So... Cookie Monster was fresh off the boat from China or fresh off the train from a Rez in Oklahoma when Sesame Street hired him?
That almost makes sense to me!

Cookie Monster was the original illegal immigrant; after all, they only paid him in Chips Ahoy.

At least they didn't call him [shudder!] "Cookie Puss."

They tried to, but the Muppet Anti-Defamation League put a stop to it. (Even illegal muppets have some rights.)

Okay, back to randomness:
I just got back from picking up a few things at the supermarket. Total cost as appearing on the receipt: $6.66.

I was at the supermarket a few weeks ago, and the bill came to the exact year of my birth.
(Okay, so I'm semi-random. Sue me.)

Ooh, I have poison claws and blew up a small country. I mothered a child with a superhero. I HATE HIM! I love him. HATE HIM! Love him. HATE HIM! Did I mention I have poison claws?
I'm the world's greatest dad and my children don't appreciate me. Join my team and I'll give you what you want but I won't tell you how because I know everything and it's a secret. AAH I've been fighting children my entire life!
