Diapers and Dentures

This blog takes a small four-month break and an ELECTION happens?! Why didn't anybody TELL me about Diapers and Dentures? Muppets and Matlock?

Did you know that The Muppets was voted second only to The Simpsons on a poll the of 100 Greatest Kids' TV Shows conducted by a British television station?

Did you also know that Worzel Gummidge beat out Sesame Street? I am really starting to wonder about this list, especially because some of the names sound suspiciously, uh.. adult-oriented:

• Bod
• H.R. Pufnstuf
• Jim'll Fix it (I bet he'll fix the TV real good)
• Bagpuss (Seriously?)

STOP DISTRACTING ME. I didn't come here to talk about TV shows. I have an announcement! Actually, two of them.

First, we are hoping to provide frequent content on this here "Web Log." It might be fun, but it's more likely to be stupid. Second, there's a lot happening outside of the virtual world, believe it or not. So log off World of Warcraft and put down that bag of Doritos, and join a Bus Project committee, meeting in Portland just about every week. For example, you could help out with SDR*. It's like DDR, but with more nerds.


*SDR is short for Same-Day Registration, an amazing idea that improves voter access and puts the shine on a participatory democracy. Seven states already have it. But combined with our extant vote-by-mail system, SDR would pretty much make Oregon the most democratic state in the country -- AWESOME.
