough alone. First was 1961's The Parent Trap. Have to remake it so it seems relevant for 90s audiences. 1978's Pete's Dragon was good, with an all-star cast and combining live action with animation. It good enough. We have to remake it into a hi-tech...

I saw Jimmy Buffett tonight. Mr.Caribbean Amphibian . At 72, he still plays over a hundred shows a year selling venues out.My wife and I were decked out for the occasion with grass skirts, flowers in our hair,the tailgate party was as fun as the show.

My grandmother had a big chunk of her neck cut out because of melanoma.

That is true. I'm very happy to meet these people and let them know how much they are appreciated.But there's an invisible line some people cross, make fools of themselves, invade people's space, demand autographs and pictures, and ruin it for everybody else.

It's great meeting Sesame/Muppet people. Frank Oz was always a little different. In the right mood, he can be really cool. But he does have a short temper, and not the most fan-friendly of puppeteers. Because he was so close to Jim, he took Jim's death the hardest.He continued on with Sesame for...

Found a copy of one of my favorite childhood books. "Harvey's Hideout". Written and illustrated by Russell and Lilian Hoban, who also gave us "Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas." It's a tale of sibling rivalry between Mildred andHarvey Muskrat. If any of you are a big sister with a little...

I got to meet Bob McGrath on three occasions. Two lectures, andonce at Sedame Place. He put on a show with a number of singalongs and such. Very nice man. Usually at conventions your time for chit chat iomited because of crowds. Here we had ten minutes to kill. Later I waved to him in the...

Noel is a very cool guy. I remember him for more obscure things like Leon from The Puzzle Place and Knock Knock from The Great Space Coaster. Peter Linz is on my bucket list. Not because of Walter, but Puzzle Place's Skye. I stumbled onto the show one day and 27-year-old me fell in love with...

I don't know what the deal was with Tough Pigs or how they rubbed her the wrong way. But something got under her skin. So I did my best not to act like "those guys". I mentioned somewhere else, when I saw Frank Oz, people just bombarded him from every direction . People pushing and shoving to...

She was very nice, once she didn't see you as a threat. I got a chance to talk with her about some ancient Sesame stuff, and put her at ease. Other people came with a stack of pictures and shoved them in her face. "Sign this! Sign this! Sign this!" Probably sold them on eBay the next day. I got...

The thing the Sesame people I met, seem to appreciatejfans' enthusiasm abut some people act like teenybopper screaming at Justin Bieber. They're still people, and they deserve their space and a modicum of privacy. I'm just as star stuck as anybody else, but they're still real people. Once Fran...

I don't think it's selfish. It might be the only chance you get. Maybe the best thing to do is ask him, "Mr. Spinney, if you don't mind, I'd be honored to take a picture with you and my pal Steve". That would be a little more tactful than just shoving fleece in his face. I've seen that before...
