The Muppet Show was one of my favorite shows when I was little. And, strangely enough, my Dad loved it as well. He would be as excited as I was (if not more so) when it came on.

So, it gave me great joy to see that the FAO Schwartz “WhatNot Workshop” went back online two weeks ago.

What’s a WhatNot? Quoting the website:

Whatnots are those zany-looking extras you see in all the Muppet productions. Wacky! Fun! Totally unique!

The only thing that tempers my enthusiasm is the $129.00 price tag.

I wish they sold Ralph the Dog. Or Sam the Eagle. Hell, I’d even settle for Fozzie.

Wakka wakka.

WPXI Severe Weather

Given the incredibly high rate of Pittsburgh weather-related fatalities, this is a sorely needed public service.

I’d be much more entertained by “Night Driving Safety Tips Week with Keith Jones” or “Narcolepsy Week with Stacy Smith”.

God, I missed Pittsburgh.

I saw the promo for this interview to air tomorrow on KDKA and had a thought…

Wouldn’t it be the ultimate Burgh celebrity couple if Sidney and Sonni got together. Hell, their names are even good together!

You gotta wonder if it goes through his mind during the interview…

“Gotta put the biscuit in the basket… biscuit in the basket.”
