The Temple Bar - Zoots Don't Get It On Wit' No Skank ... UYMFA

[No spoken words]

For you older posters: do you remember when Mr. Snuffleupagus on Sesame Street was Big Birds imaginary friend?

I was watching Sesame Street with my daughter earlier tonight and everyone was talking to Snuffy. I was shocked. I said so to my wife and she called me an idiot (not uncommon or inaccurate). But I know I'm right. It used to be that only Big Bird could see him. Right?

You're VERY correct.

 

[No spoken words]

Wait. Couldn't kids see him, but, adults always seemed to be unable?

wikipedia's a great help:
"For many years, Big Bird was the only character on the show who saw him since his introduction in 1971. The main adult characters teased Big Bird when he said he had seen the Snuffleupagus, because they did not believe there was such an animal, often despite evidence to the contrary ... This running gag ended with the November 18, 1985 episode of Sesame Street, which was also episode 2096 and the 17th season premiere, when the adults finally met Snuffy."

ha!

I have no idea what context this Snuffy stuff is coming from, but I remember watching that episode. ld:

I just registered for a 10k walk on Saturday (MM signed up for the 60k bike that's the same day, I just followed suit), and have ten more pages to read for class tomorrow that I'll finish at lunch or before class tomorrow night, after which I'm meeting MM for a fundraiser at a bar for his team.

I need an IV full of coffee starting around 7am tomorrow... Thx, bai.

 

[Zoots]

April, did you post where it itches???

 

[Sicy]

April you better hurry up@!1!!

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Umm...

 

[Sicy]

I love you April and I miss you, come visit me

 

[Zoots]

C'mon April! Don't be shy!

Guys, I don't think yolland likes you. She doesn't like me because I think everyone in FYM are narcissistic idiots.

I don't dislike anyone on Interference. I really don't. There are a couple individuals who make me want to smash my unduly large head through the monitor on a semiregular basis (probably not anyone you'd guess--I have weird taste in nemeses), but no one I lastingly dislike. What does bother me is the habit of reducing individuals to their worst tendency, whatever that might be. But I'll grant that election season certainly spotlights those like nothing else.

talkin of which, I do remember the wonderful John Leguizamo on SS, and people said he used to always watch the camera-men/camera/just look offside, etc.


I remember that!

 

[Drea]

IIRC part of the reason they made the adults see Snuffy was to do with helping children to report child abuse (indirect connection of course) - they wanted to show that children could tell adults something and be believed, even if the adults didn't see it themselves (but of course to end the gag they actually had to have adults see Snuffy so they could apologize to Big Bird about the whole thing.)

I know I'm phrasing this awkwardly, but it's not even 7am


**Nearly forgot - welcome back snow!

I completely agree with that. I can't tell you how many times I've come on here to have an intelligent conversation and all I hear is, "That Dalton is a phenomenal lover."

Sure, sure, we get it people. I'm great in the sack. But I'm MORE than just that.

 

[mad1]

yeah, you are the skill of gymnastics and the KILL of karate.

 

[UberBeaver]

My bloodsport DVD is arriving Friday. I find this news to be welcome.

 

[mad1]

good luck.

I bet the sides of your armchair will be ripped to shreds from all the finger-gripping excitement.

 

[UberBeaver]

The sides of my chair will be ripped to shreads because I am going to master Van Damme's moves to such a point that my strikes become like razors. Only then can I defeat Dalton's karate/gymnastics mixed madness.

And where do you think Daniel Larusso learned to fight?

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I love you April and I miss you, come visit me

You should come visit Michigan

We could go to the casinos here and you could meet Mia

 

[Zoots]

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

IV full of coffee, pls.

It's rainy and dark out, too, which never helps either...

(Hi BoMac) It needs to be tonight, preferably after class.

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

Rainy and gloomy here... I guess we are gonna get a bit of what was left of hurricane fay here.. so they say..

I could use an IV of coffee myself..

 

[Zoots]

What's an IV?

 

[UberBeaver]

What's an IV?

The number between III and V, duh.

 

[Zoots]

So what's a 4 full of coffee?

Those of lesser skill refer to it as a Pommel Horse. Is that why you "giggle" elfa?
