Let's up chuck! Yuck. Can anyone thinnk of anything more unChristamsie?

[Semper Paratus]

Leave Peanuts alone. Why don't they pick on Doonesbury?

[Gordongekko909]

I'd really like to know how gay icons get chosen. I mean, what are the criteria? Do they have some sort of nomination process?

[byteback]

I think Frosty has issues.

[Fester Chugabrew]

Definite candidate for a "barf alert."

Innovative choreographer Mark Morris stages "The Hard Nut," a ballet that starts with a nod to the original "Nutcracker" but quickly goes in a different direction: Under an edict from the Rat Queen, the disfigured babe-a-licious Princess Pirlipat will reassume her beauty if a suitor can crack, with his teeth, the "hard nut."

"unChristamsie?"

Next, they're going to tell us that the "Little Red-Haired Girl" of Charlie Brown's affection, was really a metaphor for a transgendered boy.

Two words: Peppermint Patty

I always wondered about Peppermint Patty and Marcie. But then both of them had a thing for good ol' Chuck. Maybe he really is a gay icon...

[martin_fierro]

A propos of nothing.

[jigsaw]

Well, that's unheard of!

[o_zarkman44]

What can Brown do for you???

Sell more bleach??

[Old Seadog]

Merry Christmas to all.

Then there are the unanswered questions. Like why, for instance, does Peppermint Patty talk like a boy? Why does Marcie always call her "sir"? And those Birkenstocks? Or, for that matter, why does Linus always spurn the advances of Sally?

Sometimes, you wonder how people can get from one place to another without notes on their clothes, instructing the bus driver where to let them off?

Patty was introduced either in the late 60's or early 70's, a character added because of the hippee movement. Look at her. She is dressed like some sort of bohemian. As an adult today, she would be unwashed, with no makeup, still trying to look like she did back then. Plus, she is as dumb as a rock. Marcie, her gopher, calls her "sir" because she bosses Marcie around. Linus spurns Sally's advances because he is a typical little boy who wants nothing to do with girls. He was the "baby" of the family until his little brother came along.

[Fierce Allegiance]

I'm thouroughly homonauseated.

[Hoodlum91]

If they want a gay character, Hermey - the elf/dentist is perfect.

When asked to comment, Charlie Brown's teacher replied, "Waaa waaa waa waaa waaaa waaa...."

[Hoodlum91]

I think Peppermint Patty was OK. Marcie did seem "alternative".

My guess: Schroder. No interest in Lucy and had too much of a thing for Beethoven
