If you have kids, you’ve probably read “The Very Hungry Caterpillar “.

[The Sybian]

I watched the first episode of Breeders last night (thanks to the discussion here) and the daughter was reading that book.

If you have kids, you’ve probably read “The Very Hungry Caterpillar “.

When my youngest was very small we read that book to her. When she could talk she "read" it to us. Of course, she was reciting what we said but it was still neat.

ETA: I'm not crying, ive just been cutting onions. I'm making a lasagna. For not my kid 800 miles away.

And to be honest Eric Carle was more deserving of his own thread than Grodin and i liked grodin. But yah, not exactly Dr Suess or anything. Just personal attachment.

[Pruitt]

His books were a favourite around here.

Starting to think it's not safe to ride a bicycle in Utah, especially for Swampers and former pro basketball players.

Gavin MacLeod, Ithaca College's most famous graduate.

He had a good run there in the 60s and 70s, from being a regular on McHale's Navy to being a regular on The Mary Tyler Moore Show to being the captain of The Love Boat.

And a great villain on the old 5-0

I’ve been watching MTM and The Love Boat lately so this one stings.

[Johnny Carwash]

B.J. Thomas of "Hooked on a Feeling" fame.

[sancarlos]

Strange headline. He wasn’t even the first to have a hit with that song, and I think he was much more famous for “Raindrops keep falling on my head”, which was the featured song in “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid”.

"Hooked on a Feeling" is a 1968 pop song written by Mark James and originally performed by B.J. Thomas.

Apropos of nothing, anyone who likes the Ooka-Chaka version of the song better, that's a sign that they're not my kind of person.

Is that where the hits just keep on...trucking?

[sancarlos]

I didn't say that I preferred the Oooka-Chucka Ooka Chucka version, but I do think that song is more associated with the band that did that version than with B.J. Thomas.

[Pruitt]

My father had this album on 8-track. It that got a lot of play in the car and this song will occasionally pop into my head after all these years.

So is that an example of a Another Somebody Done Somebody's Song Wrong?

Mike Marshall, first reliever to win a Cy, 78. Bronto's article linked above. Did he and Rollie start the awesome reliever facial hair trend?

[sancarlos]

Marshall was also a featured, interesting character in Jim Bouton's Ball Four book.

Don't forget the same era's Mad Hungarian, Al Hraboski.

He was an Expos legend - that trade for Willie Davis was ridiculous.
