I heard Lou and Craig engaged in an Anagram Rainbow last night. I admire the fact that they were able to honor their sexualities and their shared passion for grammar at the same time.

Rochester Rain Puddle

Drinking so much that you pass out in bed with another person and you urinate in the bed, getting the other person all wet. Claimed by Rochester, NY as I have witnessed this on numerous occasions. Also, due to the fact that Rochester gets alot of rain and we need a slogan like Cleveland Steamer!
Becky: "I went over his house to have sex, he was drinking, we fell asleep in his bed, and I woke up the next morning in a Rochester Rain Puddle."
Jordan: "That is gross, what did you do??"
Becky: "I left a Puddle of my own, took a quick shower, noticed a kidump in his toilet, and left for good."

Reading Rainbow

Reading Rainbow was an American children's television series aired by PBS from June 6, 1983 until November 10, 2006, that encouraged reading among children.

Each episode centered on a theme from a book or other children's literature which is explored through a number of segments or stories. The show also provided book recommendations for kids to look for when they go to the library.

Reading Rainbow was hosted by actor and executive producer LeVar Burton, who is also known for his roles in Roots and Star Trek: The Next Generation. It was produced by On-Screen Entertainment for executive producers WNED and Great Plains National.

A regular feature was a children's book narrated by a noted celebrity. Some of the celebrities who have read on the show include Harold Littlebird (born in 1951) of New Mexico (The Legend of the Indian Paintbrush) and Michael Ansara (The Gift of the Sacred Dog, And Still the Turtle Watched).

Another segment of the show featured Burton in different places talking to different people about their work and other contributions, focusing on the theme of each episode.

The final segment of each show, called Book Reviews, began with Burton's introductory phrase, "But you don't have to take my word for it," and features children giving capsule reviews of books they recommend. Burton ended every show with, "I'll see you next time."

The show's theme song was written by Steve Horelick, Dennis Neil Kleinman, and Janet Weir; Horelick also served as the series' music director and composer. The theme was sung by Tina Fabrik. The original opening, which depicted a cartoon butterfly transforming the surroundings of young children reading books into cartoon fantasylands, was used until 1999. Later episodes used a new opening with the same theme song performed by R&B legend Chaka Khan.

The daughter of producer Larry Lancit, Shaune Lancit, was often featured in the series, most notably as the child thanking the sponsors at the end of the show.

In recent years it had tackled issues that other children's programs have historically avoided, such as poverty in U.S. inner cities, the September 11 attacks, childbirth and its impact on the family, and prison, all from a child's point of view.
