Too bad Lorelei got phased out after Season 1. But she did leave behind one memorable nursery rhyme. Rinky Dink Dink Three men in a sink The butcher (Morgan Freeman) The baker (Lee Chamberlin) And Freddie the Fink (Skip Hinnant) Fred gave a tug And pulled out the plug And I think that that sink...

Hey Cullen. This is what a dead forum looks like when Rigor Mortis has set in. But you and I Keith this thread alive in spite of toxic politics and what not. you might remember this mad scientist bit with Morgan Freeman as the scientist and Luis Avalos as Igor (these hold up quite well). Igor...

This will probably be my last post, but there’s a lot to say here. Four blue states-California, New York, Connecticut, and my own New Jersey- are reversing their mask mandates the second week in March. It has little to do with Omicron fading, but more to do with how shaky ground they’re standing...

I don’t know if it’s just that. This forum has been slowly dying for a long time. Muppets aren’t as relevant as they once were. Sesame still exists, but that’s not as relevant as it once was. In the Disney universe, more attention is paid to the latest Marvel project, Muppets are almost an...

That’s nice to get encouragement from those you admire.

A fool finds no pleasure in understanding, but delights in airing his own opinions. Proverbs 18:2

I may be schizophrenic, but I have each other. Eric Idle

Snowthy has found a kindred spirit. He can’t name an anti-vaxxer either.

No, because the large insurance companies with the big advertising budgets cover car and life insurance. Health insurance is harder waters to navigate, because insurance varies from one state to another, and is government subsidized. I will tell you this much about life insurance. Most...

That’s part of the deal. Because insurance companies rake in billions of dollars, they can afford massive ad campaigns, and saturate their ads on many channels. When an insurance company gets big enough, they can even buy their own football stadium.

Hey Cullen. This thread might only be relevant to you and me, but hey. Another Very Short Book In the original nursery rhyme, There was an old woman who lived in a shoe She had so many children she didn’t know what to do. She gave them some broth without any bread And whipped them all soundly...

I ‘m sure you’ll be fine. Yes, Omicron is contagious as anything, but the side effects aren’t as severe. Now you’ll have natural antibodies if a new strain comes along.

There was one other highlight from yesterday. There is a local hero on the New York streets called the Naked Cowboy. He has a guitar around his neck, a cowboy hat, and his tighty-whities . He’s been a fixture of Times Square for twenty years or more, been on the news quite a bit. He was out in...

Well then, maybe your perception needs a little fine tuning. You don’t have to be a particular class to enjoy a Broadway show. The choreography blew me away, you could hear everyone’s voice clearly, and every seat had a good view of the stage. And King George, who had three songs, could lead the...

Yesterday I went into New York for the first time in five years. A friend of mine had an extra ticket to Hamilton, and asked if I wanted to go. It was a great show. Before Covid, Hamilton was the hottest show on Broadway,, and tickets were near impossible to get. It’s not a matter of if the...

My Irish blood can take the heat, but the humidity can do me in. I understand your skin condition. But if it’s more favorable to your health to go north, to Minnesota, Wisconsin or Michigan where winter lasts from November through April, what’s stopping you from leaving? You hate your state,you...

This thread hasn’t been up that long, but I’m having trouble remaining if I mentioned this or not. Senior moment. I don’t know how many other states besides New Jersey have their own official state sandwich. But here, it’s Taylor ham, egg, and cheese on a bagel. Any bagel shop, any diner has...

It’s easier to fool people than convince them they were fooled. Mark Twain

That’s why I rarely visit other boards, let alone social media. The level of toxicity is appalling. But you brought up a good point about Sesame episodes. Yes, some are so engrossed in getting everything they can get their hands on, and no matter how much they have, it’s never enough. I remember...

2021 I really fared no better, no worse. Pros: A new guy started coming to our church who plays guitar and joined our worship team. We spent a number of summer evenings on his front porch singing and jamming away. He brought a number of new songs so our repertoire expanded by leaps and bounds...
