Silliness that changed you.

[wolf]

I would name most of the same things that elspode does here, with some additions/specifics.

Bill Cosby - Wonderfulness was one of the first LPs that I owned.

Rocky and Bullwinkle warped me in special ways.

Dr. Demento. Many the Sunday night did I spend, eagerly awaiting the Funny Five.

There were an assortment of other britcoms that molded me, and very importantly, I'm the exception that proves the rule about women liking the Stooges. I love them.

The early years of Saturday Night Live also set the comedy bar higher ... and the brilliance of robin william's "Reality, What a Concept" album shines to this day.

Then there was our own self-generated silly ... long before there was an internet, back in the ol' paper terminal days, my socially impaired geek friends and I kept voluminous lists of very silly things that we said in the course of what where, for us, ordinary conversations.

The tradition continues to this day ... there's an annual picnic that started back when we were in college that is still going on, and it continues to be my duty to write down all the 'sentences not often heard.'

We also did the customary assortment of 'we don't care what you think' goofy stuff.
