What’s In The Box? Is It A Cookie?
I’m a big Muppet fan and here is a great example of Jim Henson’s work on Sesame Street.
All Cookie Monster has to do is guess what’s in the box and he gets a cookie. Can’t be that hard… right?
This Is Truly Great Advertising. Seat Belts Save Lives.
We’ve been told over and over again that seat belts save lives, however not everyone uses them. This ad, without any words, is one of the best I’ve ever seen.
Cookie Monster Giving Up Cookies? I Doubt It.
Growing up, Sesame Street’s Cookie Monster was all about the cookies. He was a cookie monster after all. But now a days there is a big healthy eating push and somehow, a big blue muppet has more say in what kids eat than parents. Course that could be because the parents sit the kids in front of the TV all day.
Anyway, Matt Lauer did an interview with Cookie Monster to get all the details. Is he giving up cookies? Is he going to be the Fruit Monster? Watch and find out.
Skydiving Videos!

Today I turn 30, or 29.1.
This year, I decided to turn 29.1 instead of 30. Now, it’s not that I’m afraid of 30, but I just felt like it sounds better if I stay in my 20′s a bit longer. 
Yes, it’s true, I’m now 30. Back when I was a kid there was not internet, no cell phones, no SUVs. We had Intellivision, Garbage Pal Kids cards, and three channels on TV that you had to get up to change. These whippersnappers today have it so easy. Ha ha, there is my old man talk for the day.
Everybody’s Free (To Wear Sunscreen)
Some songs are timeless. The advice Baz Luhrmann dispenses is still good today and everyone can learn from it.
What kind of memories does this bring up for you? Or is this your first time hearing it?
SNL’s Hilarious Holiday Balls Sketch
Back in 1998, Saturday Night Live did a very funny sketch about an NPR radio show where they interviewed a guy named Pete Schweddy from a bakery called Seasons Eatings who makes delicious holiday balls.
