Elke Sommer
However you pronounce it, Elke Sommer seems delightful, so it’s unfortunate that she’s overshadowed by the Bobby Benson Baby Band. Give those kids some animal crackers and row row row them out to sea! Backstage, Beau and Beaker hammer out their new relationship and the Pigs in Space explore Koozebane in sneakers and tights.

Shirley Temple’s “Animal Crackers In My Soup” Is Just As Catchy Now As In 1935!
When Shirley Temple sang about them in the 1935 film Curly Top, she tells us about putting them in soup. Shirley Temple’s parents apparently had to defend the film publicly, as parents were writing in to complain that their children were dumping animal crackers into their soup and ruining perfectly good meals! Her parents were quick to say that Shirley did not, in real life, put animal crackers in her soup as they were too sweet. Rather, she saved them for the end of her meal.
Miscellaneous Muppeturgy
They’re called pubes, Ed. (Also they definitely photoshopped Bobby Benson’s cigarette out of this old pic for modern use.)

Michaela’s Egg Nog
Mix 9 eggs with a cup of sugar and 2 cups booze (I went with 1 cup bourbon and half a cup each of brandy and dark rum). Let it sit in the fridge for three weeks.
Add 4.5 cups whole milk and 1/2 a cup of cream.
If you start this the day this episode is released it will be ready in time for Presidents’ Day!
