I'll admit it. The threads around here are mostly making me feel like an idiot, so I'm bringing this one down to my level.

My favorite character from Sesame Street was Don Music. That's the guy that would bang his head against the piano and shout "I'll never get it...never never never!!"

I also liked the guy at Grover's restaurant with the fly in his soup.

I am far too old to have a favortuie character from sesame street. Besides, wasn't sesame street some sort of commie plot? Or maybe that was the Electric Co.?

I liked Cookie Monster, Oscar the Grouch, Forgetful Jones, and Guy Smiley.

Cookie Monster was wonderful because he was blue, which is my favorite color. Cookies are also my favorite sweet. This blue monster would consume an incredible amount of cookies in a very short period of time. I've always admired that.

Oscar the Grouch was completely oblivious to what others thought of him. He lived in a garbage can, which was not an ideal living setting, but he didn't care. He also had the nerve to call Big Bird and Snuffy on all their bullshit.

Forgetful Jones was a lovable cowboy who was cursed with a short memory. He would be entrusted with important information but his memory would cause him to inevitably fail. Although he was forgetful, he would always remember to speak his pitiful catchphrase, "Ooooh, ah forgot."

Guy Smiley was just a wonderful newscaster who was smoooove with the ladies. He was Ron Burgundy before Ron Burgundy.

Grover, of course!

Also, am I the only one bothered that Elmo always talks about himself in the third person?

Well, what more could we expect from a guy that talks to his goldfish and hangs with the noodle family?

Mr Noodle! I never liked the dead guy too much, but I loved Bill Irwin when he was Mr. Noodle's cousin or borther or whatever strange demented connection they supposedly had. (I watched him when my youngest was watching).

Super Grover kills me. Even today.

Lefty was great because he was always selling something to Ernie and his catch phrase, "riiiiiight" was awesome.

Harvey Kneeslapper is another one that makes me laugh when his jokes and pranks backfire.

So, I actually bring this topic up because we have tickets to Sesame Street Live this week.
I'm so excited! Last year I was honked by a honker.

I used to include Ernie in my prayers as a child. I was always partial to Slimey the Worm, Oscar's pet.

Definitely Cookie Monster. I used to stare at him eat the cookies and pray that one of those times, the cookies would stay in his mouth instead of falling back out as crumbs. I drove my mom crazy with playing my cassette tape of "C is for Cookie" on it.
