A Little Scared
Yesterday, I pointed out to Griffin that Chris and Martin Kratt, of Kratt's Creatures/Zoboomafoo/Be the Creature, are real people. I can't tell you how excited he is. He immediately dictated a letter to send to them.
So today I surfed around for their address. I can't seem to find one. However, I did find a Kratt brothers' fan club web page. And that page led me to a Kratt brothers' fan club mailing list. I joined, figuring that someone there could get me the information I need.
This list has over 400 members. It generates over 100 messages a week. And the members are all grown women. Many of them are there for the sake of their kids, yes ... but many of them are not.
Now, I will admit, it doesn't hurt to have the kids watch a show that is both educational and easy on the eye. I was amused but fine until I shared this news with Jeff, who asked if, since there's such a large fan base, I had found any fanfic yet. Ack!! And now that whole idea of "Kratt Brothers fanfic" is in my head and it's expanding, like space jelly ... help!! Make it go away! I swear I only wanted an address!

The Kratt Blub Bio page said that the Kratt Brothers Company was located in Vermont. Give that info to Google.

Mental Picture Rule!!!
Oh, thanks a lot Steph. Fanfic. Someone's going to come up with a really sick version of "Me and you and Zaboomafoo" now....

Thought you'd like that, Brian ;-)
Mark, you are banished.
e ... okay, yes, they are hot, and I do have to admit that I have always appreciated their willingness to jump into the water, or the mud, or the Jell-O ... but I swear I was only searching for an address for my kid.
I did use Heidi's tip and found a business address. However, I also found that they answer EVERY piece of mail a kid sends them, so they periodically remove the fan addresses and shut down to get a break. I can respect that.

That was a literal LOL. Thank goodness we don't watch the Wiggles here.
There is a similar item with a Hello Kitty motif. I have never understood the attraction, and I sure as heck can't walk by a Hello Kitty store in innocence any more.
