Scary, yes (as a 3-year-old this haunted me for months). Disturbing, not so much. And Drtooth is right. The older you get, the easier it is to appreciate Jim's artistic vision. He wasn't always trying to be silly, preaching world harmony, or showing the world full of rainbows and whiskers on...

I only saw the Arbor Day special once, it's that rare. The only memorable gag was Patty's explanation of the day's significance. "That's the day the ships sail into the (h)Arbor!" Another D- for Peanuts' token tomboy.

I remember the Easter Beagle as well. Linus makes another delusional claim about the rituals of Easter. But thanks to Snoopy, he actually comes through and redeems himself after the Great Pumpkin debacle. And Marcie sets a world's record for killing eggs. Patty was ready to strangle her. 8)

The one quote I do remember from the Thanksgiving special is Sally moaning it's Turkey Day, "And I haven't even finished my Halloween candy!!!!!!!!!" 8( Now, how much Halloween candy can she still have stashed away when she was out with Linus in the pumpkin patch all night? Just a minor...

Even if someone did have every episode in their possession, (and when trading Noggin tapes was a big racket, there were quite a few requests for this), some people never did the math: If you committed to watching 12 episodes a day, every day, you would kiss a whole year good-bye. Although there...

Back in October, I fell and broke my ankle. It took a plate and four pins to hold it together. I'll be on crutches through January. So being out of work on Temporary Disability, not being able to drive for a few more weeks, barely being able to stand, let alone walk, you would think I'd be...

"Good" pretty much sums it up. Without the monsters, this could be one of the generic holiday movies Hallmark Channel keeps churning out.

I do remember when this song was brand-new. 1976 or so. Bob and some kids sitting by a dock (with flashy sparkles in the water:)). Little children play, happy all the day little children, little children. The song was recorded in the studio and mimed, since outdoor acoustics are a nightmare. I...

I said it before and I'll say it again. It amazes me how something like this can scare some people, and others won't bat an eye. These face-morphing clips didn't scare me (I was actually mesmerized by them), but there was plenty else to give me nightmares.

How some people, like clockwork, get their iPods taken away for disobeying their parents. You would think after the first, fifth, or maybe even NINTH time, logic would prevail: "Hmmmm... if I keep misbehaving, my iPod goes bye-bye. Maybe I should wise up". Maybe the person in question should...

My alma mater, Montclair State University, did the same thing. Being the Indians was deemed offensive, so the Red Hawks were born. I wonder how long Notre Dame will hold out...

I was seventeen when this episode aired. I was a high school senior getting ready for college, going steady, holding down a part time job, and playing in a band on weekends. So Sesame was on the back burner for me, I had to put down the duckie for a while, as life kept me busy enough. It was...

The easiest way to register a protest is simply not watch. The hardest thing is getting enough people to agree with you. Diminished viewership = lower ratings = less advertising revenue. If a significant loss of revenue is the only way to get the producer's/writers' attention, something might...

I'm surprised nobody found this: a couple days before the movie's release, Peter Debruge from Variety magazine had an axe to grind. The movie needed some "modernization", and that end would've been satisfied by giving Charlie Brown a " non-white love interest". So, ol' Chuck should be shacking...

It's a crying shame how so many veterans get kicked to the curb. And yet politicians and celebrities love to hog the spotlight and gush "Thank you for your service". After the lights and cameras turn off, the vets are on their own. At least one company up here, P.C. Richards ( big electronics...

Some people really know how to use their brains. 8)

The Beatles were the band that inspired a few 14 year olds with me to pick up guitars and form a band. The best musical education you can ask for. 45 years after they broke up, young people are still discovering them and being blown away like I was. Cool stuff.

No, you're far from the only one. People will come and go from your life at all stages. High school, college, work, it never ends. People leave for different reasons. But if you become close enough friends with some of them, a part of them stays with you, regardless of where they end up. Hold on...

Then you'll have to settle for being satisfied with the iPod you have.

If your parents refuse to buy you a new iPod, you can always go out and get a job. If no one will hire you because of your age you might have to resort to odd jobs like babysitting, raking leaves (before it turns into snow-shovelling season), chores, whatever it takes. If you buy something with...
