While Reading My CNN Feed (mistakenly thinking I was reading my ESPN feed):
What the hell was Reggie Bush doing is Jerusalem?
Ohhhhh. I’m an idiot.
While Watching “Little Bear”:
I hate this frigging show. This and Franklin. They are so sappy they make me want to puke. It reminds me of that Denis Leary bit where he is talking about those people trying to sue Judas Priest when those kids committed suicide and he says“Explain it to me. Heavy Metal bands on trial because kids commit suicide? What’s that about? Judas Priest on trial because “my kid bought the record, and listened to the lyrics, …..” Well that’s great! That sets a legal precedent. Does that mean I can sue Dan Fogelberg for making me into a pussy in the mid-70’s. Is that possible, huh? Huh?! “Your honor, between him and James Taylor, I didn’t get a blow job ’till I was 27 years old. I was in Colorado wearing hiking boots eating granola. I want some fucking money right now!” I hope Franklin and Little Bear don’t make my kids wieners.
While Cooking a Pork Roast:
Wait a minute. What am I doing? Am I cooking a pork roast from a recipe that I got from a cookbook that I checked out of the library? Who am I? My mother would be so proud.I better call her before I make my Gratin Dauphinois. Dauphinois? I wonder if they are related to the guy who sent Henry V the tennis balls.
While Watching “Heroes”:
Holy crap! Simone really looks like Kelly.

I am totally with you on Franklin and Little Bear. I would turn off the TV but they are so dang soothing to the crazy kids that rule my house. What is that all about?!?

Little bear also makes me physically unwell. I’ve found myself poring scorn on the fact they encountered a sea monster “That wouldn’t happen!” I said, then realized I was watching a program about a talking bear.

Ha, Little Bear and Franklin are two of our favorites. The show I can’t stand is Cailou. He’s a little jackass.

Yes, Simone does look like Kelly, but Kelly is MUCH prettier!
And her laugh is better too!

Wow! Such literary range in a single post!
I knew there was something I had against Dan Fogelberg. And Billy Joel! Set me back *ages*!

Ugh, fucking Franklin.
I never let Ig watch him because I’m afraid he’ll start liking him and asking to watch him.
And, of course, it’s the first song to get stuck in my head. I’ve started making up alternate lyrics, like, “Hey, I’m ugly, looking in your faaaace…”
or “Hey, that’s plankton, swimming in plaaaace…” just so I don’t go insane.
My kid’s a Wubsy man all the way.

Seriously, turn off the Franklin and Little Bear. It will turn them into wieners. They’re better off with Judas Priest.

Are you watching old Heroe’s episodes? I didn’t miss a new one did I?

Heh, love Denis Leary. Too funny.

YOU are hilarious! This is my first visit here and I just added you to my feeder.

Reggie Bush in Jerusalem would confuse me, too! I’m still laughing at that.

I got confused and thought “Why are Little Bear and Franklin cooking hotdogs for the Squad at Sarah’s against her wishes?”

I hate little bear, what’s up with that music? Franklin is annoying too.

oh, that stupid Franklin song gets stuck in my head whenever someone mentions the show. Like right now..I can’t stop thinking about it….so thanks a lot!
My son is a Blues Clues addict, only he calls it “Boos Coos” One day my hubby asked me why he keeps asking for a booze cruise!

Which begs the question:
What sort of children’s shows would you rather have the kids watch?
(Reminds me of a clip from Family Guy you may have seen on YouTube which has Brian taking issue with Stewie’s choice of an English kiddie-show import as “the latest indoctrinating pablum for kids who don’t have much to do anyway.”)
