It might help if we knew who the Big V was. The one person I think of is Dick Vitale, the very noteworthy - and loud - college basketball analyst. He would be the kind to swallow a radio in a sketch, being an announcer. I checked and he was a coach in New Jersey in 1969, when someone...

Well, I think the Sherman one was an attempt to make it funny for adults as well as kids. However, general William T. Sherman - the man who marched through Georgia near the end of the Civil War and burned most every city - is more famous for burning Atlanta, not Savannah. I suppose he burned...

I'm pretty sure that was right. The Giants would have been playing then, not the Ynakees, but that's okay because there was only one major league team in New York at that point. (American league formed in 1901, and theidn't have a New York team till 1903.) Just seeing a score with "New York"...

Is he a good skater normally on roller skates? Does anyone know? I can't balance well at all, and barely did more than stand the time I tried to roller skate - and I could hardly do that on the hardwood skate floor, only on carpet. Even if he could skate well, though, it would take him a good...

lol, that's clever. I had never read that book, but it sounds funny. I did something of the opposite in a humor column for our college newspaper once. I noted how little X and Q and Z are used, and advocated putting silent letters willy nilly in words just to increase the distribution and...

Thank you for sharing. It was super!

In some cleaner places? I've never seen it as anything but "I don't give a darn," except for one place where event hat was changed to "I don't care." Obviously I've found the tamer versions of their stuff. BTW, www.baseballalmanac.com has it, and they or some other baseball site also has...

Yeah, although I think 1-2 of the people might have gotten it and just egged you on to see if you'd keep saing it. That's another problem with those jokes. I'm a huge fan of them; and as I work in our church's middle schoold epartment, I'm often encourging the kids to find their stuff, as...

See, that's all there is to it. It was easy, huh? They play that every time our first baseman goes up to bat.

Great job, it'll be sorry to see this end. Do you have an idea who will win, or are you still tring to decide? I half expected a very bad (but very Muppdt-like) pun with Luna I figured someone would shout "You da moon!" (Instead of "you da man" of course.) However, since only one person...

This is more of a fanfiction type of answer where one tries to explain it in story context. However, perhaps the menu and theme changed. I can't always see real well who's int he background, but you say there are still kids in there, with muppets also. So, perhaps the number of older...

REally, I didn't realize it waas the same person. I remember that episode where the Fonz has a deaf girlfriend. Of course, that may be why my joke trying to explain where she was fell flat. Maybe I should have used Shermy. :-) That's why my best comedy is in stories and sketches, though...

LOL, that was great. What a golf match. I love how you're finding such perfect contestants for each match. Of course, Beau probably did the whole course in so few strokes he was declared the winner once everyone else had made more - which was pretty easy. The President thing ws great - I...

Sorry, I should have remembered some people take things a little more literally on this board. Linda was not on Happy Days. This was a joke in reference to her being totally forgotten on Sesame Street. It was actually not even the crux of the post, but I then explained who Chuck Cunningham...

I think they intended for Linda to be on a date with Chuck Cunningham. :-) (For those who don't know, there was a 3rd Cunningham kid on Happy Days the first 2 seasons, Richie's older brother. He disappeared after season 2, was never referred to again, and in the finale Mrs. C., at the close...

Thanks. I wonder if Praire could be one of those ladies that goes around delivering little gifts and things to patients. That might work. I know they're pretty common, especially in certain wards; a lady at our church retired and now spends a lot of time visiting patients in a local...

Don't expect the next part for a long while, this is just a sampler. I'll put it in a separrte threaad when done, thoughjust so more people can see. Ernie held one end of his stethoscope in his hands while thinking. He was so glad to be working at the clinic - even as a simple medical...

Cool, thanks, I missed that one, I might have to look for it. I don't have time to reaad a lot, though. As for Praire Dawn, I guess I was figuring if Grover can be a waiter and professor and be supposed to be about 4, Praire Dawn could be a nurse, too. However, an AM could be just as well -...

Thanks - I can't promise I'll have anything more really soon. However, it is something that may continue someday. As you recall I did a series of B&E type skits for another TV show once for a story, and could do some of them here. Also, there's this "Doctor and patient's family" version of...

We’ve got a great story about Sesame Street and its beginnings on here - but I wnted to share my own ideas on Bert and Ernie. If you’ve run out of ideas for your “in the beginning” story, whoever was doing that, feel free to use any of these ideas. This is just my own thoughts, since we know...
