VERY nice!

I was lucky enough to meet him a few years back, and he is one of the nicest, most decent people I ever met. And he has reached a wonderful stage of contentment in his life. He keeps performing, he still draws, he has a wonderful wife, and he's very satisfied with everything he's achieved in...

Begging your pardon for my ignorance on this subject. Maybe it's a generational thing I missed out on. But how would someone my age set about the task of watching tv ironically? (To me, it seems ironic if I can keep my eyes open til the end of the show, but there must be more to it than that)...

Merry Christmas everyone. The peace you find today should be carried year-round.

Just about nailed it. Got New York/Newark/Paterson. Pretty neat. The sandwich went through a number of changes in my lifetime. When I was little, it was definitely hero. Then in the late 70's-80's it became hoagie. Now it's universally sub. Snowthy, you'd appreciate this. When I was little...

Maybe we can modify this thread now that CVS has Valentine hearts already.

Yes, Christians do come in for special abuse these days. If you say anything negative toward Jews, you're an anti-Semite. If you make a comment against Islam, you're an infidel. If you don't agree with homosexuality, you're a gay-bashing hater. If you say anything that goes against the grain of...

My condolences. But she had a long life, and touched you. I've come to understand death is not final, we may be separated for a time, but reunited in Heaven. And there's comfort to know there's no more suffering. ...And in time we'll understand, When the river meets the almighty sea...

One Rankin-Bass Christmas special that seems to have fallen through the cracks is "Nestor the Long-Eared Donkey". Tale of a poor donkey who gets treated with cruelty by various masters. Escapes with his mother but gets caught in a blinding snowstorm. His mother protects him from the ravages of...

I think if I win the Mega Millions (next drawing worth 550 million and change), I'm gonna buy a boat, name it "The Passing Wind" and see how many get the joke.

Psalm 55:22- "Cast your burden on the Lord, and He will sustain you".

It's the same feeling I get when you're studying in the library, and nobody respects the library as a quiet place anymore. Soccer moms are yakking, kids are screaming and running amok. It used to be so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and if anyone made the slightest disturbance they'd be asked...

I'm not sure if a set of Between the Lions exists, (it would be fantastic if it did) but they did used to sell individual episodes.

No, Peppermint Place would've been a little after my time. However I do remember the early days of Nick and Eureeka's Castle, which I thought was great. Not to be confused with Peppermint Park, which is a whole other kettle of Drtooth's fish.

On the flip side to all the crappy shows that you've been subjected to, back in the late 70's when cable first became available, there were a number of syndication deals that allowed us to see some kiddie shows that were big in other parts of the country, but unknown in New York. And I was...

HOLY CRAP ON A STICK!!!! The Teletubbies were the Black Eyed Peas all along! Who woulda thunk it?

If you've seen the South Park episode where they mention a woman's "cha-cha", you get the idea.

I pray for a fast recovery and restore your eyesight. There are very few things that scare me, but going blind is a biggie.

Another thing that definitely helps is finding the right church. You can read the Bible on your own (it'll take about a year if you read a chapter or two a day), but it's better to be around like-minded people, a lot of whom probably felt exactly like you. It doesn't always work going to the...
