I got a rock.

Posted on October 27, 2006 by Solonor

Egad. It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown was first broadcast 40 years ago tonight.

Here’s the NPR story that reminded me of it this morning: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6388497

“You’ve heard of the fury of a woman scorned, haven’t you? Well, that’s nothing compared to the fury of a woman who has been cheated out of trick-or-treats.”

Truer words were never spoke.

    Anytime someone near me uses the phrase “I got…”, I respond with “I got a rock.” 9 times out of 10 they don’t get it. Sigh… Youth these days.

    I have this 21 year old girl working for me. Yesterday we got into a discussion about Miss Nancy and Romper Room. She never heard of it. Captain Kangaroo? Nope. Howdy Doody? Nope.

    That wasn’t as bad as the other 20-something girl that works here. First I had to explain to her who The Rolling Stones were. Later she’s listening to the Sirius, and goes “what is this ‘Help’ that they’re singing about? How retarded.”

    I asploded. The one customer in the store appreciated it, though… 🙂

    Per YahooTV listings, they are running Charlie Brown for an hour. Isn’t that like 40 minutes of commerials then?

    And I bet there will be no spooky Sarah Lee commercials either. 🙁

    (wasn’t it Sarah Lee that always sponsered CB Halloween?)
