NEWPOSTERGUY! 266 Posted March 22, 2019 ... that the pussification of the US of A commenced with the debut of Sesame Street. we were forced ... forced!!! to watch this vile slab of incessant utopia in school (9 a.m. on channel 13 up here in NYC). i wretched ... we all did, pretty much. what a fockin' mess. the Electric Co. followed soon after, and, lo and behold, that was actually worse. this was subliminal subversiveness at it's best/worst ... a very sad reality.

vuduchile 1,940 Posted March 22, 2019 When I was in 2nd grade, a new kid named Rick Brown came to our school from a catholic school. On his first day, we were watching The Electric Company and started commenting on which characters were our favorites. After we went through them, Rick snarled " I don't like any of them. They're all stupid." Later that day, he escaped out the bathroom window and went home. He was my best friend for about 2 years. We smoked, stole stuff, went fishing, shot his bb gun, built a tree house, and played doctor with the neighborhood girls. Then we moved away and I became a jock. I'm pretty sure Rick Brown is dead or in jail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In grade school, every Monday afternoon, the catholic kids would board a bus and go to CCD and 2 hours later they would come back. all of us heathens were left back to our regular day. I remember one of my classmates tried to sneak on the bus and got in a lot of trouble(of course in the 2nd grade everything seemed like a lot of trouble). To this day, I have no clue what they did there, it is one of the greatest mysteries of my life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
