Oh yah, Nature's cruel ... ha! Maybe that's why human beings have been so cruel, being as we are at the top of the food chain. Another story for another time...
Saturday 9
This fun meme is on the button on the side bar. Come and join in with us. Easy and fun! Music involved, too!
Rubber Ducky
Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!Saturday 9: Rubber Ducky (1970)
Unfamiliar with this week's tune?
Hear it here.
1) This song is sung by Muppet Ernie. Who's your favorite Muppet?
I like Animal! He makes me laugh!
2) Ernie became famous on PBS's Sesame Street. What public television shows do you watch?
I still like to watch Masterpiece Theater and Nature.
3) When you were a little kid, what was your favorite TV show?
The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show.
4) On Sesame Street, Ernie frequently teases his best friend Bert by stealing his nose. Do you enjoy practical jokes?
Mr.Z's family likes them, and I'm a spoil sport who doesn't like them. Most of the time practical jokes just seem like a cruel thing to do. I doubt I'll ever change my opinion of them.
5) Sesame Street creators developed carefree Ernie and serious Bert to show children that different types of people can be good friends. Think about your closest friend. Tell us how you two differ.
I've never gotten a close friend since most of them have moved away or gone away for good. I sort of miss that closeness but haven't found it anywhere but in my DH.
6) Bert and Ernie share a basement apartment on Sesame Street. Tell us about the basement of the building you're in right now. We don't have a basement and don't even have an attic. I wish we had both!
7) Ernie and Bert were created by Jim Henson. In addition to being an accomplished puppeteer, Mr. Henson was also a talented cartoonist. Can you draw?
I love to sketch everything, draw, and oil paint. Some of this I've done so since I was a little kid. I have developed a couple of cartoon characters but never did much with them. One is Dewey, a nerd who bird watches and the other is a mouse on skates. Of the two, Dewey is the cutest.
8) Jim Henson made his first puppets himself using felt, foam rubber, string and rods -- all items that can be purchased at an arts and crafts store. When is the last time you shopped in an arts and crafts store?
It must have been at least 5 months ago. I can go shopping right in my stashes!
9) When is the last time you took a bath (as opposed to a shower)? Too long, I want my bathtub fixed. I'm tired of taking showers all the time. Fixing it isn't an easy thing. We have to make a hole in the drywall. Making a cabinet entry works but I'm afraid there will be a ton of spiders in that space. When one of those little suckers bites me, it's time for the benedryl.
Thanks so much for joining us again at Saturday: 9. As always, feel free to come back, see who has participated and comment on their posts.

I forgot about "The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show."used to watch them all the time and I found out they are on Amazon Instant Video.
ReplyDeleteOh my! Diana, I must try to find them on Amazon Instant! Thank you for the tip! I still think it's the cutest of shows. :-)
DeleteSounds like you need a plumber!
ReplyDeleteHiya CD. We do need a plumber. DH probably thinks so, too, but it was his idea to go through the inside wall. hehehe
Deletehaha, that's true with me, too--i have a lot of stashes that could be its own store! :P
ReplyDeleteHI lia. Well, there you go then; you understand this. hehe You have probably heard of SABLE -- or "Stash Accumulated Beyond Life Expectancy"? I'm living, so far, proof of it!
DeleteI only like practical jokes that aren't mean. The elaborate funny kind are ok.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, I agree with you on that, Kwizgiver. I do like them as long as the target can laugh and not from embarrassment or worse. I can't tell you how many mean spirited ones I've seen in life, and even on videos that got uploaded. Mon Dieu! A lot of the You Tube ones are pulled on cats or dogs which is sort of better than real life.
DeleteAnimal is kind of a hoot. Good choice
ReplyDeleteI love that muppet. He played the drums in one of the muppet movies, and I fell for him. Thanks for your comment, Harriet.
ReplyDeleteWe are both fans of Nature!
ReplyDeleteIndeed we are, Bud! Go, Nature! Rah!
DeleteDewey and The Mouse sound like they could have their own Saturday morning show.
ReplyDeleteSorry it took so long to respond. Something disabled embedded replies on my blog. Maybe it's global for blogger but I got tired of waiting.
ReplyDeleteTo The Gal Herself: I would love to do some cartoons with them as pals. Thanks for the encouragement! Dewey and Skatey would both love to go "live". ;-)
