FUB, please read more carefully. Zebra’s wife temped at Nick and read the letter. She didn’t write it.
I apologize, Zebra.
Periwinkle doesn’t do much for me, either. Me, I’m a big fan of Mailbox and Side Table Drawer.

Well Blue in a girl and Magenta is a boy.
[QUOTE]
Magenta is a boy? Really? I didn’t know that. Hm. But then, the first time I saw Magenta, I immediately thought of the Magenta from Rocky Horror, and she’s a girl. So I guess I just assumed that Blue’s friend was a girl, too. I guess I won’t know for sure until I see Blue’s friend Magenta dressed in a French maid outfit…no, wait… I don’t guess that would really prove anything either, would it? :eek:
Yep. He’s just got a buttload of striped rugby shirts and Dockers. I always thought that it was guy heaven–don’t ever have to think about what you’re going to wear.

I love to make up awful lyrics to songs. Most are just off the top of my head, but a couple have become standards in the H. household, such as
original: Blue Ske-doo, We can too!
Bill: Blue sniffs glue, cocaine too!
original: We are looking for Blues Clues, wonder where they are.
Bill: Manashevitz is Jews booze; drink it at a briss.
There’s more and worse too. For that show “Bob the Builder”, I’ll sing about “Carl the Crack-head” or “Pam the Porn Star”
No problem FUB. The Nick people did have a good laugh and I personally am smilie imparied.
That’s the funniest thing I’ve read in a long time. I have a 10 year old sister who used to watch Blue’s Clues, and I have cousins aged 3 and 5, so when I’m over with them I get a dose. Blue rocks my world, but I’ve never considered her a puppy before. Steve seems dangerously unbalanced, as though he might pick up an anthromorphic hatchet and kill all the residents of his psycho-house. I know I’d go crazy living in a place where freaking EVERYTHING is alive.
Steve: Why what’s this lying on the lawn?
Hatchet: It’s me, hatchet!
Steve: Hatchet! Let’s hide and seek with everyone in the house!
Cut to various drawers and spices and utensils running and hiding behind furniture as Steve rampages through the house, his stripey shirt flecked blood, splinters, etc.

Believe me, if Blue talked, Steve would be going away for a looooong time.
From Jack Batty:
So a talking mailbox and talking spices are OK, but a talking dog is grounds for institutionalization?
[vaudeville comedian]
“So the pepper turns to the mailbox and says 'Will ya look at that! A talking dog!”
[/vaudeville comedian]
Whhhoooossshhhh, right over the head.
Olentzero, it’s not that blue could talk that would send Steve away for a long time, it’s what she would say… about Steve… and who she would say it to…
Are you following us here? STEVE DOES NAUGHTY THINGS TO HIS PUPPY!!! Was that straightforward enough?

Thank you.
Next time on NYPD Blue:
Audience of kids: A clue! A clue!
Sipowicz: Hey, you’re right! We just found our first clue! Let’s write it in our Handy Dandy Notebook. Hmmm, how do I draw a picture of Barely Legal Puppy Dog magazine?
I have a two year old who absolutely loves Blue’s Clues, and its starting to grow on me. It has a very vaguely Pee Wee’s Play House feel to it (not anywhere near as entertaining, but along the same vein).
I haven’t bothered to check this out, but I understand that there are a few web sites devoted to Steve Burns and the women (and men) who love him. The theme song to the Gay Men’s Steve Burns Fan Appreciation Site follows:
“I just got my butt reamed,
I just got my butt reamed.
I just got my butt reamed,
I wonder who it was?”
He’s also an Executive Producer of the show, now, I believe. “Listen, I’ll do your stupid ass show about talking furniture, and finding clues, and sitting in my thinking chair, and all that bullshit. I’ll even wear your stinking green shirt - but its going to cost you. I want to be made Executive Producer, and I want script approval, and I want residuals, and I want a cut of the merchandizing. So put that in your handy notebook and call my agent. I’m going to Vegas to screw some showgirls.”
Steve Burns may be an executive producer, but one thing’s for sure-he doesn’t really like doing the job, if I remember reading correctly. He recorded his last episode last year. He quit because, as he put it, “I didn’t want to become Krusty the Klown in front of the nation.” By next year, you should see a guy named Joe, the Steve character’s brother played by Donavan Patton, in charge of Blue.
From various responses:
I… knew that. I was just testing you.
Hey, at least the vaudevillian routine was funny, wasn’t it?

Too late.
Sorry about that.
Preview, preview.
