On my way to where the air is sweet
Posted by pete at April 4, 2005 6:48 AMA couple things crossed my mind while sitting through Sesame Street the other morning (or, as my daughter views it, the 35-minute opening act for Elmo's World):
Cookie Monster readily demonstrates his willingness to eat pretty much anything lying around, but would he resort to feasting on human flesh if no cookies were to be found? He ate a letter 'T' to see if cookies were stored inside it, for example. What's to stop him from devouring someone he just saw eating cookies for the same reason?
I'll point out that I can't recall ever seeing him actually eating meat.
Oh, and the bearded half of the two-headed Muppet (the one on the right):
Reminds me of System of a Down's Serj Tankian:
That is all. For now.
He used to be the Kindergartner Monster, before he got old and lost all his teeth.
he should definitely bite the head off a few chocolate Easter bunnies, gummy bears and teddy grahams on the way.
I read recently that Cookie Monster will be cutting down on his cookie intake to send a more "positive" message to his preschool-aged viewers. The way it was put, he'll still eat cookies but sing a song called "A Cookie is a Sometimes Food."
No word if Grover will be taking steps to counter his ADD.
The System of a Down crack gets my vote for Best Pete Pop Culture Reference of 2005 So Far.
I agree, Curmudgeon, Pete has used the "separated at birth" technique here very well. Even Serj's expression matches that of the muppet's - very funny! Pete you should work for ESPN's Page 2, they have a similar feature with athletes and celebrities they resemble.
No word if Grover will be taking steps to counter his ADD.
That ain't ADD. I've seen that look- he's clearly on the junk.
I'm somewhat creative, but ultimatley an untalented slacker. So somebody needs to take this idea and run with it: a flash animation short of a giant Cookie Monster rampaging through a ginger bread Tokyo.
