Well, except for a few parts I mentioned above, and what Xerus remembers, my memory is a little foggy on this one. (Just how much do you remember from a clip you haven't seen since 1978?) Poco Loco would not have been there, Sam was long since retired by then, Count wasn't in it, and the cast...

Remember fanny packs? They were a big fashion accessory in the late 80's-early 90's. But the name was misleading. Hardly anyone wore them on their fannies, since they'd be too easy for people to pickpocket and hard for you to reach. So people spun them around to their fronts. Maybe they can...

Xerus, gotta hand it to you. You remember this clip even better than I do, and that's no small achievement. I bow to your excellent memory.

Hooper? He hardly knew her! :) Seriously, it really hurt when I found out Will Lee passed away. I was 14 at the time, and well past the targeted viewing age of Sesame Street, but when you grew up with the man (I was about 20 months when Sesame aired) it's like saying goodbye to your own...

Unfortunately haven't got a scanner handy, but if you stop by any magazine stand/drugstore/supermarket, you can check it out and be as surprised as I was.

I just saw on the newsstand Life Magazine's annual book of celebrities who passed away this year, and Jerry made the last page! Carroll Spinney drew a beautiful picture of Big Bird, with a tear in his eye, saying goodbye to Jerry, with the Count, Mumford, Herry, and Fat Blue surrounding him...

65 degrees and sunny here in New Jersey, feels like spring! January will probably throw us into a deep freeze, but I'll take Sunny Days. (Sounds familiar?) Christmas Day, 1984, it was actually 70 degrees here. Back then my brother had a 1965 Mustang and we got to ride around with the top...

Welcome back, my friends, To the show that never ends, We're so glad you could attend, Come inside, come inside...(Emerson, Lake and Palmer, "KarnEvil9", for those who want to hear it). I'll be over here lacing the eggnog with a little brandy for anyone who wants to partake in a little...

Amen, Brother Snowthy :)

I'm Caucasian (about as pale as they come, between Snowthy and me). My dad was Irish, my mother English, but my family tree also has some Italian, Jewish and German branches. Raised Catholic, but now I'm part of a Christian Reformed church. But religious titles don't matter to me. It's what's in...

Frank seemed a lot looser than the two times I saw him live. He handled everything Colbert threw at him really well. I was fortunate enough to meet Carroll Spinney once, and talk for a while about Muppets, Sesame, Jim, etc. and you come away feeling you'd really like to sit down and have a...

Once when Grover was an elevator operator (that job had it's ups and downs) he was Mr. Jenkins. Or a reasonable facsimile.

I got a few more words that might help you out. One thing in life that's important is being true to yourself. If bizarre is beautiful to you, then that's great. And if others think so too, that's great, too. But not everyone might agree. You might even find people that don't like (dare I say...

The best thing that ever happened to the Twinkie was back in the 70's, when they covered it in chocolate and called it the Chocodile. (They had a crocodile mascot, but the brand only lasted about a year, but what a year it was!) I think it's hysterical all the hoarding going on and people...

Life is what you make of it. Unfortunately, to be good at something, you MUST try. Can't get around that part. Especially realizing your dreams. You can make your dreams come true, but trust me, you're gonna have to try like you can't believe. Unless you have a natural talent nobody else has...

Being sick on vacation sucks big time. Hope the worst is over. Take two daydreams and call in the morning.

Crusader Rabbit was the blueprint for Rocky and Bullwinkle- following the exploits of a cute hero and his dim-witted sidekick (in Crusader's case, it was Rags the Tiger). RIP, Miss Bliss. But hey, 95? 96? We should be so lucky to make it that far.

It's been ages since I've seen this too, but a few little bits stand out: Gordon is at the supermarket, and finds a monster in his shopping cart. (Surprise!) Bob tries to sing nursery rhymes- "Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water"- and gets a few buckets in the face...

Thank you one and all. This must be the biggest disaster to hit New Jersey since the Hindenburg. A disaster can bring out the worst in people, but also the best. And in 12 days, I've seen more best than worst. Let's keep that spirit going, in case we ever have to go through this again...

Today's Friday, still about 250,000 people in the dark, but today many coastal residents are finally being allowed to go back to their homes and see what's left. So things are slowly returning to normal. Some of you around the country probably got a bigger picture of what happened than we did...
