This makes me sad. You prompted me to look up The Bloodhound gang, and Ricardo died of complications related to AIDS in 1986.

I was and continue to be afraid of the Wicked Witch of the West and Captain Hook.

What does it say about me that the only Bloodhound Gang of which I am aware is the band fronted by Jimmy Pop that sings:

"Kiss me where it smells funny"
"The bad touch" (aka You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals)
"A lap dance is so much better when the stripper is crying"

and other hits?

Damn the Dow is kicking ass. Makes me wish I had money that wasn't tied up in my house, which Zillow.com says is down 10% in the last six months.

But for BnB and the rest of y'all with domestic equities, congrats.

We grew up in Canada. We had Polka Dot Door.

etnote that my thoughts were the same as yours, str8, but I just thought of "the bad touch" and not the other hits you mention.

It says that the Childrens Television Workshop did not educate you on how to solve crimes through the proper application of science in the early 80s.

You think the last line was true just because I put the words "True story" in front of it? What the hell kind of lawyer are you?

Well, the fact that the HLS guy was mouthy and wasn't wearing Harvard garb both seemed pretty credible.

See you soon through the Polka Dot Door.

Do you think you can explain Polkaroo to the board? He(?) was a large kangaroo-type creature who had some Mr. Snuffalupagus properties in that only one of the hosts would see him and the other one would inevitably come in RIGHT after he left. And the only word he could say was "Polkaroo" -- in various inflections.

Wait a minute. Bloodhound Gang was part of Sesame Street? That must have been the part of Sesame Street that in Canada, was edited out and replaced by a little segment with a kid from Quebec teaching you about Bonhomme Carnaval or some such.

Is that the same money you gambled away over the past year?

other than for reunions we can't wear anything that says Harvard Law School. It would throw off the "go to school in Boston" bit.

Wait a minute. A guy I play soccer with went to Harvard Law School and sometimes wears a Harvard Law School Intramural Soccer shirt. Sometimes your stories don't quite add up, Hank. Are you pulling the wool over our eyes about the whole Harvard thing? Or is it a subtle and intentional misdirection. If the former, I say "Kudos to you!" If the latter, I say "Bravo, and keep up the good work, old chap!"

Inevitably, there is a Wikipedia entry on Polkaroo, with the following excerpt:

"Each day's episode had a particular theme. On "Imagination Day", the character Polkaroo appeared. The actor playing Polkaroo donned a tall, green plush costume that resembled a kangaroo. In its mended, yellow and multi-coloured polka-dot muumuu, the creature never spoke other than the occasional exclamation of its own name. Polkaroo appeared only to one host while the other was away, performing a pantomime whose meaning was guessed by the audience. The missing host would return upon Polkaroo's departure, habitually exclaiming, "Aw, I missed him again." (Although there is a common belief that the absent host was in the Polkaroo costume, this has never been confirmed by anyone associated with the show.)

Because of the irony laden in this sentence, Polkaroo has become something of a cultural icon to the generation raised on Polka Dot Door, and the catchphrase "Aw, I missed him again" may often be employed for humorous effect."

I do not recall ever using that catchphrase. However, I do recall always being very happy when it was Imagination Day because Polkaroo would appear.

From Wikipedia:

The Bloodhound Gang first started out as a small alternative band in 1992 called Bang Chamber 8. The band consisted of Jimmy Pop and Daddy Long Legs. They released one known tape, which was self titled. Soon they changed their name to the Bloodhound Gang, and changed their musical style. Their new name referred to the PBS kid's show 3-2-1 Contact! in the 80's. This show was about 3 kids who were detectives, solving mysteries and fighting crime. Unable to get booked at any clubs, The Bloodhound Gang first performed in the extra room at Evil Jared Hasselhoff's house, in exchange for Schlitz, Marlboros, and a chance to hand out their first demo tape, entitled Just Another Demo. When the floor caved in one night, they began performing every month at CBGBs in New York City.[1]

No, it was part of 3-2-1 Contact, which was a 30 minute science show that taught us ROY G. BIV for the colors of the rainbow and how loud a KISS concert could be and what bouancy is and other science stuff. The Bloodhound Gang came on in the last part of the show. Whenever there was trouble, they were there on the double.
