Remember that TV program, Kids Say the Darndest Things?
Well, after hosting a number of Squidoo Hey Monkeybrain debates and having included guestbooks on many of my lenses, I'm happy to say that People Say the Darndest Things! This lens has been rattling around in my head for at least since Squidoo launched Hey Monkeybrain.
It was not until recently that I received an interesting and brief guestbook message that I felt inspired to compose this lens. You see that comment was something that grandma would wash your mouth out with soap if she ever heard you.
See if you don't agree ...
Kids Say the Darndest Things FAQs
This program certainly proved that kids do say the darndest things ...
Kids Say the Darndest Things was an American television series hosted by Bill Cosby and co-hosted by Art Linkletter that aired on CBS from 1998 to 2000. It was based on Art Linkletter's television series, Art Linkletters House Party, which aired five days a week on CBS for more than 20 years. Cosby also provided some of the humor in the show. The premise of the show is that the host would ask a question to a cute child (around the age of 3-8) who would usually respond in a "cute" way.
British television network ITV produced their own version of the show, renamed Kids Say The Funniest Things. It was presented by Michael Barrymore, and was a production of LWT. There was also an Australian version titled "Kidspeak" hosted by Andrew Daddo on the Seven Network for a number of seasons in the late-1990s and early-2000s.
In 2005, Robert Johnson and Albert Evans adapted the show into a full-length musical comedy.
The show has been featured in adult cartoons Family Guy and The Simpsons''.

Brunettes Say the Darndest Things?
BLONDES are SEXIER and have MORE Fun!- DarkHairedRaven says: I think it's great that at your age you still find yourself sexy. But, I must be honest, brunettes are mor exotic looking and much much sexier!
- Nick says: My subjective opinion rates blondes slightly lower than average since the hair color somehow seems to promote ditziness in too many cases (perhaps that is having "more fun" since ignorance is bliss).
- udkl says: Looks like this question was asked by a Blonde who has a lot of free time on hand ;)
- BlueBeard says: Based on past experience, I'll vote for do-not-want blondes.
My ex was a blonde. And also a cosmo-girl. *gag* My wife is a brunette and makes me sandwiches. No brainer, yes? But all women are irrational nut-jobs anyway, but I might be saying that because I'm bunkering on the couch tonight.
Coffee Lovers Say the Darndest Things?
STARBUCKS vs. DUNKIN' DONUTS -- Coffee WARS!- Spunky says: That's like deciding if i'd rather die by nail-gun or wood-plane; I'd prefer neither.
- Food_Junkie says: On second thought; since coffee makes you poop, Dunkin' Donuts is more likely to have a multi-stall bathroom.
- lexi1981 says: When i want a coffee i want a COFFEE not a mocha swirl xtra light blah blah it takes 20 min just to order. Never mind going there in the morning its like a 6 hour event.
Honda Lovers Say the Darndest Things?
HARLEY vs. HONDA -- Battle of the VROOMS!.- bigRUNT says: Harley rules honda drools.
- Spunky says: Sorry, but it boils down to SHOW vs GO. Harley has only recently focused on innovation again (other than just moving the leather tassels around the bike from year to year).
- Rider says: If you want sound buy a cd. If you want to be a poser, get a Harley. If riding is your goal, get a Honda.
Mercedes & BMW Lovers Say the Darndest Things?
MERCEDES-BENZ vs. BMW -- Which ROADSTER is for YOU?.- Dave says: Whatever Gil, move to Jersey and its right back in your pay grade. At least you can drive it to work.
- Mel Brooks says: Go Mercedes!
- tjwatkinspg says: BMW never made ovens.
P.S. Mel Brooks is reading my Squidoo lenses???
Duracell Lovers Say the Darndest Things
ENERGIZER vs. DURACELL -- Who would win?.- rosa says: f**k yall energizer fans!!!...it's all bout duracell=] **deleted**
- Josh says: Think about which Bunny is tappable in bed. I'd prefer the Duracell bunny.
Ah, the Anonymity of the Internet!
Is that why People Say the Darndest Things?
Here's another from sanitybit!
How to be a Squidoo whore:1) Write content.
2) Wait for it to become popular.
3) Sell it to a marketer, so they can turn what was once a trusted source of information into more biased bullshit advertising.
4) Pretend you are doing it for the animals so people will see you as less of a dirty sellout.
If Squidoo ever wants to be taken seriously, they need to address the the sale of lenses.
BTW, you put this in the wrong category, it belongs in "Sellouts". --Sanitybit Reviews Buy One of Jaguar Julie's Lenses on Stumbleupon.
Squidoo Lensmasters -- Do YOU Agree?
I am a passionate lensmaster here on Squidoo who has taken a bit of flack on wis.dm AND on Stumbleupon. Personally, I feel those comments were from individuals who completely misunderstand what Squidoo is all about -- and do not GET how we lensmasters help out charities through our passionate work.

Oh, please keep it G-rated and clean please. I attended a Catholic grade school where the nuns were pretty rough. You got you knuckles whacked with a ruler if you used bad language or were impolite!

Fun lens! Sometimes odd things end up in guestbooks, even from good lensmasters. Someone once dropped by my nutrition for nursing lens and basically asked if I was feeding spaghetti to my baby. Oops! Don't feel bad about getting flamed...at least you're not running a dirty web cam business! ***** Posted October 02, 2008 |
