This program is funded by grants from McDonald's Corporation and McDonald's Restaurants Fund, and by public television stations, the Ford Foundation, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. We're gonna roll out the barrel. Eugene Polish of Huracanot, New York,

sent in this barrel. And to find out what's inside tonight, you will need a piece of paper, a pen, a washable ink marker, and some tape. Then you tape a strip of paper to your forehead and then try to write your name on it. The one with the neatest writing is the winner. It's not as easy as you think. Look at Audrey. You can't even say what it says. You can't? Look at Marvin's. Let's take him off. Mine's okay, but it's backwards. How can I do that? No, this one's okay because it's backwards. Tishy is pretty good.

Yay! Yeah, tishy one. Hello? What's green in the pecs on a tree? You got me. We went Pickle! Martha, what's wrong with the elevator? I've been waiting half the day. Hold on. It'll come down. Are you sure that it'll come down? Well, it can't go sideways. Very funny. You know, I just don't understand how the elevator could get stuck in the third and a half floor.

Who lives there? Nobody lives there. Somebody just has to be stuck there. I think you're right. But what can we do? Take the stairs. I mean about fixing the elevator. Call Professor Vondankov. It's his job. Hey, Professor! What in the world are you doing? I'm looking for my invisible dog. How do you expect to find him? My invisible flashlight. Well, Professor, if you've lost your invisible dog, why don't you just put an ad in the paper? There's no point in that. My dog can't read. Where do you think you're going? You have to fix the elevator. It's stuck again. Yes, it is, isn't it? Oh, yes, it is, isn't it? Professor, will you please fix the elevator? I would like to go up to my room. We'll take the stairs. They aren't stuck. Very funny. Everybody's such a comedian today. I'll fix it. I'll fix it. By the way, has anybody seen Mr. Williams today?

I have to tell him something. what i forgot oh well i guess i'll fix the elevator what could be wrong stuck on the third and half floor i don't know anybody who lives there brilliant you would have made a great detective do you think so perhaps well anyhow this could take days maybe weeks it's taken years already Buckbuster, are you all right? Sure I am. Happens all the time. Hey, look, the elevator's working again. That buck must have done it. So glad I could be on. It's down to the first floor already. Gee, that was fast. Bonnie, you're great. I bet whoever's in there will be glad to get out. Hey, the doors aren't opening. What do you expect to hear with that thing?

Uh-oh. I hear Mr. Williams, and he doesn't sound too happy. Maybe this is a job for Superclark. No, I think it's a job for Doc Buster Bonnie. Sure thing, brother. Out of the way, professor. Wow, what a scary experience. Being stuck on the third and a half floor with an attack Doberman. Mr. Williams, you lock up old tires. How about joining me in a cup of tea? Sure thing, Bertha. You get it first, after this room. I'll join you. Now I remember what I was going to tell Mr. Williams. What was that? Not to use the elevator today, because it's broken. Oh, no. Will all these nice people still be lying on the floor when we visit the Zoom Inn once again? To find out, just tune in for the next episode of As the World Zooms.

If you want to help us write As the World Zooms, we'll send you a Zoom card that tells you how to do it. Write some C-double-O-M-D-O-X-3-5-0, Boston, that's O-2-1-3-0. But remember to include a saisy, that's a self-addressed stamped envelope. if you come home one day after school and your parents aren't home and there's nothing in the house to eat but hard-boiled eggs why have hard-boiled eggs with salt have them deviled eggs now I'll show you how to make deviled eggs first you take a hard-boiled egg and you cut it in half like this. So, oh, I got some of the yolk here. Then, when you have them in half like that, you put them into a bowl with a fork. You scoop it out. Try to get as much out as you can. This don't work. There you go. Then you set the whites to the side. Then you do the same with the other. Then when you have the yolks into the bowl, you mush

them up so there aren't big hunks because it's hard to mix it up with big hunks. So you get them into little tiny pieces. So it looks like this. Then you take one spoon and you get a scoop of mayonnaise. That's about enough. And you put it in. Then you take another spoon and just a little more or less than the mayonnaise you take of mustard and you put it in. Because too much mustard will get it a little sour-y. Well, not sour-y, but it won't taste good. Then you mix it up in the bowl like this until it turns nice and creamy. Then when you have that done, you set the fork to the side. Then you take another spoon and get a scoop of this, the batter, and put it back into the egg, like that. You And you do the same thing with the other one.

