ION, I think the makers of the B.C. comic are Billy Idol fans.
the new album is called Devil's Playground, and it was released the same week this comic came out.
Sweet lumpy minion, you're the only one that understands. Probably 'cause I haven't sucked the brain out of you yet.

The status is NOT quo.
The Sesame Street "near...far" just gave me the first true happy I've had all day.
During a road trip from Seattle to San Francisco, my best friend and I borrowed someone's massive (this was the early 90's) video camera, and we had way too much fun with the zoom (near.....far!) on the way. It was especially funny when in the Redwoods. Actually, it is probably only really funny to me, but the memory of that trip gave me a huge warm fuzzy.
Thanks msbelle and amych!

Ok, the Royals are in last place now, but they could still end the season in some other place that isn't last.

Kathy, I associate the Inchworm song with the old Hans Christian Andersen film starring Danny Kaye. I'm pretty sure that's where it comes from. Well, at least for me, in my head, I always hear Danny Kaye singing it.
Really? Oh, well, I guess that doesn't surprise me--"Mahna Mahna" was a cover version, too. I just never heard it without seeing the Inchworm muppet moving along.
For me, my favorite monster was Sweetums. I love him, especially in The Muppet Movie.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I loved Forgetful Jones.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
An ex of mine who worked for Henson told me aeons ago that they'd have to start scaling back Big Bird since the yellow fella is very low-tech (guy in a suit, arm in the air) and the pupeeteer was aging.
I was all "Tech-up Big Bird, yo! Get the monitors and robot arms and all that stuff!"

I had a pet Slimey. (My dad made it out of a bit of orange and yellow climbing rope.)

Carol Spinney (Big Bird muppeteer) has got to be in his 70s, at least. He does work with a TV monitor strapped to his chest--that's how he sees since there're no eyeholes in Big Bird.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Oh, me, too! In fact, I was just singing that song on Friday. As a tribute to Danny Kaye. I am such a nerd.
