	Birthday #12, March 12, 1975 ... and the party theme was Wacky Packages!   If you don't remember those, it's because you weren't 12 years old in 1975. This was the SECOND pilot for what became The Muppet Show the following year.  Again, no network was interested in picking it up as a series.

eHarmony and Match.com, meet your grandfather!

Another fun fact about Your Webmaster: My wife and I met in the late '90s via Yahoo*.   More than 14 years of marriage speaks for itself ... but back in the dark ages, it was easily blown off as being "an internet fling."

And another discount store chain bites the dust.
It won't be the last.
