1. I used to try to draw Cousin Itt in my notebooks at school. I always tried to figure out what...

.
.
.
... he looked like without his sunglasses and I could NEVER get the "eyeholes" to work.

3. I showed

some old episodes of the Addams Family with Cousin It to my 10 year old last year. She got a kick out of him!

4. Cousin Itt

was actually one of my nicknames at that time because of the way I wore my hair.

Long and blonde and straight with long bangs that nearly covered my face.

My other nicknames were "Jolly Green" (for being tall) and "string bean" for being very thin.

So let's put this all together.

Tall...skinny...hairy...

sort of like a string mop.

or an anorexic Sasquatch

11. I always imagined you as a tomboy, with red freckles and pigtails

I am thinking all the stuff you were teased about, paid off when you got older.

[pipi_k]

15. Oh, probably because

you associate my screen name with Pippi Longstocking

Nope...pipi_k is from the Hawaiian language... Pipikaula.


Here I am at about 5 or 6 yrs old

[hifiguy]

10. I loved The Addams Family

and Cousin Itt was the ginchiest.

[nolabear]

12. Wasn't there some other critter who looked like taht but carried a protest sign?

I keep thinking it was on the old Lloyd Thaxton Show but can't find anything. Like MFM I drew something with sandals and a sign that said various things.

Anyone?

[Tom Ripley]

13. Absolutely! I also remember it from the Lloyd Thaxton Show...

16. I remember him.

I think he might have been on "Laugh-In" or the Smothers Brothers' show. Or, perhaps one of them Saturday kids' shows.

[hifiguy]

23. I seem to remember Arte Johnson doing

a character on Laugh In who had long straggly hair and carried sandwich board protest signs.

20. Man, I hadn't thought of the Lloyd Thaxton show

in years. We had it here in Minneapolis for a year or two. It was mandatory after-school viewing for me.

[Tom Ripley]

21. I was a little preschool kid when it aired...

and that's where I learned how to do all of those dances at the time...frug, shag, jerk,watusi, swim, dirty dog, twist, etc...

[GoCubsGo]

14. He was the best character in that show.

[Myrina]

18. Completely!!

Little hippie freak!

[geardaddy]

19. Loved him.
