New Jersey rarely has hurricanes or tornadoes on the magnitude of other parts of the country, but back around 1979 David blew through. The sky was GREEN, like I've never seen before or since, and it spawned a few tornadoes which took away our garden shed and what used to be our back porch...

Plus from what I understand, vegetarians, by virtue of their diet, tend to have more gas.

Vegetarians. While I completely respect anyone's decision to give up meat for whatever reason (health, moral, religious, etc.) I've run into a number of people over the years who have taken on a pious, self-righteous, holier than-thou attitude towards meat-eaters. Or have tried to put me on a...

If you're on an escalator an elevator, and it's going down, does that really count?

Let's hear it for our dads- and for those of us whose dads are no longer here, we'll never forget you... For katzi428- Hey Kathy, I'll bet my dad is up there with yours, and they're both enjoying Happy Hour (it's always five o'clock somewhere) and swapping stories about their amazing kids. :)

From what I understood, the fire happened at the Samuel Goldwyn Studios (which also burned down the set of the New Zoo Revue, another 70's kiddie show). One of the firefighters who showed up was Steve McQueen, who was in costume as the fire chief shooting The Towering Inferno over at 20th...

I'm afraid the closest I got to him was the Cliff Notes for Farenheit 451, but I can appreciate him more now.

Happy Hippie Birthday :)

Yes indeed. Before your time perhaps, but it's as real as rain.

Back in the 70's David and Maria were thick as thieves. However, there was one incident that was an omen of things to come... Once, David, Maria, and Luis were in a skit as circus acrobats. They were to demonstrate Up and Down. Luis was supposed to jump down off a platform onto one end of a...

There was a recent study that shows 99% of American households have at least one television. The same study shows only 97% of American households have indoor plumbing. That's a good summation of our society- Too much crap coming in, not enough crap going out. :)

By the mid-70's, Oscar was not just a grouch, but he could also be a real pest. So the adults' patience with him started wearing a little thin. One day Oscar decides to go out for a while, and he leaves a note on his lid: "Gone to store for good hot mud sundae- Oscar." (apparently he went...

What if in your heart you're Roosevelt Franklin?

I must have a million ball-point pens in my house, but I can never find one when I need one! And if I do find one, more often than not the ink is dried up. Dang me! I have a whole drawer full, but they're all DEAD! Pens must come to my house to die. Pens are cheap, usually you can get them 8 for...

I can't remember which building it is in the Smithsonian, but there's one display with Oscar's garbage can with him peeking out, the Sesame Street sign, Mr. Rogers' sweater, Fonzie's leather jacket, and Archie and Edith's chairs from All In The Family.

This might have been posted elsewhere, but I think it bears repeating. In 1976, I was 8 and going into 3rd grade. I still enjoyed watching Sesame Street (and why not?) but got razzed by my classmates for still watching that "kiddie show". Ironically, that's when the Muppet Show made its debut...

I think it's amazing people can be so desparate to save the hair on top of their head, and get rid of it everywhere else. Vanity perhaps?

If you work at the Unemployment Office, and you get laid off, where do you go?
