Amazing how all these people know of the "purple beastie", to steal someone's
phrase.

Come on some one tell those of us who don't live in America what the hell
Barney the Dinosaur is, apart from being purple.

Well, Phill, what he is is pure, unadulterated evil. OK, you've heard
of Sesame Street? Same vein but dumber by orders of magnitude. He sings
these sappy, inane little songs, corrupting the minds of innocent children
and innocent children's minds [The latter IS different from the former as
the latter is nt limited to children =)]. Kill him when possible. I'm still
wondering how all these people know about all of this old stuff...

Well Jerricho, the reason we all remember this so well is because Barney was
one of the great evils... we have been warned by our parents/grandparents
about this great scourge, and we have placed ourselves on guard against his
despicable acts.

How about evil? Asinine? Stupid? Drivel? Sappiness?
Imagine a 6 foot purple and green plush t-rex that not
only is not a meat eater, but teaches children how to be
have, have good manners, et drekking cetra. If you ever see
it, take it in small doses, lest you find yourself to be
diabetic. Even more insipid, he has a baby sister and brother
on the show. And my 4 year old neice loves them. Great way
to baby sit. Pop the tape into the VCR and they sit there
as if in a trance. *gah*

I don't know when it would be on elsewhere but I just watched a quite
amusing little sketch on SNL, here in Denver, NBC affiliate, I believe,
the Sports Extra at any rate, where they drag out all the old shows. I
just thought this needed to bew said and be amused by. =)
