Youve always got a friend wearing big red shoes
Ronald McDonald
In many ways, Ronalds is a face Ive grown up with. I saw him every Saturday morning, he was on my Happy Meal box, I would eat his head from a McDonaldLand cookie package, and hes on those plastic bibs that teenagers still like to goof around with.
Yeah, I get mixed feelings about the whole thing. I know hes a mascot for a huge fast food corporation, but hes also a permanent part of my childhood. What can you say?
Youd have to think; If McDonalds had first opened today, there probably never be a Ronald McDonald, what with the socially-conscious, do-gooder, "Oh, think of the CHILDREN!" generation we live in.

Youve Bean Missed
Mr. Bean
In high school, my typing teacher did the coolest thing.
At lunch hour he would invite teachers and students to come into the library to watch his videotapes of an odd looking character called Mr. Bean. This strange character in a brown suit didnt say much, but the situations he got into and the things he did were hilarious.
Many of us students latched on immediately. Word spread around about the videos and the lunch hour audience swelled. Wed anxiously head for the library every lunch hour to poke our heads in and ask "Is there any Mr. Bean today?"
It was one of those things that really brightened the whole school day.
When I first saw Mr. Bean get a turkey stuck on his head, It was one of the most amazing things I had ever seen. I was thoroughly convinced this Rowan Atkinson guy was some kind of genius.
