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

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

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.

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.

His books were a favourite around here.

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.

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

Posted: **Sat May 29, 2021 7:27 pm**

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”.

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?

Posted: **Sat May 29, 2021 11:32 pm**

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.

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.
