Where Are They Now: Schoolhouse Rock!

I was happy to see this post.

Last weekend I rented the Schoolhouse Rock DVD and watched the animations I grew up with (37 year old Gen-Xer) every saturday morning. I can honestly say that I both laughed and cried (literally) with delight and emotion watching those old jewels. It was VERY moving for me. It was also so interesting to pick up on more adult (or simply more advanced) themes and lyrics that I missed as a kid.

The optimism and sincerity that came across, along with the genius lyrics, playfull melodies, and simple but clever animation, made for such a contrast with these past few years (in political terms).

“Three is a magic number” in particular, just breathes so much of the hope of the early 70s. Loved watching it again, with so much nostalgia and fondness.

What happened to the song from Schoolhouse Rock: Exercise Your Choppers?

avocado does not contain the word or

avocado does not have or

The theme of the day is conjunctions, so or is an conjunction in all but avacado.

OR – All items had OR in them except the Avocado

Or is the unifying factor. Avacado is the odd one out.

avocado does not contain the “or” connecting letters

avocado does not contain or and the darn thing kept telling me that my email address belonged to someone else and would not let me submit!

OR

The unifying letters are “or”. Avocado is the odd one out.

Avocado lacks the word or, which all of the other words feature. The theme for today was conjunctions. School House Rock was proved right, because and, but, and or have gotten me pretty far.

Early Bird Alarm Clock

Or is the connecting theme. I was going with either oregon since alligator pear does have or in it, but the or is pronounced differently in it. Or avocado since it doesn’t have or. I’ll go with the former just to be different!

Avocado

Doesn’t have “or.”

reasonable explanation

Avocado is the odd-man out. No occurrence of the word “Or.”

Yeah, no Or in Avocado. Late, but that’s usual.

“No ifs, ands, or buts.”

Avocado does not have “or” to fit in with the conjunction junction of today’s puzzles.

The avocado has no OR sound.

All contain OR, except Avocado

Am I the only one who saw the avocado and thought “Guacamole!”? (which does not have an “or” either…)

The avocado is the odd one out, because the others all include the word “or.”

avocado
does not contain “or”, unlike
Ge*or*ge F*or*eman
*Or*egon
do*or*
Eey*or*e
sc*or*eboard
popc*or*n

Avocado doesn’t have ‘or’ in it.
