RIP Doc Baker

Here is really the only obituary I need to read.

I had a feeling you'd appreciate this, Sheila. Writing this post reminded me that I'm just a wealth of useless information when it comes to Little House on the Prairie. Like, I could talk FOR HOURS about the creepy episode about Sylvie who was raped by the blacksmith. I think this definitely calls for a whole new post (or even a series of them) on my psychotic, photographic memory of all things Little House. Stay tuned.

Just1Beth, I think I need to have drinks with Betsy. I imagine that we'd close down the bar with discussions ranging from how the hen-pecked Nels nearly cheated on Harriett with that woman with the fake Irish accent who ran a B&B to the hot blind guy who hoisted Albert into the end zone to score the winning touchdown.

Ask me what I had for breakfast today and I'll be stumped. Ask me about the saga of James and Cassandra and I can speak at length. I'm sick.

curly - Betsy sent me her stream-of-conscious thoughts when re-watching the final episode of Little house.

Read it and LAUGH.

I've read that before! But I just read it again and it still makes me wheeze. And I just LOVE the idea of you wearing a bonnet to school. HA HA!

Oh my goodness!!! I did not know! I'll have to go turn on channel 47 and reflect upon this man's impact on my life....

Okay - I just read Curly's obit - that was crazy and hysterical - I'm up for that drink and Little House conversation anytime!

Posted by: Betsy at July 12, 2005 9:22 PM

hahahahahaha

all those crazy awful childbirth scenes!!

and yes - the episode with the raping blacksmith ... it's emblazoned in my mind!!

Awesome, Betsy! I look forward to lots o' booze and highly detailed episode recaps.

Sheila, I'm STILL giggling over the fact that someone quoted "Bringing in the Sheaves" in the comments on Betsy's post. If I may quote my mother: "N'erth! Don't they know any other songs?"

curly - I KNOW. hahahahaha

I also like Betsy's comment about her daughter not really wanting to read the books - but if they were called "Little Crib in the Hood" maybe her daughter would check them out.

hahahahahaha
