Indeedeth.

And the shoe had a New York accent. How awesome is that?

ok, so here is a testament to how old I am, I actually REMEMBER THIS!!! wow....talk about a kid show flashback. *feels oddly weirded out that my shoe might have something to say to me*

Yeah these are pretty awesome. Danceth to the beat I say. oh and the shoe sounds like a cross between a new yorkah from staten island and a jersey shore girl.

ps: cookie monster's legs look too thin.

pps: did you watch Reading Rainbow growing up?

You know, I actually remember this vaguely as well, but I was a strange child and doubt that I thought of it as much more than more puppetry. I seriously thought Beethoven was a just a dog for a couple of years. Meaning, I was smart, but not particularly cultured... anyway.

I did, I did, watch RR. I loved the host guy. What's his name? Is that on anymore?

Yay public television!

It is still on, and his name is Lavar Burton. They tried to cancel it a while back and I actually went to nyc to protest and have them put it back on. Yes, there really was a group of nerds who got together to save Reading Rainbow. Public television was my life growing up.

you really thought Beethoven was just a dog for a long time (btw, I really didn't like that movie, lol)? That's interesting. I remember learning how to play his music on piano when I was 4. But I didn't realize he had gone deaf til I was about 9. Always loved his hair though....But I also never saw the beach until I was 18 nor went camping for the first time until I was 25....so....at least you weren't a Fresh Air Fund kid.

I also wonder if you remember 3-2-1 Contact, Square One, or Mathman....

Yes, I remember very distinctly the point at which I found this out. I was in my first week or so at my new school in PA, after we moved from DE when I was 8. It was my first time in music class at the new school, and the teacher, after introductions, announced that I could pick what we would learn about that day. She gave me the choice between Beethoven and something else. I remember wondering just what Beethoven had to do with music class, but it sounded like fun, so I picked it/him, and the next thing I know, we were learning about some boring composer guy who went deaf and spent lots of time staring off into space (we spent a good deal of time watching a documentary type thing). Still, it was better than my music class in DE, which, when we had it, consisted of a moody lady banging on a piano and insisting, loudly, that we sing songs about friendship ( ... )
