1. wow.

[Radio_Lady]

10. That's funny! Just the fact that the two names have the same number of letters!

BARACK OBAMA
MICKEY MOUSE

It's a coincidence -- but a neat one! However, I am afraid that with Obama's ears, someone may get a negative illustration to go with it. You can imagine what that would look like. Oddly enough, there are also some whispers about Obama being depicted as a chimpanzee. Now that I've cut off my hair, and I have a few chin whiskers, I wonder what animal I would look like?

[ThatsMyBarack]

13. THAT is why I wrote it.

NOT, I repeat, NOT to make fun of Obama's big ears. I swear that never crossed my mind!

14. Former TV host of kids' show here... I loved it. No need to apologize.

My first job -- "Popeye Playhouse" at WTVJ-TV, Channel 4, Miami (1957-1958)

19. When I was a sprout here in the Twin Cities

we had a similar show called "Axel and his Dawg" and one of his sidekicks was Carmen the Nurse. You looked quite like Carmen (but even more like Mitzi Gaynor) from back in the day. Axel (Clellan Card) was the stereotypical Norske, with the broad accent, an array of jokes that were painful to all but seven year old minds and Three Stooges videos instead of Popeye cartoons - those were on a similar afternoon show, "Popeye and Pete the Penguin."

20. The history of children's show hosts nationwide is covered in a book.

It's "Hi There Boys and Girls" written by Tim Hollis and published by the University of Mississippi press.
Excellent work by the author.

I interviewed him about two years ago on Oregon Public Broadcasting. He was a wonderful guest. I had posts from many here, and used them to get the background in many markets. I had retrieved a great deal of information from DUers and their memories. Hope this link works:

If not, please Google - Hi There Boys and Girls book - and I am sure you'll find it there.

Peace, love and happiness -- our sign-off on the Popeye Playhouse.

16. OT: Have any of you ever seen Comedy Central's randy ventriloquist Jeff Dunham?

:loveya:

He was on last night and I almost split my sides. This is one talented guy with fabulous characters. He's much better than either Edgar Bergen (D) or Paul Winchell (D). (The Ds are for "dead" not Democrat!!!!)

Click through for some of his humor:

Big thumbs up for all the characters: :thumbsup:

7. I'm not sure it's the greatest idea to reference Mickey Mouse...

for the campaign to elect Barack Obama the 44th President of the United States. Even in a song parody. Just my .02
