And, as a result, I'm getting a DUBIOUS REPUTATION on this message board! :eek:

Maggers:

A "Dubious" reputation is a GOOD thing! Don't you remember Romper Room (may have been before your time)? A DO BEE is good, and a DON'T BEE is bad. Thus a Dubious reputation would be good. All you have to do is avoid a Don'tbeous reputation!

Biggles

PS, I hope I'm not rubbing off on you, I think.

Oh, I remember "Romper Room" and that nutsy empty mirror Mrs. Romper Room, or whatever her name was, held in her hand. She'd look through it, directly at the camera, and say "I see Johnny and Mary and Sue" and on and on. And then warn us to DO BE A DO BEE and DON'T BE A DON'T BEE.

But, I can't diss her too much because, in my heart of hearts, I liked "Romper Room" a lot. I was what, 4? No accounting for taste at that age.

Heck, I remember Romper Room, or maybe it was repeats. Remember Romper Stompers?

I don't remember Romper Stompers. Must have been after my time. I was born in '55 Jim. What about you? (If you dare!).

Dec. 1970.

Romper Stompers were yellow plastic cylinders with a string attached that you would walk on.

That is the best (only) picture I could find.






Apparently it is also the name of a Russel Crowe movie from 1992. Anyone seen it?

Thanks! I wondered what all that, "DO BEE," stuff was in the Dark Tower II book. I really should be old enough to remember Romper Room, but I can't - oh well.

Yep. I own it on DVD. It was okay. Probably selling well because of his name.

Kind of a Sid and Nancy type genre with a dark twist.

"Romper Stomper" was a huge success for Russell Crowe, sorta jump started his career in Australia.

His Aussie film that I really like is one called "Proof," also stars Hugo Weaving.
