Best Version EVER.

This plays out like one of my nightmares.  But this clip really brought me back to my childhood.  I was reared on Sesame Street, Electric Company and the Sesame once-a-week spin-off, The Muppet Show.  I remember watching those shows religiously!  From school, I’d go straight home, change clothes and prepared my TV-watching snack: 5 calamansi, sliced in the center, with rock salt.  I’d sprinkle the salt on the sliced calamansi, then squeeze the salty-sour juice in my awaiting mouth.  then after I drained every last drop, I’d eat the emptied pulp pouches with some more salt.  You should try it, it’s good!  Then after the TV shows, I’d swim in our pool, pretending I was Mark Harris, the Man From Atlantis.  Sigh, it really brings me back to the days when my biggest problem, the most difficult obstacle to hurdle, was my unfinished wicker basket in Work Ed.  Life was simpler, easier, not necessarily happier, but simpler, easier.  I really loved Beaker here, and the Swedish Chef, the 2 characters who didn’t really speak.  And the monster who ate the rats.  Sigh.  Nostalgia is like rectal itch, it creeps up on you when you least expect it. *cricket, cricket…*
