    Stupidity Strikes Again (Revisited)

    A few months ago it was discovered there were actually peanuts in peanut butter (!), now I find on a bottle of sleeping pills, there's a warning: MAY CAUSE DROWSINESS. Well, call me a goober from Short Hairs, Kentucky who just fell off the back of the proverbial turnip truck, but... ISN'T THAT...

    Remembering Jerry Nelson (July 10, 1934-August 23, 2012)

    I haven't been this heartbroken since Jim died. I'll never forget you, Jerry, for putting the "Gobo" in Fuzzygobo. Thank you for everything- words can't say enough.

    RIP Phyllis Diller (July 17, 1917-August 20, 2012)

    RIP, very funny lady. At the end of this year, the People Magazine edition of "Celebrities We Said Goodbye To" is gonna be as thick as a dictionary.

    The MC Birthday Index

    April 21, on the cusp of Taurus. I slid between Hitler (4/20) and Peter Frampton (4/22). Some years they made 4/21 Earth Day too. (cue: "We Are All Earthlings"):)

    RIP Ron Palillo

    Just found out Ron Palillo, who played Arnold Horshack on "Welcome Back Kotter", passed away today. He was 63. (That made him 26 playing a 10th-grader on tv, which was really stretching things a bit). Back in the 70's, "Kotter" was must-see tv on Thursday nights (followed by "Barney Miller")...

    Questions about anything

    Yes, just what we need- another reality show chronicling the exploits of a 6-year-old from "Toddlers and Tiaras" and her happy clan of country bumpkins. I guess TLC did not want to be outdone from the "runaway success" of "Redneck Vacation." Welcome to the Age of Enlightenment, folks!

    RIP: Sherman Hemsley

    From a bit-part character who proved to be the biggest thorn in Archie Bunker's side, to the voice of Mr. Richfield, and all the laughs in between, you were great, Sherman. He was one little pipsqueak who came out of his corner with both guns blazing. Now Mr. Bentley will have George...

    Shooting at showing of 'Dark Knight Rises'

    I don't know if you could classify him as insane. Disturbed, yes, but I don't think an insane person would have the wherewithall to systematically stock weapons, booby-trap his apartment to create a possible diversion (and cause more collateral damage in the process), enter/exit an emergency...

    I don't wanna grow up...

    One more point if I may: there's a HUGE difference between acting childlike and childish. Childlike is the starry-eyed innocence Jim had until the day he died. It's even considered a virtue in the Bible that appeals to God. This is where you hang on and cherish your dreams, keep that spirit in...

    I don't wanna grow up...

    If you need any more proof you don't have to grow up, I'm 44- yes, old enough to be your father- and I don't feel a day over 18. As you get older, you will have more responsibilities, more commitments, more obligations, but by no means do you have to leave your childhood behind. If you're able...

    None Like it Hot: The "I Hate the Heat" Club

    Please don't begrudge me too much, but right now in my corner in the world we have rain, and after a massive heat wave, a cold front moved in and it's 67 degrees, high around 75. Wish you were here.

    "Jump the Shark" Thread

    At least Fawlty Towers will never have the "Jump the Shark" syndrome. Twelve episodes over two seasons. Each episode was extremely well-written, the characters fully developed, chemistry was there. John Cleese took great pains to make sure everything flowed. And he insisted in no uncertain terms...

    Might be getting a good job, but I have mix feelings about it

    I know it sounds tough, but sometimes in life you might need to compromise just a little bit to get your foot in the door somewhere. Then once you're established, you can express yourself a little bit more. I admire your striving to remain true to yourself, but not to play devil's advocate, when...

    Wanted clip

    There is a clip on youtube that matches that desciption- "My Dad's A Real Bus Driver" don't have the link, but it's there for you to check out. Maybe it's the one you're thinking of.

    When you need to rant...

    Call me nostalgic for a bygone era, but remember when public libraries used to be QUIET? Where theoretically, you could go to study, concentrate, or maybe even have some quiet time to yourself? Maybe I need Peabody's Wayback Machine to go back a couple of decades to when this worked on paper...

    Most Misguided Parent Ever?

    If his daughter is only four, and has already been through such a painful ordeal, don't make it more painful for her by denying her a trip to Disney World. If he has things to settle with the mother, that's one thing. But don't use the daughter as a pawn. Because then his credibility for being...

    Questions about anything

    Ever make a cake or brownies? And eat some of the batter? (YUM!) (After you pour it into the pan and bake it, of course, you get to eat what's left). There are raw eggs in the batter, and for as long as I've been around, nobody I know has ever contracted salmonella. Maybe there are special...

    Fears of disharmony, mistakes, misunderstandings etc

    Join the club. I think a lot of people feel the same way on here to a degree. Creative people can be sensitive, or sometimes socially awkward, and sometimes it's hard to articulate your feelings online and hope people understand your point of view. But just be yourself, and I'm sure people on...
