Fosters Reference today.

[Lynnie]

I guess this would be the right thread to post this since I did hear a Foster's reference today.

I'm listening to the radio on my way to work this morning and there is one of those contests where you listen for a certain song and when you hear it be the 10nth caller and you win concert tickets. The song to listen for was "Blue Christmas", and when the DJ said the title, he continued "That's 'blue' as in the color, not the cartoon". I busted out laughing in pure glee at hearing that! Hmm, "Bloo Christmas", that would be an interesting song.

On another note, I heard a reference on PBS's Arthur spinoff, Postcards from Buster a year or so ago. For those not familiar with the show, Buster the cartoon character (Arthur's best friend from Arthur) travels the North American Continent with his dad, who pilots a private plane for a Latin band while they tour. While traveling, Buster meets real kids and video tapes them and sends the tapes back to Arthur and his friends back home as "video postcards". So it's a combination of cartoon and live action. Anyway, in one episode, taking place somewhere in the southern US, Buster tapes a brother and sister competing in how fast they can type. The sister wins, and turns to her brother and says "Face it {brother's name}, I'll always be one step ahead of you. One. Step. Ahead!" The way she said it, and word for word, I knew right away where she had gotten that phrase from! It was really cool!
