What next? Is Oscar going to be rich and nice?

Nooooo, not Cookie Monster. The cookie defined him, it was his existence and now he's on a diet!?

I think we all need to learn that cookies are a "sometimes" food.

I always thought the Cookie Monster, like, represented the madcap, sugar-craving child within us all. I thought Sesame Street had quite a nice balance of characters in that respect. There was definitely a power struggle going on.

I will always like his googly eyes.

Big Bird was the repressed homosexual. He wasn't that repressed, having said that.

Bert n' Ernie were open homosexuals.

Bert- Ernie...
Ernie- What Bert?
Bert- Why cant you stick your cock up my ass?

I remember getting a parody of "Nookie" (guess what this one was called) off of Kazaa back in the day. It was hilarious.

He's going to be eating fewer cookies, not zero, and they're not changing his name or anything. This is more than worth it if it'll cut down on the number of fatties in the world.

Got that, Del? Cookies are a "sometimes" food.

The Cookie Monster will now be simply eating a variety of different foods. However, this now means that it will not look like an obsession with cookies. Instead, he now has an eating disorder.

Pachacamac has no eyes. He's like a zombie.

Do they still call him the Cookie Monster?

When I was a kid, I saw the episode where Cookie first tried vegetables. He didn't want to at first, but was convinced to and loved them. He still loved cookies more than anything, but was willing to eat vegetables. This is nothing new. It's a rehash and maybe an expansion of a really old skit.

Yeah, I remember that "healthy food" Cookie Monster skit.

Healthy food, tastes so goooood,
Healthy food, healthy food!

Actually, I remember that, and I must've been about six years old last time I saw it. It had singing loaves of bread and stuff.

Dunjohn · Post by **Dunjohn** » Sat Apr 09, 2005 12:29 pm

See, I just don't get that. And I see it all the time. A happy, upright pig wearing a butcher's apron on a pack of sausages. A picture of a great big lettuce with a smiling face on a lettuce bag. And of course, food puppets on Sesame Street singing about their desire for euthanasia.

Maybe seeing all this happy smiling food singing obliviously appeals to some subconscious hunter instinct.

I know. I saw a butcher's window mascot aged seven, made a connection, and never ate meat again.
