I absolutely adored the Sendak segment. He is a feisty guy, a perfect foil for Stephen. I am hoping for some behind the scenes footage from that shoot. I imagine they actually had a lot of interesting things to talk about. I will definitely buy Stephen’s book and would love to know if he wrote that or was it one of his writers. It was really good. Maurice Sendak approved!
Being a cat owner, it was tough to sit there and watch the cat stew segment. I know, I know, different culture, we offend Indians who revere cows. It’s okay. I’m just glad we revere cats in this country.
Terry Gross was on to talk about Fresh Air and why she doesn’t want it to be represented by Febreze. She also had to defend her interview with Papa Bear. I didn’t know she used to be a teacher. I guess she found her calling.
QUOTABLES:
“President Obama yet again, addressed a joint session of congress. Is it me or did he just do that a year ago?”
“While the Jay Leno in chief was cracking wise, the crime rate in this country is skyrocketing. Just yesterday two peanuts were walking down the street and one was assaulted. It’s a true story!”
“Tonight I am endorsing Sen. Doody VonPoopinpants. VonPoopinpants…you can depends on him.”
“The cow jumped over the moon? That is physically impossible, because even if she made it she would burn up on re-entry.”
I am a Pole and so can You: I am a pole, that much is clear to me, but just what type of pole could I possibly be? I tried to be a pole for vaulting, but I couldn’t seem to bend. I would love to be a ski pole, but for that I’d need a friend. I wished I was the north pole and marked the home of Santa, or even just a gallop poll calling voters in Atlanta. I considered fireman’s and fishing, was a totem for some time, and even tried to be a stripper pole but I couldn’t stand the grind. But then one day in my depths of despair, some scouts brought me old glory as something to wear, and while she danced and she waved it became clear to me.
I’m the best kind of pole you can possibly be. I’m an American flag pole. Now pledge allegiance or else!
