Hoops and Yoyo

Hoops and Yoyo are two of our new household friends. I was introduced to Hoops and Yoyo by my dear friend Cheryl with the "Spastic Colon Sunday" sketch. They are these hilarious creatures from Hallmark that bring everyone joy and laughter. Here is their website: http://www.hoopsandyoyo.com/ I highly recommend it.
At the gym the other day, one of the other 5 am regulars (yes, contrary to what many of you believe, there are other people who work-out at 5 in the morning besides me!) was wearing a Hoops and Yoyo t-shirt. I commented on the characters and she told me that she knows the people who do their voices. I was like "WHAT?! You KNOW them?!" I realized that the conversation was quickly reaching sacred ground since Hoops and Yoyo are pretty much considered famous in my book and I was talking to someone who actually KNEW them. My 5 am friend shared that she went through a very sad time in life about two years ago and emailed them to show her appreciation for still being able to cheer her up, it was the only thing that could make her laugh. They have kept in touch since and these wonderful people have helped he family through some other rough patches. She is even planning to go out to Kansas and meet them!
Neeedless to say, I left Lifetime feeling like I had brushed up against something famous. Wow, to know Hoops and Yoyo. Now that is something.
Here is Howie enjoying some Hoops and Yoyo after a Cool Whip dessert...
