Norm Crosby is at the Laughlin NV hilton ballroom, Cosby is the old goat who hates the black poor, to my knowledge I have no idea who Crosby hates, maybe hecklers or one legged prostitutes.

wow
that brings back memories. I used to get teased because I rushed home after school to watch sesame street, the electric company, mr. rogers and zoom. I didn't stop watching, I just stopped talking about it. I loved the PBS line up, then we got cable lol

Spidey was cool but Easy Reader was my man back in the day. Because he added some pimp juice to learning words.

I think the childhood crushes I had on Maria from Sesame Street and Rita Moreno from The Electric Company explain quite a lot about my dating choices...

hmmm


OK, I'd still try to holler at Maria, if I met her in real life...
