"I was a friend of a psychologist in Hollywood. He invited me to go with him up to San Jose to a convention of psychologists. I was interested in psychology at the time. We were in the lecture hall at San Jose State, and one psychologist would get up and make a speech. It was pretty boring for me. But the MC happened to be Allen Watts, the Zen Philosopher of Sausalito. He would crack us up and tell funny stories and get our blood circulating again. And they would put on another psychologist to bore us again."At one of these little humorous intermissions, he said there were two kinds of people in the world, the prickly and the gooey. The prickly are rigid and uptight, analytical, and critical. The gooey are easygoing, flowing in the here and now, friendly and jolly."I said I have got to make two characters to symbolize those two types of people. Then people all over the world will be able to identify with them. So we created the little, yellow dinosaur with his spines, and named him Prickle. Goo is a very gooey blue mermaid."

CanYouHearUmNow Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Biggest mistake is either I hang a set of lights that don't work, or start hanging from the wrong end, only to find out when I go to connect the next set, or plug them in to power...

bisquit476 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Nice revival of a 2 year old thread, but what the hell, here's mine. Where are you told not to stand on an A frame ladder, that's right kiddies, the top step, guess who didn't get that memo? Yep thats right, the guy who tore his Patella tendon completely off his knee and spent 3 1/2 months rehabbing after he fell off that damn ladder. The not so funny part was when I looked up at said ladder through pain filled eyes and it was still standing upright. Needless to say, the misses didn't allow me on the ladder for a couple of years.
