Now THERE'S a visual.
I was in the middle of a phone call and couldn't remember if I clicked post.
The only good puppet is a dead puppet.
I like to come home too two waggin tails.
Um, CG. They aren't really alive, you know...
Ya see, the ventriloquist puts his hand up inside ... um ...
... never mind. You're right.
"There are two kinds of people in the world: Those who put everything into categories and those who don't."
Is this redundant?
Um... I think all three are dead.
You ain't one of those anti-puppet people are you? Come on. Look at those cheeks! They'd never hurt ya!
From l to r we have Jerry Mahoney, Paul Winchell, and Knucklehead Smiff. I was a member of the Mahoney club for most of my elementary school years.
'course, then there's THIS puppet....
Does LE know yer talkin' about her tail?
Sure!
I really liked your tagline about fitness. Put it up on my locker at the gym (we just joined a gym).
Not sure about redundant, but circular... yes. ;-)
Um... there is a joke in there somewhere. One I'm certain my darling wife would not approve of.
tryin'
this seems to be my "10-year flu"
tried to kill me in '85
made life hell in '94
kicking my ass now.
same symptom set and cascade progression.
this bug, or something like it, is the front runner for what will eventually put me down for the dirtnap.
not yet - not anytime soon, but sooner or later I will get old and feeble, and it WILL kill me.
Very cool!!

It's the best I could come up with on short notice...
December 21, 1922 - June 24, 2005 Paul Winchell had a lifetime of achievements however I was most impressed with what he was doing right up until his passing. At 82 Paul was still active and was working on streaming video that would showcase full half hour children shows from the 50's and 60's. Not just his shows, but as many performers as he could get that had wholesome children's programming. He wanted it all to be free to the public. He knew more about and better understood the technology of the Internet than most people one quarter his age and often compared the spread of broadband to the early days of television when he could judge the spread of television by the number of rooftop antennas. Paul had a dedicated media server that was streaming some of his early work for a while (Paul Winchell Kids Network) but put the project on hold for a year until technology could catch up, broadband had a greater saturation, and he could get the rights for the shows he wanted to broadcast over the Internet. I will greatly miss my long conversations with him and his desire to push the boundaries of "what's next" rather than living in "what was". As was often the case he was a little ahead of his time.

Thanks! It's nice to know you think I'm qualified for SOMEthing!
LOL!
How is Ana? Have you taken any piccies lately?
I tried to snap a few of her. But like most physicists will tell you, it's hard to take a photo of something moving that fast. On the rare occassion she is sitting still, she's gettin' cuter by the day.
