   This was great! Do you remember the "Bloodhound Gang" too?
   
   *sings* "Whenever there's trouble, we're on the double, we're the Bloodhound Gang. If you've got the crime, we've got the time, we're the Bloodhound Gang!"
   
   They would run around and solve mysteries with math and science.

      Strangely, I don't remember them! Hmn! Sounds like it would have been fun, though.
      
      I still remember some of the songs from Schoolhouse Rock though. "Conjunction Junction" was one of my favorites.

      I am fond of "I'm just a bill, on Capital Hill."

      Ah, yes-- the poor little bill. I always rooted him on.

      Heh, probably-- yes. But at least I'm pretty sure I'm not a danger to myself or others.

      For Americans,
      
      Schoolhouse Rock was a part of our cultural history. So much so, they made Schoolhouse Rock into a live stage show that toured the country not so long ago. It was wildly popular.

      They did?! Dang, I missed that one. As a grammar afficianado, I obviously love the Schoolhouse Rock grammar videos. Interjections ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhHpJ45_zwM ) was my favorite, although I quite liked Lolly, Lolly, Lolly Get Your Adverbs Here.

   That was great! So, I suppose you must edit me often as you read? Lol!

      Hey, YOU edit you. You don't need ME to edit you. I just read.
      
      I do tend to edit things like roadsigns, marketing ads, stuff like that. I try not to dwell on it much, because I know I make mistakes all the time myself. But I do like it when words come together well.

      Luckily, since kindergarten is now first grade, I'm getting refresher courses. (My son, I'm not in kindergarten.)

      Oh, I imagine over the years you'll be getting refreshers on all sorts of stuff. I know my poor dad had to learn math all over again to help me.

   My kids (eight and six) love Schoolhouse Rock. I bought them the movies and they watch it all the time. The are constantly singing the songs (which I must admit are a little catching).

      I was wondering whether a new generation of kids would end up liking it, too. Glad to know it's getting passed on!

      The cartoons today are rubbish! At least the Schoolhouse Rock cartoons are educational (even if it means I find myself whistling the songs at work ).

      I'm not fond of the way animation, in general, is styled these days myself. PS- I bet if you whistled the Schoolhouse Rock songs at work, you'd have SOMEONE chime in-- maybe not even realizing it.

   Now I have "Lolly Lolly Lolly get your adverbs here" stuck in my head.
