You did something off your to-do list (and the most important one, at that). That's an improvement over what you might have done four or six or eight months ago. Rome wasn't burnt in a day.

And hey, it's more than I got done last night.

Huh, the icon you used on that posting... zippy. Did "Rainbow" make it to the US, or did Zippy appear in some other US show?

Um. Oops. I was looking for a pic of a puppet from Wonder Shozen, a show that is to Sesame Street what Michael Jackson is to little boys. It's insane and subversive, like South Park but less toilet humor, and more insanity. I googled Wonder Showzen and got that pic, icon-sized and all. I assumed it was one of the puppets. Apparently, I was mistaken.

I'll be replacing it with another icon. Thanks for the heads up.

Yeah, I've seen an episode of Wonder Shozen one time you were at Tori's place. Looked very insane :-)

"Rainbow" was in the UK from around 1972 all the way through to 1992 and was designed to compete with the BBC's "Play School" which was very much a stereotypical BBC kiddies program (incidentally, mtv.co.uk describes Wonder Shozen as "Play School on Acid").

A few years back, the original Rainbow puppets were auctioned off: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/tv_and_radio/1359371.stm

No doubt you've found it by now (first hit from google!) but there's icons and avatars here: http://www.thedst.com/wondershowzenDT/
