Sesame Street

Forty years today.

Best moment? Just to help the post count.

No-one's favourite number is 8, Bert.

"Caterpillars never, never, never......


















...wear brown boots."

Wasn't there a Big Bird in it?

Anything by Cookie Monster. Only way I could get my son to eat breakfast.

I was always disturbed by the fact that he never ingested any of the cookies. Just shredded them into crumbs with rabid mouth work.

Cookie's attack on a cookie was like Dino's approach to Fred Flintstone after he'd had a hard day at the quarry. Pure metastatic enthusiasm.

Exactly. My son loved it, but had to eat up the shreds after he'd had his fun and wasn't allowed to spill them from his high chair.. Took him to Bojangles in Alice years later and he was wide-eyed as I threw peanut shells all over the floor. At home it was hard to stop him making a mess. When he saw me going feral he was too scared to do anything but eat really nicely.

I quite liked the Count.

He certainly shone in Sesam-E's Treat braddles.....

I liked the one where he played Casey Jones and ate the snow to get the train through. Though the Count's thunder and lightning was pretty cool.

Oscar was a bit of a role model, too.

What about Snuffy. I remember biting my tongue, wanting to scream, "There's a big farking Mammoth behind you guys".

Strange, I remember wanting the mammoth to squish everyone.

He was a bit sinister though, like a gay ganster with wandering hands who no-one dared stand up to.

Mammoth? He looked and sounded more like a bedraggled, adenoidal, needy llama.

Jeez. 12 replies and no mention of Kermit. His newsfeeds alone were Gold.

I didn't like his 'schtick'. Arrogant little shit. His missus was a f*cking munter as well.

You want to kneecap Santa while you're at it?

Download "Carribean Amphibean". That little green farker was all class.

No, I think the day release programme is a good thing.

Yeah, that prick cost me plenty while my kids were growing up. Never came through on his promises.

OK! Elmo. No-one could have a problem with Elmo.

This is fun and keeping Dello happy.

Nah. Dello is a closet Sesame fan
