Get Their Loyalty When They're Young ...

Oh, damn, old school Sesame Street is available on Netflix!

 

I will now confuse their recommendations algorithm even more.

 

Speaking of which, my sister and I both agree that if Obama weren’t around, our definite second choice for president would be Bob McGrath. Because who among us would not follow that man to the ends of the Earth and back? He’s got more qualifications than some candidates and current presidents I could name—not only does he know some Spanish, but he can play the piano, speak ASL, and sing in Japanese, and all evidence points to the conclusion that he can read ... can reeeead.* He can definitely count, so our economy is covered.  And it would absolutely improve foreign relations, because it’s damn near impossible not to like Bob: after about two minutes in a room with him, the leaders of Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran would all be gathered around the piano for a sing-along.  Conservatives and liberals could all get behind Bob, because he is so damn nice. And I think we can safely say that the Department of Education would get a much better deal than it’s getting right now.

 

Plus, he’s only a little older than McCain!**

 

Honestly, you cannot look me in the eye and tell me you would not vote for Bob McGrath.  Your heart would have to be made of stone. And I know that's not true. And so does Bob.

 

 

*For example, once he read in a newspaper about a guy who ate 1000 pieces of pumpkin pie.
 

**He'd just have to be careful when choosing his running mate.  Nobody wants to think that Elmo might be just a heartbeat away from the presidency.

I just saw this blurb about Samantha on Jezebel and thought of you. Although I am hideously unhappy that now I'll never get a Samantha doll (they were "too expensive" when I was a kid, boooo).

Yeah, the AG comms are up in arms about Samageddon. Although the comm I'm at doesn't quite think she's the one with "all of the best outfits" (WTF?), we're not exactly thrilled about the precedent ...

If by all the best you mean NO.

Addy's School Dress > Sam's school dress. It are a fact.

Hi!

I just wandered in from Metaquotes. I read your userinfo. I read about henna'ing "Tea. Earl Grey. Hot." onto your arm.

I just have to say this.

He's been Captain for seven years. The ship still doesn't know how he takes his tea?

Sorry. I'll just see myself out now...

If he weren't dead, my vote would go to Fred McFeely Rogers.

*dies of amusement* at the thought of Elmo for president. Still, we could do worse. At least Elmo isn't a raging bigot.
