Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly Kill-this-Thread III:The Thread That Would Not Die

I've seen several calico cats named Callie. Yours?

how unimaginative

Well, normally you'd smell her long before you saw her. I wonder if that qualifies her for the Morrison/Johns new version of the Super Pets.

If one were to so name one's calico, one should use the proper Legion World spelling, Cali.

But-- we're from Or, not Cali. Actually, Callie may be from Wa. We're still trying to locate her real father subsequent to his mysterious departure from Durla.

I was referring not to California, but our beloved Caliente, who does come from California. Of course, in heraldry, "Or" means gold.

Oh, and thank space we're finally on a page where the proportions are right again!

I've seen her avatar, but we've never been introduced. Also I was out of cookies and too lazy to brush my hair.

She's been around a bit lately, though she's been less active in recent months than she has been. She's fabulous. Like you, she is also an actual woman, of whom there are relatively few around here.

Then I should probably brush my teeth, too.

That sounds like a good idea regardless of who is around.

Let's hear it for the toothbrush!

Yay, Toothbrush!

What Is the Right Way to Brush?
Proper brushing takes at least two minutes — that's right, 120 seconds! Most adults do not come close to brushing that long. To get a feel for the time involved, try using a stopwatch. To properly brush your teeth, use short, gentle strokes, paying extra attention to the gumline, hard-to-reach back teeth and areas around fillings, crowns or other restoration. Concentrate on thoroughly cleaning each section as follows:


Clean the outer surfaces of your upper teeth, then your lower teeth
Clean the inner surfaces of your upper teeth, then your lower teeth
Clean the chewing surfaces
For fresher breath, be sure to brush your tongue, too

My dentist also recommended using up-and-down strokes instead of side-to-side strokes. The latter, he said, just moves the dirt around instead of getting rid of it.

Does anyone else remember "The Toothbrush Family" that was on during Captain Kangaroo in the '70s?

I remember Mr. Green Jeans...

I knew Mr. Green Jeans. Mr. Green Jeans was my friends. You, sir, are no Mr. Green Jeans.

That silly Mr. Moose!

Actually, Mr. Moose had one of the funniest lines ever said on TV. Bunny Rabbit had won some contest or something and he could have had all sorts of cool stuff, but he refused because it would have meant leaving the Captain's Place. As he and Mr. Moose went down into the hutch, Mr. Moose said, "And we could have had a real swimming pool! With real water, instead of this stuff we use now!"

Thirty-some years later I still find that hilarious.

Oh, yeah. And who could forget the wrought-up anti-Minimalism critique (in disguise) from Sesame Street ?

Ernie [holds up a sheet of white paper]: Okay, Bert. Guess what this is a picture of ?

Bert: Don't be silly, Ernie. The page is absolutely blank.

Ernie: Bert, this is a picture of a cow eating grass.

Bert: I don't see any grass.

Ernie: Of course you don't. The cow ate it.

Bert: I don't see any cow !

Ernie: Well, after she ate the grass, she went home !

Bert: [rolls eyes] Of course. She went home.

Ernie and Bert together: "Why should she stick around?"

Oscar: "So we can eat the damn cow, that's why!"

Ernie and Bert: PBS's first gay couple!

Does that make Mr. Snuffleupagus an imaginary lover?

No, because he and Big Bird were just good friends.
