Sesame Street is 40

I know that seems old, but I would've thought it was older.

Because I was in afternoon kindergarten, I didn't watch Sesame Street, I watched Electric Company. That's right kids, there was a time when you couldn't just watch whatever you wanted. You had to read a paper schedule and plan accordingly.

They didn't have muppets, but EC had Spiderman. My mom took us to see Spiderman at Merit Mart (!) and I was too scared to meet him, but was kicking myself all the way home on my cowardness. If only I could meet Spidey now to appease my inner child!

These videos prove Sesame producers are just as high as they were in the 70's. Good to know.

Rock on Sesame Street!

How Much Do I Love Jon Stewart. Let Me Count the Ways.

I avoid Glenn Beck's poisonous personality so much that I wouldn't know it if someone was mocking him. So thanks to Mo for pointing this out!

I like the little knee lift at 4:13. My crush continues.

I know very little about Sammy Sosa, but I know this doesn't look right.

This will make straight men drag their wife to a Broadway show.

Sighting

Tyrese. The bald, black model/actor. Sports bar in Hollywood. I'm more surprised that I saw myself there!

Clinton Statue

Make your hard jokes now.

I'm not sure I'd want my arm at that angle. But it's in Kosovo, so maybe he didn't get to see what it looked like ahead of time.

Ricky Gervais will host the Golden Globes. Right on.

Andre Agassi's mullet was a hairpiece?

Craig Ferguson met Bush and the Cheneys and lived to tell about it.

How Badly Does Spade Need Money?

If I were him, I think I'd rather beg my sis-in-law Kate Spade for some cash before I would do this. No, it's not porn. It's the Tommy Boy Directv commercial.

When I first saw it I was appalled. Now I don't know what I think. It is good to see Chris Farley again, and Tommy Boy is hilarious, but I'm not sure I'm for it. Not that they've asked.

I've heard Directv did commercials for Poltergeist as well, starring the deceased girl from that movie. I haven't seen that one. I've seen Naomi Watts in the King Kong one and that's when I figured it must pay really well. I have Directv, and after the horrible customer service I received recently, I now know where all there money is going.

You Go on Amazing Race and You're Afraid of Water Slides?

Mika is afraid of water slides. And I'm afraid of what that was on her back. It looks like a worm in an alien movie, under her skin. Or that birthcontrol they gave women too dumb to remember to take a pill daily.

So Mika's boyfriend tried to force her down the slide. But then he got mad at the Harlem Globetrotter who was telling her not to go down the slide (if she didn't go down, the HG's could have their turn and be ahead of Mika and her bf). When Mika didn't go down the slide, her bf told one of the HG's that he was a piece of crap.

Ok- you forcibly try and get your girlfriend to go down a slide for a million dollars. How is that any different than the HG telling her not to go down? He wants the million, too.

Rahner Goes to Forks, WA

Forks is where the Twilight books take place, but the movie wasn't filmed there.

I don't want to take too much credit, but the towel suggestion was all me.

U2 Live Webcast Tonight

I have been trying to ignore the fact that Bono is in town and I will not be seeing him. The Rose Bowl concert is sold-out, and even if it wasn't, from what I've heard- it's a huge place to see a concert (that means: maybe I'm too old to be dealing with all that nonsense). Still- Bono.

I just happened to stumble upon this fact: U2. YouTube. Live. Tonight.

WooHoo! I don't have to stand in line to pee, wait in traffic, have weird people rubbing past me. I can pee and still watch the show. That is the beauty of laptops.
