Linkety Dinkety Doo: Punchlines Edition

I couldn't decide whether to list this column about George Carlin first or last, just that I wanted other people to read it. It's by Jerry Seinfeld, a quick read that's the concise kind of lyricism I strive for as a blogger and writer and comic to an audience of one (sometimes one-plus-kid in a booster seat). You don't have to click any other link below, but do read this one.

Who knew? I'm listed here as a favorite motherhood blog. Well, to be honest, I'm not listed as a blog, Sassafrass is listed as a blog. Sometimes, though, it's hard to tell the difference, isn't it?

Lil E loves this show. It freaks me out. I just do not get why animals from Australia who talk, politic and watch TV are so compelling to a preschooler.  But then I also do not get Dragon Tales, Caillou or (shudder) Scooby Doo and the kid's crazy about those too.  Shouldn't animals on kiddie TV be reporting about fake Olympics or putting steaks on their black eyes,  not manipulating their way into being mayor of some Earth core jungle village? What is going on in the world?

Maybe I shouldn't go on too much. Rob & Big still makes me laugh out loud on a regular basis. No animals running for office, but plenty of goofery all it's own and just enough dorm-room entertainment to keep me preoccupied until (oh now I'm just shameful) The Hills returns.

Hey, what preschooler doesn't like computer animated animals that talk? My kids are totally fascinated by anything on PBS, but especially Curious George. I like Dragon Tales myself - the idea of the big sister and the little brother dreaming up these adventures in this whole imaginative world that they "go" to together when they're bored is just really, really sweet.
