That was actually a song from one of those kiddie sing-a-long LPs I adored when I was a kid. (Probably long after other kids stopped seeing Sesame St. as cool. ) Luis gave Cookie Monster a piece of his mind, because C.M. didn't share his snacks with everyone else at the sing-a-long.

It was great. I didn't watch any Seseme Street.

From one of mine:

A peanut sat
On a railroad track
His heart all a-flutter
Along came
the 8:15
toot-toot
peanut butter

I love peanut butter

Tee hee..

whatchadoin' thoth?
watchin' TV
whatchawatchin'?
Sesame Street
ain't that fer kids?
Is not! Is not! Is not!

I love sesame too. Sesame oil, sesame balls... ah, good Chinese cuisine...

In the Popeye cartoon of Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves, Popeye says "Open Sez me!" instead of "Open Sesame"

That cartoon had pretty good animation

I could see "Sez Me" being the next way of summoning a Thunderbolt in a "me, me, me" society.

The Fleischer Popeye were awesome. They also did a series of Superman cartoons

I watch French cartoons to improve my French.

Kid's programs would help too as they usually speak slower

Indeed, and they use simpler words

I used to love reading the British comics for girls my English-born pal from down the street had. Sorry to say, they didn't do much to improve my English. It's still about the same.

My English is good because I read a lot as a kid. I had so much trouble with my Filipino though. To this day I still think in English, and my English vocabulary is at least twice as broad as my Filipino vocabulary.

mr_cleome keeps trying to steer me towards one of those learn-as-you-go language sites. It's true I'd love to have at least a passing knowledge of Portuguese, because I love Brazilian music SO much. I really want to put it off until bad-weather season returns, though.

So, I'm learning Filipino for nothing???????

Not nothing! Think of all the fun you, I and Blaze can have gossiping about the others in filipino

I do not gossip. I do share interesting stories about others.

Interesting stories are good to share

Someone wrote a really good fanfic once about Scott Summers and Matt Murdoch as childhood friends.

I just heard about "ship" and Pov told one about our trip home from Wizard World Dallas. his was a bit direct and short. I embellished it a bit.

Here it is:

Pov just had to have those 2 Big Gulps just before they had left and now they were stuck in the mud on a dark Arkansas road. Just then a pickup truck pulled up. “You fellas need some help?” “Yes. We are 2 idiots from New England.” “My name is Jake!” said the handsome young man who stepped out, flashing a Steve Trevor smile. “I’m Quis and that’s Pov. Thank you for stopping.” “Quis, eh? Most guys here call themselves ‘Quissy’. I like Quis.”

Quis placed his hands on the back of the car. He felt a tingle as Jake’s hand covered his. “Not too much gas Pov, slow and easy as Quis & I push.” Slow the car moved forward, when suddenly it lurched onto the road. Quis lost his footing and fell face first into the mud. Jake and Pov couldn’t help laughing, but soon Quis joined in. “My place is just around the corner. Follow me and you can get cleaned up.” “I better call our friend Lash. He lives in Memphis and is expecting us.” “Memphis is another hour or two away. Why don’t you crash here and you can go to your friend tomorrow? Although one of you would have to share my bed.” “I toss and turn, so you better bunk with Jake Quis.” “The shower’s in there” said Jake pointing. “Toss out your muddy clothes and I’ll wash them. Here’s a robe for you to wear.” After a quick but refreshing shower and his clothes tumbling in the dryer, Quis, Pov, and Jake settled down for the night.

The smell of coffee and bacon woke Pov up. From the couch he could see Quis still sleeping in the bedroom. Turning to the kitchen, he saw Jake fixing breakfast. Jake was wearing just an apron. “Morning Pov. You are one sound sleeper. Kind of like my cousin Ralph from St. Louis.” “If you guys aren’t in a rush, I can show you around the area here for a bit.” Pov choked slightly on his coffee when Quis said “I’d love to explore the beauty of Arkansas.” Plans were quickly made in which Pov would go to Lash’s and Jake would drive Quis up there later that night. At 9pm, Pov got a call. “Do you think you can drive home by yourself? I’m going to extend my vacation for a couple of more days.” “Will you be alright?” “Yeah Jake’s a nice guy.” That was the last time Pov spoke to Quis. Quis’s postings to Legion World slowly tapered down over the next 2 years. Pov liked to think that Quis found love and happiness in rural Arkansas.

What a nice little story. Jake sounds like quite the keeper

And now we know Quis will ditch plans for love.

Aw, who wouldn't?

But Quis forgot to mention whether it was a dark and stormy night or not.

Yeah, the keeper of all the others he keeps in his basement after going out at night searching for break downs and captives.
