What do Jews do, Yom Kippur, 5768: Jonah and the Whale


The Story of Jonah and the Whale, circa 5768. (Features links to very fun memories if you were a child in the 1960s.)

And for George Bush to recite, yet again.

See you on the other side.

    Ha! Now I’m up to three – you, me, and a guy named Dave that I used to work with … are we the only ones who used to watch that show? I loved it.

    I can still say, ‘Davey’ just like Goliath did. Wanna hear my Goliath impression? :)

    Four. Every Sunday for reasons known only to my mother and the almighty that show was on TV. I think it was because it was the lead in to cartoons, maybe Bugs Bunny or Popeye. As for what the author wrote, claymation or even hybrid early puppet-toons (think Rankin-Bass) could be pretty scary to impressionable kids like myself. I used to get downright scared when I was five at the appearance of the abominable snowman in “Rudolph” as my mother likes to remind me in front of relatives. I went and hid in another room.

    Favorite D&G episode: Halloween when they got into trouble for soaping windows. Seems like such innocent trouble nowadays,

    Keith, you know – I think you’re right re: those puppet-toons are kind of scary, just objectively speaking. There’s something a little eerie about them.

    My hid in her mother’s apron moment was when the Wicked Witch of the East’s feet curled up underneath the house or something in the Wizard of Oz. I hated that, and the monkeys flying.

    One of the D&G’s I remember the most – the ice skating one, where someone falls through the ice, after being told not to skate there I think.

    Unique – I guess with the whole D&G website being there, there are a lot more fans than we might think!
