I went to college with Meat Loaf’s daughter.

There are few shows I miss more from my childhood than Phil Donahue. It was thoughtful and intelligent (I learned the word “constabulary” from that show) and Donahue was the best at what he did. In addition to the studio audience, Donahue took live (live!) phone calls from viewers at home (“Caller, are you there?”)…

You must be in the GTA. A similar acknowledgement is said at the beginning of the school day at my kids’ schools and at the beginning of my church service at First Unitarian of Toronto. 

Oh, those Looney Tunes parodies! Bugs Bunny cartoons are actually a pretty great source of pre-war pop culture references and even helped me out with random catchphrases my grandparents used to say devoid of context.  And “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn” is a fabulous book that holds up today. 

I was curious about the “Supersizers Go...” series and they appear to all be on the YouTubes. It’s similar to a CBC show that aired this spring, “Back in Time for Dinner” which had a single family “live” in a different decade (1940s - 1990s) for a week at a time.

Awww, Chi. My youngest loved that series. He has a Chi t-shirt and everything. He sobbed when we got to the last book. 

If I may humbly add:

As someone who is both very French and born and raised in Maine, I assure you there is no Jumping Frenchman of Maine disease. That’s an outdated and  racist term. It’s more properly known as Leaping Scots of New Hampshire.

We were supposed to save the top layer of the cake? We ate ours throughout our honeymoon. Lemon cake, too. Mmmm.

Well, I hate dog_rates because they put their own watermark on the pics they did not take...so no one else on the internet can then publish them...as pics they did take.

Man, oh man. Two things:

I was surprised to hear this, since Spacey’s name was very much kept in the Canadian airing. It actually made the dialogue a tiny bit more interesting.

OK, I starred something. I didn’t successfully claim my account, because I’m an idiot.
