Kenneth Carson and Barbara Roberts were passing the neighborhood park when they spotted Patricia Reichardt tossing a baseball into the air.
“Who are you waiting for?” Barbara asked.
“I’m waiting for Aloysius,” Patricia replied.
“Does Jeff Albertson play on your team?” Ken inquired.
“No, he plays for the other team, the one coached by Captain Horatio.”
“Ah, okay then. Have a wonderful day now. And say hi to Charles for us, okay?”
“Okay … bye bye!”
Soooo … recognize these people? If not, then you should pay better attention to the back stories, history and hidden facts of today’s modern culture characters.
· Mr. Carson and Miss Roberts are … Ken and Barbie, the famous dolls.
· Patricia Reichardt is … Peppermint Patty of Peanuts fame.
· Aloysius is … Snuffaluffagus, the long-nosed hairy guy-thing on Sesame Street.
· Jeff Albertson is … the “comic book guy” on The Simpsons.
· Captain Horatio is … Cereal character Captain Horatio Magellan Crunch of the S.S. Guppy.
· And of course, the “Charles” that Patricia was referring to is Charlie Brown of Peanuts.
There … now don’t you feel better?

Barbara Roberts, huh? Who knew?
Think she'll hyphenate when she married Ken? ;)
