This is ancient history, but once upon a time, several presidents ago, when CN was the Scooby Channel. More Scoob than you could tolerate. Then Boomerang came along, temporarily providing a haven for theatrical shorts, obscure Hanna Barbers gems, even rarities like shorts from the National Film...

Happy birthday, and thanks for keeping the door to this place open.

My boss is married, so would that make his wife my boss-in-law?

I was lucky enough to meet David Newell (Mr. McFeeley). Very nice guy. One guy who used to be a stagehand on the show (mostly in charge of cueing up the films for Picture Picture) was Michael Keaton. Batman Himself. Mr. Rogers had everything going for it. Fred's gentle delivery, deliberately...

Same with the 70's version of The Electric Company. It would be nice if some things were left to stand on their own merits. Like the 70's version of "Land of the Lost". Without the 90's version or the movie to make it seem relevant for contemporary viewers. Kinda like a history lesson. This is...

Not actually songs, but the Beatles sent out Christmas messages to members of their British fan club every year from 1963 to 1969. 1963-64 messages, the group are giddy with their newfound fame, thanking fans for buying their records and coming to their gigs. 1965- still thanking fans, but...

And the residents of Whoville were so proud of their patron saints Pete Townshend, John Entwistle, Roger Daltrey, and Keith Moon.

Regular milk when I was little? Only if you had a gun pointed at my head. Put a little on my cereal, but I wouldn't drink a whole glass... ...unless it was CHOCOLATE, then I'm all in! 8) I was the king of Nestle Quik, Hershey Syrup, Bosco, Yoo-Hoo, and Carnation chocolate malt. Good stuff!! I...

Propel was a godsend for me back in '09. One time my diabetes had me seriously dehydrated (enough to spend five days in the hospital) and they made a sugar free version. Electrolytes, no sugar, and not too much sodium, helped me out so much. Thank you Gatorade. If I ever become the coach of a...

Back in my school years, if you can dial back as far as from 1974 to 1986, there was no diagnosis for depression or learning disorders, let alone cures for them. You were pretty much left to keep up, or fall behind. I managed to squeeze through. Barely. Passed everything, except sucked at math...

That's not a good place to be. And I've seen it with a few others on here at various times. Even with Trump being president, you can't scale back your agenda from low expectations to no expectations. Some had the attitude everything in their lives was just fine until Trump got elected. Nobody...

If he could bang the piano keys and sing "What I'd Say", we might have room for him in our band.

There's this wonderful phenomenon/urban legend on YouTube called "The Dark Side of the Rainbow". If you never saw it, Pink Floyd's 1973 masterpiece " The Dark Side of the Moon" synchs up nearly perfectly to The Wizard of Oz. Especially the tornado scene where Dorothy's house flies off the...

Same thing in the Sesame Street in Hawaii episodes. Mr. Hooper goes surfing, and he goes into the ocean looking like he's wearing a fur coat. No, that's his bare back! Aiiiiiiieeeeeee!!!!!!

Same here, the grey started at 19 for me, too. But it's still on my head, hasn't fallen out yet. Actually, you want to know when to worry about hair? When it starts growing out of your ears!

Nah, I knew about red velvet cake since I was little (tiramisu isn't new, either). But cake made with beet juice...eugh! Carrot cake is okay, but I draw the line with beets. Why? Beets me.8)

You know those sprinkles you put on ice cream? In some parts of the country, they're called jimmies. Jimmy was my grandfather's name, so when I was little, Carvel ice cream reminded me of him. That's something else a lot of you missed out on. They make Carvel ice cream cakes you can buy in...

Smiles beat frowns any day. But fake smiles are just as bad as fake pouty faces. Still, did you know it's easier to smile than to frown? Frowning uses more face muscles, so people with perpetual frowns wore their faces out. Y'see? I didn't always smile for high school pictures either, but from...

Man, 25 and over the hill! Get ready to spend the rest of your golden years with shuffleboard, bingo, Epsom salts, bunion pads and colostomy bags. Ain't we got fun!8) Seriously, have an awesome day, young buck!

Sorry, man. Cirrhosis sucks. I've known one other person who's liver went, and it is a painful way to die. The dilemma comes when we don't want our friends to die, but we don't want them to suffer anymore, either.
