He'd stand on top of the stairs with a tray full of goodies, and proudly announce "nine lovely jam tarts" or whatever, and then he'd trip and fall and the food would go everywhere.<BR/><BR/>It used to really upset me. All I could think about was this poor guy, who'd spent hours working on these cakes. And now it was all ruined. And he'd probably have a nasty bruise as well.<BR/><BR/>I think I can't have been the only young kid to have empathised and ended up crying instead of laughing, because they got rid of him at some point.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07477727620596783913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20327577.post-26465655346280517692009-01-21T09:38:00.000-08:002009-01-21T09:38:00.000-08:00I always think "ponzu" instead of "ponzi" - you kn...I always think "ponzu" instead of "ponzi" - you know, the citrusy soy sauce?

My husband HATED it so I watched it alone because Seth was incredibly sexy. What happened to that actor anyway?<BR/><BR/>I have the same issue with people not knowing WHAT I am talking about. I think it's because I read so much, watch so many movies and TV shows. And possibly because I am a librarian. <BR/><BR/>We just know a lot of shit, man. Nobody else can begin to compare.<BR/><BR/>You should watch "Gilmore Girls" for the pop culture references if for no other reason. The other night they referenced Spike and Druscilla and my husband and I (avid Buffy fans) were awed.Jan Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01017940083154196373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20327577.post-31659145747191247782009-01-14T14:54:00.000-08:002009-01-14T14:54:00.000-08:00I wondered on over here via the comment section of...I wondered on over here via the comment section of The Maiden Metallurgist's blog. <BR/><BR/>I read your about me section and laughed my ass off. My mom and one of my sisters are both librarians. That whole "Sarah Palin looks like a sexy librarian" thing enfuriates so many people in my family... myself included. <BR/><BR/>Also, I work in an eyewear boutique and I get really militantly angry when someone tries a pair of glasses on and says "Omg I look like a librarian" and whips the glasses off immediately. My response has become "My mom is a librarian." It's so fun to see dumb people squirm. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for making me laugh on this dull, winter day!Peace Turkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06832803442735787512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20327577.post-66796715132908893402009-01-14T14:28:00.000-08:002009-01-14T14:28:00.000-08:00Ba ha hahaaa!

Now everyone can see Snuffy, Ernie and Big Bird have this daily thing called "Journey to Ernie," and Elmo hogs the entire last 20 minutes of the show. It's just not the same anymore.Desperate Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04646972372049652156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20327577.post-10790202488008964622009-01-14T13:55:00.000-08:002009-01-14T13:55:00.000-08:00A couple weeks ago, I brought up the movie Teen Wi...A couple weeks ago, I brought up the movie Teen Witch. Someone asked me if I meant to say Teen Wolf. I wanted to ask if she meant to sound like an idiot, but it turned out that no one else knew about Teen Witch either. This led to me over-explaining the plot for about 5 minutes. Yes, the plot of TEEN WITCH!<BR/><BR/>Deadwood is awesome. In my own defense as a reader, you commented on a post I made about Deadwood ages ago!

And this is where I will confess that I have watched re-runs of The Jeffersons a lot in the past couple of months. Florence cracks me up. Oh, okay...I've been watching Good Times too. And Newhart. And this one is kind of hard to admit, but I've also been watching a lot of Andy Griffith re-runs. <BR/><BR/>P.S. I can't begin to tell you how hungry I am right now. My stomach is growling. And guess what my word verification is? Just guess! It's "ingest". I think I'm going to go do that right now.Sauntering Soulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14828034063817184110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20327577.post-62634379792896712622009-01-14T07:16:00.000-08:002009-01-14T07:16:00.000-08:00I'm reading the new book about Sesame St just exac...I'm reading the new book about Sesame St just exactly because things like "Savion Glover was on Sesame Street!" and "Mr Bentley was on Sesame Street!" and "That tiny Mormon from Wicked was on Sesame Street!" still agog me all the time.<BR/><BR/>I get ponzi and panko mixed up.

Thank goodness I am comforted to know there is another person thinking the same thinks about ponzi. I love Mr. Bentley and his wacky number painting. To me it's funny because the story behind it is a dude with a crappy job and he refuses to actually to the job, so he paints where ever he wants. The chef! Yes! I remember that guy. I sorta hoped to catch some of his baked goods, because, hey it's baked goods, yum. <BR/>btw, The street I lived on my whole childhood was named Sesame Street. (I can hear the developer still laughing) It's the truth there are such streets with this name (don't doubt the mid-west)and boy did it make life hell when you ordered a pizza, or applied for your first job.Yvonnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08367932522316232498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20327577.post-63161412940397645802009-01-13T20:21:00.000-08:002009-01-13T20:21:00.000-08:00Sounds like we would be solid friends.

I recall thinking that painting on a balloon looked very satisfying for some reason. Guess I was a weird kid too.teacherninjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07690406470351639188noreply@blogger.com
