I Think I'll Paint a 7





Whilst composing a "best of super-old Sesame Street clips" DVD, I came across this clip featuring Paul Benedict and Stockard Channing from about 1969 or so. It involves a man who obsessively paints numbers wherever he goes. This particular clip carries a certain sentimental value. A friend of mine (who shall remain nameless) loved this clip so much that, after an evening of seriously heavy drinking, he decided to emulate it in our mutual friend's grandmother's driveway. The next morning, she awoke to find the words "Hmmm...I Think I'll Paint A 7" in enormous white painted letters. Instead of calling the police, she gave my anonymous friend 24 hours to clean it up, and out of the goodness of my heart, I helped.



This one's for you, anonymous.
