@DramaQueenMokey and @mo rackle I'm proud of both of you. At every stage in life, there will be some measure of stress. It doesn't end with graduation. But it's how you deal with it that will determine things for you. Cooking is therapeutic for me too. I'm sure whatever you create, your...

Danish Go-Rounds. Marketed by Kellogg's in the early 70's, they were like Pop Tarts on steroids. 40 years after they were taken off the shelves, I still remember how good the cherry flavor was. Probably got pulled, their biggest problem (like Pop Tarts sometimes) was getting stuck in toasters...

They were close with the Madonna-like metal bra.

It seems hard to have a big breakfast ( my ultimate: corned beef hash and eggs, home fries, and toast. New Jersey is the Diner Capital of the universe) and squeeze cereal in there too. But a small bowl the Night before can work. Milk and juice don't always play nice with my stomach either. I've...

I might be the one dissenting voice that didn't like "Full House". I was in college when it aired, and the few times I did catch it, it seemed so sticky sweet my diabetes went through the roof. While I can admire the family themes (same with " Diff'rent Strokes"), the working class grit of...

Growing up in the 70's the mascot was an elephant named Tusk, but he wasn't as popular as Snap, Crackle and Pop. Before that, when Kellogg's was Hanna-Barbera's big sponsor, Snagglepuss was the pitchman. Also lost in Mascot Limbo, we had Frosted Rice, hawked by Tony Jr. (yes, Tony had a son)...

There was a slo-mo film of a young boy seeing a football game, popcorn kernels popping, and a dog lapping water. It was shown in one of the Noggin episodes. Exact episode number, not sure.

I still have a handful of tapes I recorded in the 80's, with Sesame bits, miscellaneous toons, commercials, wrestling matches, music videos, etc. Poorly edited, muffled sound, tape chewed up by VCR heads, but I still treasure them. Kind of a Frankenstein mashup of my teen years. No market...

Top ten of all time? You'd have to slip Terry Bradshaw in there.

There is never going to be any perfect technology. Everything will have some kind of glitch, but we try to make the best of them. Back around 1984 or so, when there was a video store on every corner (just before Blockbuster, there was a glut of mom-and-pop shops) it was cheaper to rent than to...

You can change your name, but you can't change who you are. Are you sure changing your name will erase the hate in your family? I agree, families can be cruel, heartless, spiteful, and it's easy to relate to friends as family more than your own blood relatives. But for the sake of Abuela and...

Each of his films was a landmark, including a short he did with Mack Sennett called "Easy Street". He also founded a little studio called United Artists. Wonder whatever became of that?

What happens if people don't vote for him? Does he have to go back to flipping burgers?

In our school, depending on what level of English you were in, determined what you got to read. Honors level- we got Shakespeare up the wazoo. "A" level got "Mockingbird". " B" level got "Lord of the Flies". So my only exposure to " Mockingbird " was seeing the movie years later.

The youtube clip of Bob, Susan, and Luis singing with some kids, with Luis playing guitar, is fairly close to the original. You can hear part of the backing track in the background. Until someone posts the version from the Sesame Street 2 LP, this is as close as it comes.

Listen to both and you can judge for yourself. They're both on YouTube. All you need is ears.

How do you feel about Ben Carson? At least at one point he was beating Trump. His biggest liability was his total lack of experience with foreign policy. But he didn't seem corrupted by the incumbents or special interest groups. Hillary flip-flopping every which way, saying anything to save...

Back in the late 70's/early 80's Tony did get to venture out a little. One ad I really liked, a group of cowboys were griping about eating crappy oatmeal (looked more like glue). Along rides Tony on his horse, looking like Clint Eastwood. He offers his Frosted Flakes, but they sneer "Ain't that...

Tony used to be more active in his commercials. At sporting events or any athletic competition, there was always some little kid who couldn't measure up to his peers. Tony would take them under his wing, have breakfast with them (even at 4 in the afternoon) and the once-wimpy kid is leaving his...

It's nice Neil let Bruce Palmer play bass with him wherever he can. The guy needed a break, after being deported and all the drug busts he racked up.
