Had to - Nook forced it. Now if the e-books community will give me *some* assurance that they can't "take it back" or "alter it" without my knowing, maybe I'll buy a NOOK.

And Fred - he was more interesting as an actor ;>

Mind you, backwards and in high heels is a good argument - but Eleanor Powell is FAR more interesting in that regard - and could tap with Fred all night. He spoke of her as the Best Partner he'd ever danced with - and that's no small compliment. Bonus: BOTH of them danced backwards - tho only Eleanor was in heels!

Even better - you want Backwards and in High Heels? How about "And Tapping too!"

"Mo" is a slang term for homosexual? I guess it could be...

Really, even as a child (I'm an older Gen-Xer, raised on Sesame Street) we kind of understood that Bert and Ernie were uncommonly good friends. I didn't have much understanding of hetero relationships either at age four, but I recall thinking that B&E weren't any different from my mom and dad, except my mom wore a nightgown instead of flannels.

Funny - raised on The OddCouple (and in the San Fran Bay Area), they struck me as just roomies/friends. It never crossed my mind that they were anything else. Given the number of various "couples" and "friends" I grew up around, I've never understood why everyone assumed they were any specific flavor :>. I was 9 or 10 when I first saw it - so 5th gradish - that might have made for a different reaction from either 4 or teenager :>.
