If you weren't born in the mid-1960s, it might not be possible for you to understand. But for a while, American culture was truly...different.

Example: this full-length episode of Lidsville, by Sid and Marty Kroft.


When you see Charles Nelson Reilly dressed up as Slutty Bunny, mating with Raunchy Rabbit, you'll know that you've entered an alternate reality. Nonetheless, it's safe for work - unless your boss objects to psychedelia.

Sebastian watched it with me tonight on YouTube. I don't remember seeing it before. I stared, aghast? amazed? stunned? as Sebastian laughed himself into hysteria.

A few other Sebastian notes: It has been a month or so since we gave up putting the safety gate up at the top of the stairs at night. It was time.

He went to an exhibition called "Mad Science" at our local library a few weeks ago. It was awesome! Not schticky, as I feared. The guy was funny, had some cool experiments, and really explained about science. The kids absolutely loved it, and so did the parents. I've never heard so much cheering and applause at the library - it was amazing.

Lastly, Teri bought Sebastian a new set of Superboy pajamas, complete with cape. Unlike his previous one this one isn't a proper replica of the actual Superman/Superboy costume, but Sebastian loved it anyway. Here's a photo:



I don't know if she'll see it way down here, but happy birthday, [livejournal.com profile] zarhooie! Although I'm sure you'll have one whether I wish it or not. Still, every little bit helps - right?

A tribute to staunch family values Republican Senator Larry Craig (R-Idaho) who has been caught numerous times in compromising circumstances with men but swears that he's not gay (his wife backs him up). Most recently, he "accidentally" pled guilty to misdemeanor disorderly-conduct charges stemming from his June arrest by an undercover police officer in a men's restroom at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.

I love Republican hypocrisy!

(To the tune of "O Canada")

O Larry Craig
You gay-denouncing man
True hetero love Republicans demand

So you can't go in
a bus station
and grope a plain-clothes cop

You can't suck off
teen-aged prostitutes
This sleazy behavior has to stop

The Senate must be
sodomite-free
O Senator, cops stand on guard for thee

O Larry Craig, cops stand on guard for thee!

Or perhaps it would work better as

"Congress must be
hypocrite-free"

What do you think?
