The new What Made You Smile Today thread

Sadly there are folks who make fantasy into reality. There was a story I heard of a kid who died in the sewers because he tried to find the teenage mutant ninja turtles.

That almost sounds like an urban legend.

It could be actually, mind you I wasn’t sure if it was true or not. But in the end, a child’s mind is long from development so it possible.

Back to what this thread is for, I smiled today because I saw @Any Del upload this to his YT channel today:

I have a very good memory of watching this a a friend’s house way back when I was little. Probably one of my earliest.
Yeah, I know it’s on HBO Max, but they edited out my favorite part (Go Down Emmanuel Road). Glad to see it again in it’s full glory. Thanks.

Anyone who's meeting the Sesame cast from GalaxyCon, ask them where the vaults are located to release every classic Sesame Street episodes instead of having to wait through whatever services that will just edited them. We fans of Sesame Street are entitled to see classic content. We pay our hard earned tax money on your show and we are being mistreated by your obsession of modern content. We want classic Sesame Street content and we want it NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shut up, Patrick.

This came up once before. I believe the vaults are located in the archives of the University of Maryland. Someone (Mario???) was going to pull this big heist.. Never quite pulled it off.

Sesame Street was never directly funded by taxes. A big chunk of money came from various foundations (the Carnegie Corporation, back when we used to have a steel industry) Exxon, Mobil Oul, and McDonald’s chipped in as well.
And back in the 70s they used to hold beg-a-thons. Various Sesame cast members would be on our PBS station hitting us up for money. Pledge a hundred bucks, you got a tote bag. That was the deal.
Now that Sesame is under the banner of HBO, I would think the revenue would come from subscribers.

I mean, at least now we have the opportunity to look at the years of work on the AAPB library site, even if it is only on two locations. I want to make sure I’ve seen everything I want before moving out of New England.

I got a little misty eyed remembering my time at Toys R Us. I worked for them from 1999 to 2005. I helped service the giant Times Square store.
I got to visit Times Square about 30 times. We had a few big product roll outs. It wasn’t just a store, it was meant to be an experience. There was a Ferris wheel, a giant T-Rex, Wonks candy, it was great.
The store was open long after I left the company, but it never turned a profit. Rent was so ghastly expensive.
Walmart and online shopping crippled Toys R Us, but also some bad financial deals which ultimately made them close.
But for a brief time, I was glad to be a small part of it all.
