The commercial I saw wasn't a 30 minute infomercial, just a 30-second spot. Concentrated Stupidity. I just thought one could appreciate the irony of having to pay for a solution to get out of debt by charging it.

To quote the late Frank Zappa: "Some scientists argue that the basic building block of the universe is hydrogen, because it's so abundant. I disagree. I feel the basic building block of the universe is stupidity, because it's even more abundant than hydrogen". There's a tv commercial selling a...

The address that used to be Henson Associates is 227 East 67th Street. The original location for Sesame Street, the now-defunct Teletape Studio is on the corner of Broadway and 81st Street, which is a short cab ride from Carnegie hall and Central Park.

All kidding aside regarding some of my other posts on this thread, this one really gets me bent out of shape. People who illegally park in handicapped spaces. Two years ago, I broke my ankle, and I was on crutches for three months. It really ticked me off when someone would take a handicapped...

Wanna come up with something both men and women will hate? Bacon-scented candles.

Okay, this might not be a genuine rant, but a faux-rant, if you will. Ten-year-olds saying "I remember back in the day..." No, Junior. For you, "Back in the day" was last week. To really embrace "Back in the day", you have to get a few decades under your belt first. Vote for a few presidents...

I hope something comes your way soon. But like newsmanfan said, send out resumes and get ready to pound the pavement. In tough times like these, you have to be aggressive and really sell yourself to potential employers. You'll really have to convince them you're the best one for the job, and...

A kindred spirit! We can be on Sesame Street! You can belch the alphabet, and I'll belch to 20. In English AND Spanish! :)

Okay, this is for you women. Maybe you can help this guy out. Assuming all you body parts are intact, no amputations, birth defects, or any other anomolies. You wear a pair of shoes, because you have two feet, right? You wear a pair of pants, because you have two legs, right? You might wear a...

If drinking and driving don't mix, why do bars have parking lots? Even more perplexing- on the tv news, when they show the weather, and give the 5-day forecast,(Monday rainy, Tuesday sunny, etc.) for sunny days, they show the sun wearing sunglasses. WHY IS THE SUN WEARING SUNGLASSES????!!!!

Today I picked up a jar of Peter Pan peanut butter, and on the label there's a warning: CONTAINS PEANUTS. Wow! There's peanuts in peanut butter, folks! Who woulda thunk it? I know food manufacturers have to comply with the FDA and list all ingredients that might be harmful to people with...

Good for you for donating your hair. My wife's done the same thing. Great cause.

There's a show on Spike TV that started a new season called Repo Games. Here's the deal: The repo man comes to your house to take your car away (I know it's a hassle paying off your car folks, but the bank wants to hear from you ONCE in a while). In order to keep your car, he'll ask you five...

The coolest toy to have back in the early 70's was a Hoppity Hop. Couldn't be simpler. Just rubber and air. Hop on, and bounce away to your heart's content. They still make them now (latex-free, for kids with allergies) but now they want you to wear a helmet while riding one. If political...

I don't care how popular he is now, he just doesn't have any respect or credibility from me. All the musicians I admire, not just for their talent, but for the dues they had to pay before they became successful. The Beatles spent three years playing sleazy clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg, and...

Did you hear about the blind skunk that fell in love with a fart?

FAVORITE BAND: The Beatles, The Who, Yes FAVORITE CD: (right now) Frank Zappa- We're Only In It For The Money FAVORITE MUSIC: 60's British Invasion, progressive, jazz, blues, Gregorian Chants FAVORITE TV SHOWS: Fraggle Rock, The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour FAVORITE MOVIE: Bedazzled (the 1967...

For some other priceless Clampett moments, check out An Itch In Time (1943) Not only do they still have the scene where the flea reaches into his pants and pulls out a telescope (hmmmm....), but they have the last three seconds that was edited years ago (can't understand why...) :)

Picture Shelley the Turtle singing "I'll Get There" and that's my voice in a nutshell. I did have a brief stint as a DJ in college, and some people have said with a voice like mine I should be on the radio, but I'm afraid not too many people would touch some of the records I'd play. You'd have...

Toon #1 you mentioned was 1953's The Simple Things, which was the last time you'd see Mickey in a short until 1995's Runaway Brain.
