I have trouble with that with the T.V. We're on a farm which is on a long, open stretch of two-lane scenic road. The state troopers are forever racing by, on their way for coffee/doughnuts. The T.V.-ad sirens always make me think someone's had a horrible accident out there on our road...

That is such a not cool story, it's bothering me. Back to ads - the M & M's spots where people holding stuffed M & M's describe their favorite M & M's commercial. Very charming.

Get thee some PLAX, goes right through all the beverage grunge. There's a peeve, grunge in general.

Try cinnamon. A serious peeve of true merit would be no toothpaste at all. Now, that would be bad.

Flu shots only address the strains of flu predicted to be hanging about, based on worldwide travel patterns of the many, many influenza viruses. They do not by any means prevent all strains of flu. Flu is highly contagious and is airborne, so just talking to someone can pass it on. Young...

That's an unfortunate story. Can we get back to commercials?

We are totally addicted to Muppet Family Christmas in our house. Favorite moments: WATCH OUT FOR THE ICY PATCH. Your friends are a bunch of WEIRDOS, Fozzie!

Very good indeed. No snow here yet. It'll happen on Thankgiving just so everyone will have plenty of trouble getting around to festivities. Always the way around here. (In boonies). Or sleet, even more fun. No one saw anyone at Christmas last year, we were all socked in out in the...

I love the new CVS ad. People have so much time on their hands from not having to wait forever for their prescriptions that they've become total delinquents, with cops chasing them everywhere. Toilet-papering trees and things. I love this. Elderly Guys Gone Bad. Excellent.

Excellent. It does get better. After your own kids, especially, the travel thing does get tougher and much less fun. As you go along over time you'll find yourselves creating your own traditions, too, which is nice. Happy Holidays to you and your fiance.

Yes, and too, hypercritical people inevitably are so miserable within, that criticism is their only comfort. So, just go your merry way from them'uns.

Peeves T.V. ads which clobber you over the head with noise, musical or otherwise.

What's your favorite holiday movie scene or moment? If someone's already done this on MC just ignore it completely. This can be Muppety or non-Muppety, theater movie or TV movie or TV special, it doesn't matter. Comedy, drama, anything. Mine is when Harry comes home from the War in It's A...

Pino, try snailmail, not e-mails. Also, read the above posts. Henson is a huge, overwhelmed company. The volume of mail is unreal for them. They don't only respond to U.S. people. It's just too much, they can't respond to every letter, unfortunately. Good luck. :sympathy: :sympathy...

I prefer to be supportive of everything Henson does but I don't think "Good Boy" is among their better efforts.

I love Muppets Christmas Carol. :cool: :cool: :cool: I can't see the Wizard of Oz idea, it might be a misstep for them. WOZ is, like Gone With the Wind and Casablanca, one of those films that should always stand on its own and not be remade by anyone.

What have you decided to do? :sympathy:

The new BMW spot; the car's flying along with four angels/cherubs for safety flying one next to each tire. They're all wearing their little radio headsets and obviously enjoying their jobs. :cool: :cool: :cool:

Eczema. :sympathy: :sympathy: :sympathy:

Right on Right on. Another of my old hippie expressions. I've never been a party-liner, I'm a registered Independent and take each candidate on their individual merits. We've had the good, the bad and the ugly from all sides of the spectrum. That being said, Nixon was hideous, false, and a...
