A Blast from the Past, take IV

In a recent conversation with a housemate at a Halloween Party, I came to the realization that I am quite a bit older than the majority of my housemates.

Me: Clever costume, I love foxes!
PumpkinMaster Housemate: Thanks! It's all vintage and completely under $3.
Me: Great. You know, the more I look at it, the more it reminds me of the fox from Zoobilee Zoo. What's his name? Oh...Bravo! That's it! Bravo the Fox!
PumpkinMaster Housemate: (stares blankly) Uh...who's that? What's Zoobilee Zoo?

This is when I realized that yes, I must be older than dirt. This girl was a mere junior at Augsburg College, putting her birth year at roughly 1988 or 1989. Yikes! Of course she wouldn't remember such a gem of a show. How silly of me to remember and bring it up in casual convsersation at such a Halloween Party. So, to educate the masses of youngsters out there, I have included a clip. Enjoy.



Who was your favorite character? I was always a fan of the journalistic, scholarly cockateil (though she was rather annoying at second glance) and the leopard at the anchor desk.

Why am I posting again? Oh yeah, because I don't want to work on my NOVEL. Damn it. Back to work. Help.

I've been missing NCCC lately

But there's this fabulous thing called the INTERNET that can keep you in touch. I did some blog searching tonight and found this wonderful blog here:

I seriously couldn't have said what I did that year of my life better than he did. Read and enjoy.

And we'll finish you off with an AmeriCorps*NCCC team in the media:

NOTE: That team is at the FLORIDA TRAILS ASSOCIATION. (My team's FIRST project!) Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww what a trip down memory lane!

I wonder how much extra their media reps got paid!!!
