This was my first time blogging on AC360. Enjoyed it! My thoughts and prayers are with the Fort Hood families. G'nite bloggers!
Oscar was always my favorite character....green was my fav, color then.
This is great! LOL! 😛
They have been doing a great job over there for 40yrs!
This is SO funny!
Jim Henson was a genius.
Oscar, Erica and Anderson... cute! 🙂
Oscar is a man ahead of his time.
Hope Nathan can get better. Having love and support from his dad could help and his mom.
Oh are you guys ever lucky - meeting Oscar! I'm as green as Oscar with envy!!
is Oscar the Grouch gonna be a regular on CNN now that Lou Dobbs is gone? LOL
@Jane-VT I totally agree with your comments & i too beleive that the Catholic church has violated so many laws (& eithics) that it should have to pay taxes!
Anderson,
That is so fun see you talk Grouncy on Sesame Street. I do love this show, I was watching them, I grew up! Nice job Anderson! Can't wait! 🙂
So do they serve moose or turkey at the Palin's on Thanksgiving?
The Hockey Temper can really melt the Ice!
That was awesome! 😛
Is Oscar the Grouch single? I like him.
Oscar is my favorite Muppet, and he's right Elmo IS annoying.
Hi Anderson, Erica, and Bloggers! and Oscar! What a pleasant Suprise! Happy Thursday.
oscar on 360. too cute!
It's great to have the Beat result at the show!
"It not good to fool 'Authority'!"
Yay!
The BEAT360! that was funny!
@ Casey Jones,
I was thinking that too when Palin said it, however, I couldn't even type!
😛
Why would Levi want to go to Sarah's house for Thanksgiving. Sounds like it would be stressful. I think he has a family that loves him.
@David, Indiana & Isabel, Brazil, i agree with both of your comments re: the Catholic.
Sarah Palin rely dodged the Thanksgiving dinner question. Sound like a politician, oh, i forgot, she was one.
Love the hockey temper tantrum.
