...I'm the best me in the world....

All the Aussies can skip this entry, it will just look like gibberish

OK, so I've been knitting this scarf (from Scarf Style) that I have dubbed the 'seaweed scarf':

knit scarf
Someone made the comment over at Flickr that they had knitted the same pattern and they thought it looked a bit like intestines. Then my bro thought that maybe I could knit a whole Slim Goodbody costume. (Aint he brilliant?)

Man, I haven't thought about good ole Slim in years. I so remember him from Captain Kangaroo.

ooh, ooh, and remember Picture Pages with Bill Cosby? 'Picture Pages, Picture Pages, time to get your Picture Pages, time to get your crayons and your pencils...'.

But anywhoo, Slim is still around. He is still in the organ suit and out there doing shows. The hair is a little less, well, fluffy. But he is still teaching kids about their body and all that stuff.

Thanks bro for that little shuffle down memory lane. I'm feeling all warm and squishy now, but that might be the chocolate and beer....
