Pingo Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) The Muppets were so very, very un-PC back in the day. I think their inane bland sweetness is contributing to a generation of hypersensitive, thin skinned, humourless wimps. Dealing with offence, conflict and outrageous human foibles are all core skills for life. I understand there is a DVD of early Sesame Street material. I understand it carries a warning that it must not be shown to children. EDIT: My children learned the words "prefabricated homunculus" at an early age because of my reaction to Elmo.

Reaperbryan Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 first the not work related question: "Sweet or Dill pickles?" I personally can't stand sweet pickles, vinegar and cheese are not supposed to be sweet (if you haven't figured it out I am not fond of cheesecake either, except for the photos) and now the semi work related one: can this thread be pinned, it is one of the most amusing I've found and it gets kind of hard to find it among the others when no one has posted in a while? 1) Both, but only sweet pickles as the baby gherkins or in B&B chips. Otherwise, Kosher Dill. Actually, I generally prefer Kosher versions of foods, with the exception of Kosher Hot Dogs, which I find lacking in every respect. 2) I could, but I like seeing how near the top it is after I miss a few days of being able to log on. My children learned the words "prefabricated homunculus" at an early age because of my reaction to Elmo. Pingo, I saw the above phrase in my Facebook Feed long before I saw this post. Now I have context. Thank You. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reaperbryan Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 One of my friends quoted that phrase on their Facebook. No context, just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Froggy the Great Posted December 30, 2013 Moderator Share Posted December 30, 2013 That was me.... Bryan, prefab or scratchbuilt homonculi? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaperbryan Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 My scratch built homunculi are always less impressive than yours, Froggy, but I have an even mix of both. The prefabricated ones have a certain charm, and certainly take less effort, even if they tend to die faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaekiasDracon Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 what are your thoughts on the Edison vs Tesla debate? (I am, of course, referring to Nikola Tesla and not the car company from Texas. Although it would be interesting to see a model S go up against Thomas Edison, in theory at least.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's try to keep this out of Beekeepers'. Just sayin'... that particular question can get... heated... responses. :) -Dave Edit to add 2nd smiley; in the hopes no one is actually offended.

I understand it carries a warning that it must not be shown to children. As I understand it, this is also why a huge number of the old Looney Tuns shorts never see air anymore. Too un-PC. Too much drinking and smoking, etc. Bryan, do you have a favorite animated short? Edited January 2, 2014 by klarg1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: My children learned the words "prefabricated homunculus" at an early age because of my reaction to Elmo. the funny thing about that Sesame Street Dvd is that although it was clearly labled "NOT for Children" (caps from the original sticker) we stocked it in the children's/family section when I worked for a certain bullseye logo'ed big box chain store. (This was four years ago, I am not responsible for the data breach.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which, other than Reaper, was your favorite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
