One of my first posts here offered up a scavenger hunt of children's video clips and no one found the few that I desired to win the hunt.
Jenn did send in a few that were definately a trip down memory lane but no one had found Catpain Bob Cottle or the Martian who ate fruit instead of candy.
Yesterday I recieved an e-mail from someone who had the required 'finds' and then some.
Here is the Alien who finds a replacement for candy bars:
Yes, I am pissed over the embedded code but who the hell am I? The friggin' YouTube Nazi?!?!?!?
You must go watch, you need to go watch; you will do what you will. You really should go watch.
And here is a nice little snippet from the Boston Aquarium. Every child I knew growing up (and to this day) quoted "I can walk like a penguin". Watch:
I am going to Boston for Christmas with my daughter and we will both be going to the Aquarium. That place and that commercial changed my life so many times growing up. I know every square inch of it's halls by heart.
I miss home.
So this leaves me with the casting call, the curtain call, the call to arms.

Thank you so very much for coming by and for taking the time to read and comment. It is greatly appreciated!
When I started this 'bloggy' blog I wrote a childrens entertainment post and after so many months and posts and words and clips, someone rose to the challenge and found some of the clips that I was looking for. It was a pleasant e-mail surprise!
I have not written much on any of my three blogs lately but I am still trying to update my short stories at least once a month on 'young broke and republican' and update my poetry as often as it occurs to me at 'verses of a modern day madman'. This blog gets updated weekly and I try to get more in than even that. To think that at one time I was writing at least five posts a week!
Cest la vie!
Thank you again for coming by and I look forward to your comments in the future.
The 'I can walk like a penguin' line has been part of most Boston children of the 70's and early 80's forever. It most certainly left an indelible mark on most New England children's brains.
I hope that you also enjoyed the martian clip that did not have an embed code as it is also a huge part of Bostonian culture directed at my generation.
