Thanks to my parents’ high-rise (ok 9th floor) beachside condo, I have seen the green flash several times, including the turquoise flash variation.
As far as the drive to vote- a friend or family member- yes. An acquaintance- no.
I can lick the inside of my elbow, but not the outside.
Yes I tried to lick my elbow. How would I know how to answer if I didn’t?
I can lick the outside of my left elbow. For some reason the right one doesn’t even come close.
I am very well aware that I’m not flexible enough to get my elbow anywhere close to my mouth. No need to check.
I still have no idea which the poll intended.
Outside; not your elbow pit.
I had already tried to lick my elbow years (decades! my goodness) ago when the question made the round originally, I couldn’t do it then, and I doubt I’m more flexible now.
That may well be true, and it was my first inclination. I’m kinda old and creaky these days, but I was in a goofy mood so I pulled my left elbow up to my face and hey presto!
If I had tried the right one first I may have given up and not tried the left elbow, and never learned of my leftflexability ![]()
I would take anyone to vote if they needed a ride.
One of these things is not like the others
One of these things does not belong
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?
As in, The Muppet Show, Kermit?
Yay! We have a winner!
The others were intended as kids’ shows and shown during the daytime. The Muppet Show was for all ages and while syndicated usually aired in the evenings in most markets.
You people are old.
Elbow-licking: Inside yes, outside no.
Thank you for including Garfield Goose on the list!
Non-green pinching: That was very popular when I was in grade school (Michigan, early-mid '60s), but I haven’t seen or heard it since.
“I will give this sack of doubloons to [whoever quacks most convincingly like a duck].” It’s the subject of that clause, and the entre clause is the object of the preposition.
Pi: 20. Sir, I send a rhyme excelling, / In sacred truth and rigid spelling, / Numerical sprites elucidate / For me the lexicon’s dull weight.
Otters: Which one(s) do you have in mind? Per Wiki, “The 13 species range in adult size from 0.6 to 1.8 m (2.0 to 5.9 ft) in length and 1 to 45 kg (2.2 to 99.2 lb) in weight.” But no matter which one(s) you pick, the answer will be more than 100.
I lived in suburban Chicago until I was 10, so I grew up on Garfield Goose, Bozo, and Ray Rayner. ![]()
Same here. My parents said that when I was barely verbal I used to watch Garfield Goose, and called it “Goo Goo Goose”.
I sometimes watched Sesame Street as a teenager and Pee-Wee’s Playhouse as an adult, so I didn’t count those. Both began airing after my childhood.
How much personal space does an otter need? I don’t want to arrive with a lot of dread otters because they’ve attached each other.
As for the right to die… I’ve gotten old enough to be keenly aware that all of us suffer from a terminal condition, it’s just a question of how long. So while i support medical assistance in dying, i think it should come with a lot of guidelines, and “is that person is going to die?” isn’t really the right question to ask.
Thank you for making this point better than I could have.
There was no “I am completely opposed” option in the euthanasia poll.
Why no Romper Room in the kids’ show poll?
When I was little we received both Baltimore (Stu Kerr) and DC (Willard Scott) TV stations so I had two Bozos to choose from. I didn’t care for the Willard Scott Bozo, he was better at being Ronald McDonald.
I was too old to watch any of those PBS shows regularly. I did watch Peewee Herman as an adult.
I watched Sesame Street and Captain Kangaroo when I was young, and the Muppet Show when I was older.
I watched syndicated re-runs of the Mickey Mouse Club. The darkest day of my life was when I learned that Annette Funicello was married and had children older than me. ![]()
Also no “other” option.
Too many variables in play to make a choice.
mmm
