Head - Meet Desk

No wonder I hated watching Sesame Street with Scarlett.  Elmo always made me wanna puke, but I thought it was just because I was grown up. Now I know the truth - I was jaded and hardened by my years on the Street.  The ORIGINAL Street. 

Caution - this article discusses the original Sesame Street episodes, which are deemed unfit for today's toddlers.  

Pablum, anyone?

C is for Cookie. That's still good enough for me, dammit.

I agree with the outing of Snuffleupagus, though; it had been 'til then sending (I feel) a mixed message. I mean, we've all of us experienced the heartbreak of not being believed after trying to live by The Truth Shall Set You Free (don't think Washington really didn't get his buns warmed after 'fessing to the cherry tree?) but being punished instead, or whatever?

I mean, trying to convince folks about the existance of something only you have seen or heard, just to be condemned, what a load; Big Bird of Ark, anyone?

I agree wholeheartedly with the Snuffy issue. I can remember being frustrated TO. NO. END. by the whole "we can see him, but they can't" business. I also remember being quite glad and relieved by the news in 1986 that Snuffy had been sighted - looooong after I'd stopped watching the show.

No no no, gotta get this right;

Big Bird and Joan of Ark are sitting in a bar across from God and Snuffleupagus, bitching that nobody believes them; Harvey walks up and says "What is this, a joke?"

- that's better; feel free to spread.
