Carlton Fredericks loves Pringles Purina Geezer Chow It's a good thing Big Bird can't fly Last year's news item is this year's nostalgia The source of Teddy Bears - why did they name the Teddy Bear - "Teddy Bear" (Named after Theodore Roosevelt. The artform of the New Yorker is the "kvetch". New Yorkers complain about everything. The weather in New York vs the Midwest. Midwesterners take NY weather in stride while New Yorkers are closing schools. Shep tells about a bad snowstorm when he was a kid. He and Schwartz decided to make some money after a big storm. They spent hours shoveling out Mr Scott's driveway and only cleared a few feet. They snuck away before they were done. Shep gets home and the phone rings. His mother answers, Mr Scott is at other end - Shep and Schwartz spend the whole next day well into the night finishing the driveway - for $1.00.
