Live Journal was a major pain in the butt for me today, too. Did it keep telling you that you had invalid HTML codes even though you were using LJ's very own editor? Did it keep scrambling everything up? But hey, at least you got Photobucket to work. It's still on the fritz for me :/

Your stores (and their names) are hilarious. You make running a business look almost, almost fun.

I know I was one of the people who voted for red headed babies, so I am glad that I got my wish, even though it was sad for Grover.

I actually laughed out loud at the "my pet worm, Slimey" line.

Lolly's hair bow! That's like the best thing I have ever seen!

Man, I have talked to people who don't even remember that Mister Snuffleupagus originally started out as Big Bird's "Imaginary friend." It makes me feel old.

I liked Elmo when he originally came around. Then after the "Tickle Me Elmo" craze hit he just became obnoxious. I'd probably drown him because seeing his red, furry corpse floating face down in a pool amuses me.

Yes, that's exactly what happened. Garbage HTML that I did not add, markup errors where there were none, and so forth. Hooray. :-|

It's better to be old, because we saw Sesame Street B.E. (Before Elmo), back when men were men and muppets didn't talk about themselves in the third person like Bob Dole, and... you kids GET OFF MY LAWN.

I love this update so much!

Yay for the LaBrahs getting a bigger house! Lolly definitely looks gorgeous in that new makeover. Her teen dress also makes her stunning.

The pharmacy is totally awesome, what with love potions and Renu-yu potions being sold. I like how you've managed to beat the gypsy matchmaker in the process.

Awww... It's so nice to see Lolly meeting her long lost half-sister! That was a very sweet moment.

The love triangle between Candy, Kermit, and Rufus resulting from Licorice's birth was very intriguing, but I'm glad the outcome worked well in the end. Oh, and Licorice is really adorable. :D

For Elmo becoming a sim, I'd say I'll kill him by trapping him in a small room with fire jets because it probably isn't much of a hassle.

I'm glad you liked it.

I like the idea of Elmo on fire, but I think I'd probably drop a satellite on him too, just for added impact.

YAY! I was so glad to see this when I got online this morning. (7 hours ago now... >_> )

Blah, I hate you for making me want to run more businesses. Now I REALLY want to try a BACC at some point. But rejoice, because now I love you for giving me something new to look forward to! :D

Dear lord I snorted coffee into my sinus when I first read that Slimey the Worm bit. Oh Oscar.

Lolly. Lolly Lolly Lolly. Her dress is really, very positively, absolutely appropriately (and perfectly) feminine. Perhaps even obnoxiously so.

My favorite character was always Grover, though he's not retired is he? It's been a very long time since I saw Sesame Street! D: And I do remember when Snuffy was still Big Bird's imaginary friend! It used to annoy the snot out of me that something that huge could go unnoticed by so many adults for so long! I used to also wonder if the guy in the back of the suit ever got tired of the Front Guy's butt in his face all day.

Hilariously awesome update. :D Charmingly so. Sincerely.

I never heard that song before. How cute! None of those Schoolhouse Rock things were on TV in my area when I was a kid. :(

According to the internet, they made Snuffy visible because some child psychologists contacted the show and told them they were worried that little kids would see that the adults didn't believe Big Bird, and it would make them not want to tell an adult if they were being abused. D: So they changed it! :D

(I always loved Oscar the best. Can you tell?)

OMG you poor deprived child. I looked forward to School House Rock on Saturday mornings the way I looked forward to seeing How The Grinch Stole Christmas in December, and any of the Peanuts specials they showed only once a year. Back before 24 hr cartoon channels and DVDs. e__e *adjusts bifocals and hoists up Depends*

Okay, I'm back (went home sick, like half the office already did). This was so, so funny. I feel bad for Kermit, but evidently he just really wants a single smokin' hot girlfriend who holds it all just for him. Poor guy. I'm glad they didn't have a big fight during the breakup, though. Both of them seem to have taken it well.

I love Lolly and her outfit. She looks like she's about to go on stage with a giant lollypop. There's another pun for you for next time! You're welcome!

Great pictures and icky Muppet/Sesame Street references. You da bomb!

They were bound to have a big fight someday, so I just thought it was best to head it off early. Er, I mean KERMIT thought it would be best.

I MAY possibly have lollipop-related plans for Lolly. Maybe. >_>

Fun fact: Right now, I have the same hairstyle as Rufus! And it's a darker red, but still red!

On one hand, I am sad for Grover, but on the other hand, if he's looking for his One And Only, he should be with someone who feels the same.

Do you have the Smarter Cashier hack? Makes the register badge much less of a pain, and all it really does is fixes what EA broke (Logical Sims should learn to use the register faster, but they don't).

I think I'd lock Elmo in a room with a pizza, a toilet, a cheap chair, and a TV. Death by Disease. Days and days of suffering.

I do have Smarter Cashier, and that is Smarter Betsy. o_o That hack is almost too good, but when you run this many businesses, it's kind of necessary.

I like the Poison-Me Elmo idea. But I wouldn't give him the TV. Too much chance that I'd have to hear him laughing.

If Betsy doesn't have high Logic, the hack wouldn't do much. I wish I'd known about Cyjon's Faster Restocking badge hack, because that one also seems like it takes waaaay too long for a Sim with 8-9 skill points in everything.

If you give them a TV, they won't whine about being bored. They'll sit on the cheapo chair forever, totally ignoring their other motives.