There. Then when you have that done, for a little seasoning or just taste, if you like paprika, you can put it on. It's really good. You put it on. You can put olives in it or parsley flakes or celery flakes. Then, there you have it, deviled eggs. It's pretty good with olives, too. But it's crummy with mustard. Hello? Who's the toughest pickle in Dodge City? I don't know. Who? Marshal Duke! Lisa's always been a fighter, ever since she's three years old.

One day, this man come to the house and asked my husband, would he please keep Lisa from chasing his son all the way home from school? Me and my brother, we played football together. We played baseball together. We did everything together. My brother boxed all his friends. So I said to myself, now I want to box, you know? So I'm boxing. Here, I'll show you how to get out of the corner with you. Come on. when i saw lisa come walking in i knew right off that i had a champion in the makings that's good watch my nose when you hook that's it come on two left jabs too good i started boxing about a year ago mr dean is my coach and he's the one who taught me everything i know hook with your left and then come back with your right come on good that's it all right throw a few combinations like that inside inside that's good good good oh good that's it

good good good you're coming off of your books into the body real good that's good yeah real good to become a good boxing you got to go to the gym every day without goofing off you have to go there be serious and you have to really work hard don't throw your elbow out that's good stay on your toes lisa people don't know how much there really is in boxing they just think it's a lot of hitting here and there lisa combinations baby Keep your left out. You're drawing your left elbows, going way behind your body. In boxing, you don't win by hurting somebody. You win by your good technique. And you're not Muhammad Ali, so cut out the shuffling.

That's why I work out as hard as I do, because if I ever get a fight, I want to go up there to win, not to hurt somebody. Do you feel like your movements are coming naturally to you now? Well, yeah, they do, but my arms, I mean, when I'm punching. You're getting arm-weary? Mm-hmm. They slow down. You think we've got to exercise your arms a little bit more? exercise my legs and everything in my arms how about a tournament would you be game to go into a tournament to go into competition to fight against another girl in the tournament if you want me to I want to you game for it already I've always tried to get other girls and to join boxing other boys can fight with other boys but I won't have anybody to fight because there is no other girls boxing at the gym. The only person I ever get to box with once in a while is Mr. Dan. Ladies and gentlemen, we'd like to welcome you to the New Orleans Police Department Boxing Gym. You are here today to witness three stellar presentations. The first bout will be between the champ, Lisa Labee, and myself, the coach. Thank you very much.

If I would become a famous boxer, I'd feel happy now. I really want to keep up my boxing, I wouldn't mind being a champion. Hello?

What's Granny Girl's oink oink? I don't know. Porky Pickle oink oink oink. Kids, they're not for inspection. They all look fine to me, except Johnny. Who, me? Johnny? Yes, Johnny. What's wrong with me? What's wrong with him? That's wrong with me. I mean him. I mean, look at his socks. My socks? His socks? My socks? I mean, your socks. Why, Johnny, you have one red sock. And one blue. One blue and one red? One's red and one's blue. What's blue and who's red? I mean, one's blue and one's red. That's funny. What's funny? What's funny? I have another pair just like them at home. Oh, Johnny. It takes a long time just to do something like a five-minute thing.

It might take half an hour because if one mistake goes by, then you got to try to do it again and try to make it come out right. But it's hard. Sometimes it isn't the kids fault. sometimes it's the director's fault like um keith um our director and sometimes he doesn't get the cameras in right and we have to do it all over and our floor manager says all right do it again keith's fault yeah whenever yeah sometimes it's our fault but he says like he calls our fault but that's not us he's not saying it's our fault but it's their fault yeah or sometimes an airplane When the plane goes by, that messes it up. Or somebody blows a camera. Like, if they're not paying attention, it's Keith's fault. Or, like, the people inside's fault. And, like, sometimes we get blamed a lot. We don't get blamed, but they were pretty nice on us. I know how Keith must be. You know, he's saying, Well, these kids better get it right! So...

And with the whole ceiling, halfway full of lights, and it's beaming down on our eyes and on our back and everything, and half of us are sweating and everything, and we're trying to, you know, usually we wish they would turn down our lights. Like, it isn't doing Zoom, it isn't just, you know, doing the hard stuff, it isn't just for the kids in the audience, but, you know, the people in the control booth like it too, because I was doing that bathtub thing, remember, when I fell down out of the door? As soon as I fell, I heard everybody in the control booth laughing, I know, we were trying to make, remember when we were trying to make each other laugh? And I was making so many goofy faces, everyone was cracking up, you know, and I didn't see anything was funny, so, yeah, every time I make this laugh. Yeah, like, um, like, sometimes, like, some of the cameramen are really nice, and sometimes they can help you, not help you with your lines, but, you know, sometimes they cheer you up with a good word or something like that. Sometimes.

