No Gnews Is Good Gnews

I have two pop-culture mysteries that I have been trying to solve for quite some time. The first is related to a halloween costume of me back when I was a little kid, like 4 or so. I was dressed like a green muppet thing (the plastic mask w/ the rubber band costume) and neither my mom or me or anyone else could remember who the character was or what show it was from, until now...Wikpedia rocks! The answer: Gary Gnu from "The Great Space Coaster Show". It's a show that time has forgotten. I found clips online from the show and latent childhood memories came back. The other pop-culture mystery is a lyric from what I think is a country song "Swing was a thing that Chuck Berry did" or something very similiar. I haven't been able to track that down despite my searching, yet. But the "Great Space Coaster" discovery gives me hope! Thursday I get a Joie day! :) She loves me even though I'm a jobless, homeless, bum.
