cworthy Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 King Phillip Came Over For Good Spaghetti -- There is a video that goes along with this one (goofy but effective). I am not sure if the video is available online, but we were able to watch it through our state's online Discovery Streaming.

kah Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Stools, to my son, are BM's! I learned King Phillip Came Over for Green Stamps. A social history lesson for 20th century US, too. They don't still have green stamps, do they? That's what I learned too. And it was a history lesson for us, even in 1983 (although I kind of remembered them from when I was under 5 or so.) I like the Yankee Doodle one, except now I'll be humming Yankee Doodle all day. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
