All of the goodness of the '70s is available at the following link; just click on the '70s tab at the bottom: http://www.sesamestreet.org/onair/history/voteresults If it were up to me, pinball (1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12) would be the best of all time. Although, 'Near and Far', '2: The Mad Painter', 'H: Hand', 'Lady Bug Picnic', 'A Fly in My Soup', and 'Alligator King' are pretty sweet, too.

Sesame Street turns officially turns 40 today and as someone who closely mirrors the classic 'edutainment' show in terms of preference and age I am pleased to draw your attention to Google's appreciation for what the Children's Television Workshop delivered to millions upon millions of kids across the world. Kudos to Joan Ganz and the great folks who brought this show from concept to reality.

As Sesame Street begins its 40th season (!) here's a great musical number featuring David, Luis, Gordon, and Bob. Think of it as a funky alternative to 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12.

The inevitable arrived - the dreaded end of season for the Brownsburg Junior Football League. The very first year of 'Rookie Tackle' was a huge success and many thanks to Hayes' wonderful coach, Stan Ritchison, for his great work with the boys. While the final game was won by the Titans 2 TDs to 1, it was a great ending to a fantastic year. Go Colts!

This is kind of neat; it is the cutting edge of what's becoming described as 'production as performance video' . My favorite part comes at 2'04"; as someone who admittedly listens to the original (yes, it's in my iPod) it's pretty funny. Grapefruit = Pampelmoose

It's good to know the folks at Sesame Workshop, in preparation for their 40th season of Sesame Street, haven't lost their touch. Where else can you find a Don Draper muppet and the word 'sycophant' in the same sketch? (Be sure to scroll down that last link to see the Beaker vs. Conan O'Brien comparison.) Ah; if only Henson had created a show for older audiences, like this one.

It might be hard to stick with the entire article (after all, how long are you willing to watch 1999 Apple ads featuring Jeff Goldblum at half-speed), but it still works as a concept. Courtesy of The Morning News.Jeff Goldblum's Downward Spiral (a story in 5 episodes)These are actual Apple ads from 1999; they're just played at half-speed.

Definitely NSFW that is, in a late night TV sort of way. I mean, it did air on network television but it still pushes the boundaries; hell you make the choice. And, yes, only dog lovers can laugh.Fast forward to 12'10".

I'm sure the police report will list it as consensual but I think not. Remember, no means no!http://www.fox6now.com/media/photo/2009-07/23976417637620-17124506.jpg

This item has wolves on it which makes it intrinsically sweet and worth 5 stars by itself, but once I tried it on, that's when the magic happened. From a customer review for a t-shirt at Amazon; don't read if you're easily offended. I wonder what Bezos thinks of this. (Perhaps he owns one?)

Unfortunalely, I can't translate for you but 'gas' and 'super' require no translation. Look for the new exhaust at 3'10".
