My 5 year old boy goes through a new box every few weeks. Colors every evening.

To be serious for a moment, and I'm not kidding you, that 3:10 was awesome. I literally cried. Ya, I'm a bitch, whatever. Not sure why, but man that just gave me a flood of memories of my childhood and all of the amazing things that I got to do and see. I actually thought about how sad it is that my daughters will never have someone like Mr. Rogers to watch and learn from. Instead, they have Yo Gaba Gaba and Dora the friggin Explorer. Gone are the days of Mr. Wizard, Mr. Rogers, Bill Nye the Science Guy, Sesame Street, and The Safety Kids. /long dramatic sigh (I actually just did this)

Totally agree Trout - I don't have kids yet, but when I do I am going to be streaming many of the shows from my and my parents generation. The old black and whites I used to watch during Nick at Night, GI Joe, Johnny Quest, Mr. Rogers, etc.

Speaking of Mr. Rogers, you should google the video of his Emmy acceptance speech. He was the real deal.

When will Kentuckians learn that crayons aren't food?

It may say macaroni and cheese, but that doesn't mean it edible. Stop feeding them to your family PKM. You may eventually get brain cancer and start liking UK basketb....... wait, it's too late.

Suggesting brain cancer upon my 5yr old boy is not cool, bro. Not cool at all.

I hope your family is safe and well.

Well with this information you can stop it. Your welcome.

I get this feeling you're anxious that I'm moving in on your trout-turf.

Meh--he doesn't trim it very often.

Troust-turf, it's what's for your dinner?

An apology would also suffice (presuming you haven't via rep already)

Thanks Dala .. but Cyrone knows I'm just jabbing, no apology is ever necessary with me. I enjoy the posters that can take it and dish it out. I'm never serious when I'm giving anyone **** .. sometimes they know that, sometimes they take it too seriously. Cy is one that generlly knows the game.

I love Cyrone just as much as the next guy, but its sort of an insensitive remark to make when one of the posters here is having his heart torn out as he watches his kid fighting the disease.

Everyone has probably had family members go through cancer. I know I have. A joke about eating crayons that cause brain cancer that forces you to like UK basketball isn't that serious. Lighten up.

We will have to agree to disagree.
