Does Brown care about women's hockey?

Ah the memories...I have to confess I was actually on Romper Room with Miss Betty :o ! Until today I didn't realize it wasn't a local TV show up here but franchised around the world.

The words to the exercise song were: Bend and stretch, reach for the stars, there goes Jupiter, here comes Mars. Bend and stretch, reach for the sky, up on tippy toes, way up high.

Can't say I remember the cardboard cars though.

Thanks for the Jupiter lesson! I remember the tune! I also remember the cardboard cars. The kids would step into them and hold them up around themselves and walk around.

That would be BoomTown, and my uncle was on it a couple of times when he worked for Quaker Oats. Funny - I was just talking about that the other day!

Yep but based on earlier reports, not everyone was coordinated enough to handle this task :p

BTW...Having grown up in a Non-English environment, none of this stuff rings a bell with me. My memories of classics as a youngster are

"Swiebertje"

"Pipo de Clown", "MamaLoe" and "Kluk Kluk"

Well, that explains a lot. :p

In Los Angeles, we had Hobo Kelly. Instead of a magic mirror, she had super big magic glasses to see her TV audience. Looking back at the photos, she was kind of scary looking. Hobo Kelly

Really Cookie ?....You think those who frequently have conversations of a confidential nature with various coaches and recruiters would divulge that kind of information with vendetta inspired gossipers like you ?. Fat Chance.

I would think that people with confidential information would not be posting ANY references at all to an actual situation on any forum that resorts to romper room diatribes when they have nothing credible to offer. If you are suggesting that Hux is posting information relative to an actual occurrence, then I suggest that Hux's credibility is now compromised. That would be a shame given his/her lengthy history of social engagement on this forum. Now, assuming that what he posted is accurate, I'd love to hear how the student or students respond - or maybe even a lurking parent of such student.

Hux is an honorable man, hence his polite, subtle reference to what you and the rest of the disgruntled as parents should have asked Digit about before accusing her of arbitrarily dumping star players. From my limited knowledge of Digit, she does not seem to be the type who hides what she is thinking, so I am puzzled as to why you all don't ask. And personally, I've asked several other coaches about why specific individuals have left their program and they will tell me upfront the nature of the situation, including things far more sensitive than what Hux alluded to.

Please save your feigned shock :eek: for an appreciative audience.

BTW, I'd rather discuss Hobo Kelley (I grew up watching her too on KCOP) than discuss poorly-researched coach bashing.

Haven't you all figured out that the overwhelming majority of posters here and on that other Brown thread where we are dicussing squel movies are giving you a subtle hint that your whining is being ignored?

You don't have an audience for your poison. Please find something else to discuss.

Hobo Kelly was a great show. Cartoons, prizes, and she seemed to see us out in our living rooms. Do you also remember the RIF program in LA? I seem to remember mobile libraries going around in my neighborhood that kids could check out books for two weeks.

The Book Mobiles were way cool. Those that frequented our neck of the woods actually sold books. Better than an ice cream truck, especially since there was no annoying loop of The Sting or other early 70s hit music.

I lived about 3/4 of a mile from a public library, so we didn't get the mobile library in my neighborhood. I do remember hearing about RIF though.

And I was quite saddened when my other favorite TV personality from that part of childhood, Soupy Sales, passed away recently.

You are right the RIF mobiles gave books away and the library had the mobile library vans where we could check out books.

Re: Does Brown care about women's hockey?

I gotta admit Romper Room was actually pretty lame.

My personal fav as a lil tyke was actually The Friendly Giant. Every day he'd let down the drawbridge to the castle and put the little chairs in place for everyone to sit in by the fire...including the special one where two could "curn" up in (as I apparently liked to say, instead of curl). :D Nothing beat good old Rusty (yep, believe it or not actually a rooster who lived in a sack on the wall) :rolleyes: , and his friend Jerome The Giraffe :p --as main characters.

And at the end of every episode, it was so terribly sad when the little chairs would have to be put away, and the drawbridge would be raised back up, with the slow haunting musical theme of the show playing in the background to bring the dramatic intensity to a crescendo. ;)

Actually I guess that one was actually really lame too :D
 
Re: Does Brown care about women's hockey?

Ahhhh the flashbacks.....

Remember how Charlie Brown had this amazing crush on the little red-haired girl, but you never got to actually see her?

Yeah, that's right, somehow I remember having a crush on her too!

Always looked forward to the day that the book mobile came around. Rather unique vehicles. They seemed "purpose-built".

While I enjoyed Romper Room, I was never much for Soupy Sales.
