Luke

I believe she was one of the big shots that founded CTW and thus S.S.

Uh, yeah, she was the big shot behind SS.

Luke, you need to study up on your "Unpaved" book more!

And if ya don't have one, GET one!

Hey, cool. Joan is my mom's name :)

I dunno who this Joan is, though. Just thought that was neat seeing my mom's name on here..lol

It's true, she's the big honcho behind SS.

Wait a minute---Joan is a woman. So should that be "honcha"?

You're thinking of the Man of La Mancha

Luke

LOL - thanks for the running commentary Nate & Byron ! I don't know who she was because quite frankly i don't care for the 'street'.

*Cue :- Boo's and Hisses*

I do bow down to her greatness though !

I guess it's Elmo that put me off, but i never watched it past about four episodes, although Big Bird and Oscar did amuse me once (oo'er).

BTW Nate - hasn't Phil had enough applause yet ? Can't we have some for the poor little ol' orphan Penguins ? :D

Exstatically - the orphan ones are cheaper to come by when you need recruits to blow up ! :D

radionate
07-23-2002, 05:51 PM
You would blow up orphan penguins? how horrible.

is it fun?

Luke
07-23-2002, 05:54 PM
Yeah well it has it's moments - it's quite an unusual hobby so it works with the babes !

Janice & Mokey's Man
07-23-2002, 08:11 PM
Dude, how can you not like the 'street'?!

:mad:

Oh sure, you have a right to not like it now cause it apparently SUCKS---but the classic years?! C'mon!

I believe you mean "ecstatically".

;)

Say, can I get paid to be a proofreader here? Sure beats not gettin' any money elsewhere (so far...)...

Luke
07-23-2002, 08:16 PM
I dunno - it was always on early in the morning here, and i was into the Transformers and Roland Rat (UK Puppet). If the classic years were anything before the mid eighties then i was too young anyway.

Nowdays, even two seconds of Elmo and i need asparin - when he's on TV with Rosie O' donnel i need resusitation !

Janice & Mokey's Man
07-23-2002, 08:22 PM
Nah, the classic years were up to about '90 or so. Before Elmo took over!

Ugh...

Thank God I'm not a kid now!

I'm clueless. I haven't heard anything about her involvement with Sesame Workshop lately.

Warrick

Hey,
I just got the First Ep of Sesame Street , And some more Season One Clips.

You need to get them, You will be blown away!

Oh,
And to anyone willing for a trade, I also want most of the First Season on Video.

See ya

Luke
07-24-2002, 08:27 AM
I shall have to look more into this classic sesame deal - i do like some of the characters, (Bert, Ernie, Big Bird, Oscar, Count, Grover, Cookie) but its just the whole show that somehow turned me off. I'll look at some videos pre-Elmo's takeover.

Y'know i've just thought, maybe Elmo was a spy for EMTV all along ! :rolleyes:

Oh my god, someone phone the press, a rare outbreak of bad taste plague has broken out in Oxford, Mississipi. How on earth can you like her - she's annoying, but not even in a funny way.

BTW checked out your radio site Nate and lovin your work dude ! :D

radionate
07-24-2002, 11:26 AM
I love Rosie, always have, always will. She's my Mokey and Janice (but not in that sick twisted way like Byron). She is just my favorite! Bad taste it may be, but I love her!

Thank you for checking out the site too!

Luke
07-24-2002, 11:51 AM
Nate,

So when are you on ? Weekends what time ?

Janice & Mokey's Man
07-24-2002, 12:09 PM
Just thought I'd say that I like Rosie, but not in that sick, twisted way like Nate. ;)

I used to turn on her show just to watch the monologue even if I didn't care about her guests, cause they were always funny.

radionate
07-24-2002, 12:12 PM
Weekends and whenever they call me in. Normally I'm the afternoon dude, even when I fill in. 5-9 on Saturday, and 2-7 on Sundays. Not to bite the hand that feeds me, but it's not my pick of a station to work for. I'm underappreciated and used, but it's resume material none the less. I just miss doing mornings and production, my first two loves. sigh

Luke
07-24-2002, 12:13 PM
Cool - i'll check it out. I have been a radio person myself a few years ago - though not presenting but (a very small part) of a Zoo team !

She really served as a great role model for me in broadcasting and life. I never want to be the shock jock, just the king of nice on the airwaves, with a little twisted humor and double entondras thrown in for fun!

I will someday be king of all media: film, tv, radio, theatre, and print!

NOT BYRON. YOU CAN NO LONGER HAVE ANY COOKIES OR HOST THE SHOW. YOU HEAR ME. SHE IS MY IDOL. WHEN MOKEY OR JANICE HAVE ENOUGH TALENT TO HOST A SHOW AND RETIRE, THEN YOU CAN TAKE OVER FOR THEM, BUT LEAVE MY ROSIE ALONE. YOU ALREADY HAVE THE FOL GIRLS, THAT COUNTRY SINGER, JANICE, MOKEY, and MARY. PLUS YOU GET TO BE DOROTHY AND SUZANNE. MUST YOU HAVE EVERYTHING?!!!! :mad:

*ahem*

Allow me to make my points:

I will have cookies whenever I want.

Janice and Mokey BOTH have enough talent to host their own shows and retire. Obviously you have not followed their successful careers as closely as I have. Hmph. :mad:

And I am NOT Dorothy!! I am ROOOOOSE!! Just ask Jackie, she'll back me up on this, *maaan!*

:mad:

No other girl could be called Britney Spears - there is only one, the original ..... well aside from those who also underwent the surgery on suspicious rest periods for 'ankle breakage' ! ;-)
