    The Charlie Brown sneakers make me thrilled to the bone that I have stubby little feet. Can I rock some sexy stilettos? No, but the Charlie Browns are somewhat of a consolation prize.

    I think if anyone can rock the shiny leggings, it's children. Children can get away with a lot of stuff that adults can't. Crocs, for example.

    Side note: It was shortly after the naming of the CSM/LM for Apollo 10 for Peanuts characters, that the front office at NASA put its foot down and demanded that the future names of both spacecraft be a bit more "dignified." Originally, they had not wanted to name the spacecraft, as astronauts had previously done, but Mission Control claimed it would make communications on their loops easier to handle if each craft a unique call-sign to identify it.

    @NefariousNewt: So what's the excuse for "Enterprise"? (other than it can be claimed to be named for something else. . . and it's essentially a prototype)


    Sometimes NASA takes itself too seriously. I like when it allows itself to indulge in the flights of fancy that inspired the program in the first place.

    OMG SO AWESOME. I loved Snoopy as a kid (I had a stuffed Snoopy that was my constant companion, and still is), and on one of our high school field trips to NASA I bought a t-shirt with Snoopy and some Woodstock-birds on a moonwalk together.


    I still have that, too.

    I think I'm risking a lot of flak here, but am I the only person who never enjoyed Peanuts? I never thought it was funny, or even mildly amusing. And from what I could see from a PBS documentary of Charles Schulz, he sounded like a little bit of an asshole.

    But if you read it after, say the 80's you didn't read the real Peanuts. It enjoyed a very rich peak in the 50's and 60's. And Charles Schultz was not a happy man and worked out all his issues in the strip, which is why the tortures and humiliations inflicted on Charlie Brown were sometimes very, very sad..

    @Macloserboy: As a kid, I had a set of original 60's strips (which I still have), and while I did not understand many of the references until much later in life, I always identified with the frustrations that beset Charlie Brown, especially in regards to baseball, a sport I love but never got to play in any organized fashion.

    @LolaQuinn: I enjoy what it represents in terms of culture & history, and I enjoy it as something that I can share with my dad, but I don't enjoy the strip itself. As far as phlisophical-kid strips go, I much prefer 'Calvin & Hobbes.'

    @LolaQuinn: Peanuts was at times quite topical in the 60's and 70's, too. I remember a storyline where Snoopy was at the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm to give a speech and a riot broke out protesting service dogs in Viet Nam. Beetle Bailey never did that!

    @Mireillepa the Rappa: Also, Peanuts was one of the first strips to feature an African-American character (Franklin) in an all-white strip. And Franklin was not portrayed as some offensive stereotype. He is intelligent and portrayed as a good friend to Charlie Brown.

    An awesome man who was also Morgan Freeman's doppelganger taught me how to drive. He put me on the freeway my first day out and he would tell me bizarre stories about the mail-order brides he had to teach to drive quite often. He left a true lasting impression because I was terrified of learning to drive and he taught me that it ain't no thang.
