But adult obesity still looms large (pardon the pun).

The voice of Grandma in this ad sounds like the spokesperson for Popeye's chicken. Buy a knee brace and get two sides and a biscuit free.

One Thanksgiving song. Alice's Restaurant. You really don't need anything else.

What did you hope for if you went out trick-or-treating yesterday? What did you give out... or keep for yourself? For me growing up, any candy bar with caramel scored with me. What I didn't like was anything sour. Smarties, Pixie Stix, sour Jolly Ranchers, not for me. And candy corn... I'd...

Certainly can't say his life was cut short. Now he and Pat Morita are grilling burgers at that big drive-in in the sky. Yep, yep, yep, yep...

Well, back in the days before cable (you never lived through that) CBS only showed them once a year. If you didn't have a VCR and you missed it, you'll have to wait til next year. Can you feel the love now?

After almost 50 years, the Great Pumpkin and the Christmas special still haven't lost their bite. I always love Sally's rant about how she'll sue Linus after getting bamboozled out of Halloween tricks and treats. And thus begat the Age of Entitlement. It's too bad they trim a few minutes from...

Just break the ice and ask "How are you doing?" If you try too hard, or try to come off talking smooth, people will see right through that. The best you can be is yourself... with a little confidence. Whoever you talk to, get to know a little about their interests. LISTEN to them. It might take...

Getting through college is tough enough even under the best of circumstances. You got stuck with so much more on your plate, so it's understandable having these breakdowns. But getting a job to provide for your family, or curing the sick, does not fall squarely on you.All you can do is your...

I've taped over or erased a number of precious bits too. VHS tapes used to have a tab on them to prevent you from recording over programs. I'm sorry you lost some Sesame bits. (so did I, so I feel your pain). If it's any consolation, you still have your memories to hang on to. And even if it...

Europe- "The Final Countdown". Loved it back in 1986 when it first came out. After 30 years used for sporting events, commercials (any song used in a Geico commercial is the kiss of death) please lay this one to rest. I have recurring nightmares of big hair and spray-on pants.

Looks like the mystery is solved. Drtooth, you meddling kid, you! Actually the commentary throughout the whole reel was hysterical. Right up MST 3000's alley. Good stuff.

The best episode of The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh was called "Find Her, Keep Her". I dare anyone to watch it and and not cry.

Cheers!

I did have a kid-friendly record player. All you had to do was put the record on the turntable and close the lid. I just had to share with my older sister. I had my Sesame LP's, she had her Partridge Family albums. I had the first four Sesame albums and a few knockoffs. One was the Peter Pan...

There's a record store (Princeton Record Exchange) still doing booming business right across the street from Princeton University. They sell a ton of CD's and DVD's, but the bulk of their trade is still vinyl LP's. And their biggest demographic isn't old geezers like me, it's college kids buying...

We've been down this road before, and if you keep disobeying him, OF COURSE he's gonna take your iPod! But you're the one who has to live with the consequences of your actions. Listen to your dad and keep your iPod OR disobey him and have it taken away. Even at your age, you're responsible for...

A side note on the subject of fonts: I used to get office e-mails "From the office of JOE BLOW" with his name magnified 16x and embroidered with all these flowers and filligrees and stuff... "staff meeting at noon". He wasn't that high on the corporate ladder, but wanted to believe he was...

Unless you're Governor Christie:)

A little late, but some birthday celebrations stretch a whole week. Hope yours was a good one.