Do you have a subject that you feel would be good to rap about? If you do, send your suggestion to Zoom, box 350, Boston, Mass., 02134. I bought you at the shoe store that bright sunny day. You once were white, but now you are gray. You made me happy, I sang a song. Now alas, your tread is gone. Do not fear my love, I'll not refuse. I'll always care for you, my tennis shoes. For my trick today, I'm going to produce an egg out of my hat. Empty hat. Yes, I can. Now, we have an ordinary black handkerchief, and we place it in the hat. Now. Hocus pocus, sing and beg. into my hat, we'll roll an egg. How'd you do that?

Magic. my name is Michael Terry I do a lot of rafting and kayaking on the Chautuga River in Northeast Georgia I really enjoy rafting and kayaking as a sport but I also do it because of the business my father runs. He runs a rafting operation on the Chautuga. Greg, you and Tad want to roll up that spare raft. We're only going to need two. The film Deliverance was shot on the Chautuga River where we do most of our rafting and kayaking. My father's rafting company started during this movie when he bought a raft from the people who were filming the movie. The Chantuga River is located between Georgia and South Carolina.

It forms the boundary between these states. Almost every single person I've talked to who's run this river says that it's one of the better ones they've ever run. Okay, everybody get your helmets on and let's get moving. My role in the family rafting business is to be the experienced person with the groups going down. Most of the people who go down the river with us on our raft trips know pretty well what they're getting into. A lot of them have been down before, and others have talked to people who have been down before. I've been going down the Chautuga for about four years now. I feel like I know it really well. Still, every once in a while, it does surprise you.

It comes up with something that wasn't there before, like a fallen tree or a rock that's moved. my father was one of the first people to get a kayak in Georgia and there was no one really to help teach us after he got started he taught me everything he had learned and then we worked together a lot and both of us learned together Oh, my God. One of the better things about kayaking is that you're by yourself and if anything goes

wrong it's your fault but whenever you do something right it's also because of you when we take a group out the kayaks will go through a rapid first then they'll set up at the bottom to get any loose gear that might happen to fall under the river okay warning me if you see any rocks looming don't yell and scream and everything just tell me there's a rock one person will probably set up with a line a rope that can be thrown to anyone who might happen to fall out of a rap. When we come to some of these harder rapids, it's kind of scary at first. And when you come out the bottom it's like you've beaten something, but you can't really

beat it, but you feel like you've really done something right. I dig rock and roll music and I love to get the chance to play and sing it I dig your it's about the happiest sound going down today I mean it, the message may not move me, or mean a great deal to me, but hey, it feels so groovy to say, hey I dig, the mamas and the papas and the trip sons and strip in LA, California, they got a good thing going when the words don't get in the way. And when they're really wailing

Michelle and Cass start sailing Hey, they really nailed me to the wall! And when the Beatles tell you They've got the whole world to sell you They mean exactly what they say Hey, I dig rock and roll music I can really get on that scene And move it I think I can say something If you know what I mean and move it But if I really say it

The radio won't play it Unless I lay it between the lines Do-do-day, do-do-day, do-do-day, do-do-day Do-do-day, do-do-day, do-do-day, do-day, do-day Doody day, day, day, day, day today. Doody day, doody day, day, day today. Doody day, doody day, day, day today. Doody day, doody day, day, day, day, day. Oh my God. Hi, gang. You want to hear it ladies? Yeah, sure. Well, there's going to be a talent show next Saturday at the restaurant down the street. Oh, wow, a talent contest.

I'm going to try it for the greatest riches in the whole country. And I shall make my specialty, upside-down cake. I'll invent something, a new trick for Lucas to do. Good. And I'm going to skate around the rink 478 times in two minutes, and I'm going to set a new world record. I think I'll play a tune on my guitar, something to get the judges dancing. Well, I'm going to show my special talent as the best manager in the world. I'm going to sing a song, a nice romantic one. I've got it. I'll crack a safe if these old fingers are still in shape. I'll astound them all when I dash to the phone booth to change into super clerk. What's your talent, Blabby? My, my talent is fooling people. Who are you gonna fool? I just fooled nine of my friends to believe it. It's gonna be a talent contest. Aww. I was just fooling.

Yeah. I was just fooling. I was just fooling. Maxine. Do it, sweetie. No, no. Sing me a song, play your music, do something. Professor, fix the elevator. I was just fooling. Come on, give it a try. We're gonna show you just why. We're gonna teach you to fly high. Come on and zoom. Come on and zoom zoom. Come on and zoom zoom. Come on and zoom zoom. Come on and zoom zoom. Come on and zoom zoom.
