Just a side note but I could never get into Charlie Brown. Just never really got it.

It's a Minnesoooota kind of thing.

Really.

Further evidence:
During the 1982 Charlie Brown television special "A Charlie Brown Celebration" he and Peppermint Patty have a conversation in which she talks about going to a "fancy" private school.
Charlie Brown replies with: "I can see you now in a white blouse and a blue skirt running out to play field hockey." (emphasis mine)

brenda,

^_^ I had a little guy in the library yesterday, who wanted some help finding a book. Didn't want a story book, he wanted something real. Trucks, he said, with that very serious face that only little boys on a mission can pull.

Doing early research no doubt. I hope you had some good material for him. He sounds ready. Early by ten years, but ready. :)

My first book ever that I can remember was about trucks.

They were seriously serious business at the time. Along with pterodactyls and F16s.

On my 4th birthday I got this rad Tonka truck that I played with for years. I kept it forever, and I think a nephew may have it now.

How many lacerations on your fingers and palms did you get as a result? :lol: After just a little wear and tear those things appear to be made out of razor blades.

Those Tonka trucks are indestructible.

And they hurt.

My brother had one growing up. He loved to crash it into things and they would bounce off and hit whoever was unlucky enough to be near by, leaving a pretty decent cut on the shins.

You just know that 70% of adult Peppermint Patty's Wardrobe is flannel.

She also has a chain smoking habit and attends feminist rallies.

Man I wish The Venture Bros. would parody Charlie Brown. What they did with Scooby Doo about made me crap my pants I was laughing so hard. (And that's probably by far the most messed up episode they ever made. Comparing Fred to Ted Bundy, Velma to Valerie Solanas, Shaggy as David Berkowitz and Daphne as Patty Hearst was just plain over the top.)

Oh, definitely!

Last night's episode was kind of lame, though.

Bert and Ernie? No no, weren't you paying attention? I don't know about Bert, but for Ernie, Rubber Ducky is the one!

There was a time when I would have supported and voted for gay marriage. I'm so damn sick of hearing about it and reading ridiculous crap like this, that if gay marriage showed up on the ballot tomorrow, I'd probably just abstain from voting, altogether.
Quoting Frank_W, but the following comment is directed generically at people who share that same sentiment (i.e., it's not personal) --

That's a cop out. One does not shut oneself out from supporting what's right just because some one else complains about it louder than one would like them to.

What's next? Would you stop supporting Israel because some Jews make too much noise about being persecuted over the centuries? Would you stop supporting equal rights because some women speak too loudly about unequal pay? Would you stop supporting civil rights because some black pastor gave one sermon too many about the ills of racism? Would you stop supporting reducing the size of the federal government because the Tea Partiers held one rally too many in your neighborhood? Would you stop supporting the veterans because the VFW makes one solicitation phone call too many to you?

The right answer is NO.

You support a cause because you think it's right. To stop supporting a right cause because some one else makes too much noise about it is to surrender your moral stance to the cries of the mob -- a cop out.
Don't care.
Would you stop supporting the repeal of the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act or something like that) if a few p2p file sharers do one free music march on WoW too many?

Ax, do what you feel is right. That's your prerogative. As for your tedious moralizing, I may just print your post out, if I can find paper that's "squeezably soft and absorbent." (Especially if I can get it to feed straight from the roll and through my printer!) w00t!!!

Aqua, you didn't get Peanuts because you were trying to read it as a kid. Charlie Brown was really a cartoon for adults, just told through children. And much of it was time-specific. Even an adult reading many of the older strips, removed thirty of forty years from the historical, and often social, events that originally made them relevant when first drawn, will sometimes scratch their heads and say, "Huh?"
