In the early days of Sesame, popping balloons were common. I felt bad for Ernie when Grover popped his stash. Ernie's imaginary balloon that wakes up Bert and sends a seismic wave throughout the room. Various cartoons (usually including birds using their beaks to pop them). And the biggest...

And the hippie Muppet "Adding Is Putting Together" was their roadie. 8)

It's already been done. A short film from 1956 called "The Red Balloon". Done in French, but precious little dialogue, so there's no need for subtitles. Worth watching. The balloon is very loyal to the boy (named Pascal) waits for him to come home from school, and the balloon brings a little...

Actually, there was a prototype from Season 1, "Silly Song Time". The identifiable members involved Jim- Hippie Grump Frank-Little Jerry There were three other hippie muppets, presumably wiggeld by Carroll Spinney, John Lovelady, and Caroly Wilcox. One looked like Roosevelt Franklin in a...

The only time balloons made me sad: I was five, my family went to this carnival. I had this big green balloon. Mom kept asking to tie it to my wrist so I don't lose it. No, I'm a big boy, I insisted. I won't let go. Went on all the rides, played games, had a hot dog or two, never let go. At the...

I just noticed, at the beginning when Little Jerry sings "Danger", his hair is slicked back (you can see his ears), but once the song starts, it becomes his trademark shaggy mop. Maybe between singing gigs, he had to hold down a straight job to pay the bills. In the mid-70's, the economy wasn't...

Kramer: Let's feed this horse a big can of Beefaroni (who knew horses ate that stuff?), go for a carriage ride around Central Park and see (smell) what happens.

Blenders did nothing to me, but popping balloons would freak me out.

Here's one that digs a little deeper than "Favorite/Least Favorite Twiddlebug": Of the puppets you built, how many were live hand, and how many with rods?

A thousand thanks to the Artist Formerly Known As 1,000 Eyes. This is the most positive thing this board has seen in a while. Quite rightfully so. Carry on, MacDuff, errr. Herman! 8)

Especially not after beans, but might I digress.

This is great so far. I missed out on Moby Dick in high school. We basically had two levels of English Lit. The upper level- we got Shakespeare up the wazoo (loved Merchant of Venice, MacBeth bogged me down). The other kids got To Kill A Mockingbird and Lord of the Flies. As much as I...

Whaling- no more blubbering! Melville was quite the rapier wit. 8)

Schfifty wearing luxuriating hats. Oh, snap!!! This is so pathetically funny, I can't believe it. What's Vanilla Ice gonna do now????!!!!!!! 8)8)8)8)8)

These are hysterical. But if it were actually true, it shows, as a society, the bar for common sense is dangerously low. But if you're dumb enough to eat poison, you're dumb enough to die. Natural selection at work.

Wow. Homies in Compton are shaking in their boots. Where's my safe space? I'm getting' scared! I would love to hear the beats that go with this.

I know Michigan is shaped like a hand. Where on the hand would you be? I ask this, for a year my sister lived up in Petoskey, right where the middle finger would be. How fitting for her. 8)

Actually, I misjudged this Patrick guy. Here I thought he was being selfish, when actually he was being quite generous. He was giving us two faces for the price of one. 8) He pulled off the spectacular feat of being the bully AND the victim at the same time! Let's hear it for him!

Except Stimpy.

Maybe I am a shaman! I'm Sam the Sham and my backing group the Pharoahs. It's "Wooly Bully" Time!
