Ok, now that I have THAT out of the way...(isn't there a "whew" clipart?).

Good luck on your job interview Babyruth!!

Is anyone humming the song now from The King and I? I don't have all the lyrics, but...

Getting to know you
Getting to know all about you.
Getting to like you
Getting to know you like me.

I think that's how it goes.

Getting to know you
putting it my way but nicely
you are precisely my cup of tea.

Getting to know you
Getting to feel free and easy
when I am with you
getting to know what to say
haven't you noticed
suddenly I'm bright and breezy
Because of all the beautiful and new
things I'm learning about you
Day by day.:)

yup--humming right along.

Beaker and Fozzie Bear are not from Sesame Street, they are from the Muppets.

Just thought I'd clear that up!

"Wocka! Wocka! Wocka!"

BUT I STILL LOVE HIM!!
beaker
NAME: Beaker
BIO/STATS: The hapless (and helpless) assistant to Muppet Labs genius Dr. Bunsen Honeydew.
APPEARANCES: First appeared in The Muppet Show.
SPECIAL TALENTS: The ability to endure extreme pain on the job, yet still come back to work the next day.
FAVORITE PERFORMANCE MOMENT: In an episode of The Muppet Show, Beaker was sucked into a cloning machine - moments later the Muppet Theater was filled with Beakers.
LIKES: Medical insurance, ambulances that respond quickly and steel toe shoes.
DISLIKES: High insurance deductibles
FAMOUS FOR: His trademark 'meep-meep' voice.
ALWAYS SAYS/DOES: See above.

I love Fozzie, too (he's my Mom's fave)
fozzie

Fozzie began his comedy career touring small clubs, where he recalls being hit by every variety of fruit and vegetable in the world. After a particularly nasty bonk on the head by an overripe cantaloupe, he decided that television would be a better (and less messy) way to make a living. As fate would have it, Kermit the Frog spotted Fozzie and asked him to join The Muppet Show.
Since getting his big break in 1976 as resident comedian on The Muppet Show, Fozzie has shared the small screen with such legendary comics as Bob Hope, George Burns, Milton Berle and Jonathan Winters. He's also performed in feature films, television specials, home videos, and on records.

Fozzie's advice to aspiring comics: "Always start with the funniest joke in your act. And if they don't like it, give 'em something funnier!"

I'm partial to "Animal" myself.

Babyruth

Wednesday, February 27, 2002 - 11:34 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Here ya go, Whosie
animal
No one knows much about Animal: what he is, where he comes from, where he goes at night. That's probably just as well. He embodies the wild, uninhibited spirit of the Muppets and makes demands in simple phrases--"Want woman!" "Eat food now!" Though some may think of him as monosyllabic, his compatriots consider him pithy.
Animal is splendidly cast as the drummer in the Electric Mayhem band. He's loud, excessive, prone to destruction, and he never fails to provide a good dance beat. But for all his unchecked passion, Animal is truly an innocent. His behavior often wreaks havoc, but he never intentionally causes harm.

Tess, WE should watch Ever After while your here!!!

I've been thinking and thinking about my favorite phrase and although it's not my favorite my hubby says I say it all the time... "I'm Sorry"... I think it goes back to that firm Catholic upbringing...
If hubby orders something at a restaurant and ends up not liking it ... "I'm sorry" Drives him nuts!!
