i love you tube. at times when i'm feeling nostalgic, or longing for my youth, i watch classic sesame street clips there. julie, jill, and i were products of sesame street. we watched it in the morning, at noon during lunch, and again in the afternoon. i think i appreciate the humor and wisdom of it more now as an adult, though.
i loved anytime john-john (above) was on the show. this rapunzel skit from the fourth sesaon is also one of my favorites (rapunzel with a brooklyn accent ~ hysterical):
here's poor grover, of course, as the incompetent waiter (also from the fourth season):
and do any of you remember "mahna mahna"? for years, i thought he was saying "phenomenon".
jim henson was a genius, wouldn't you agree? talk about a man who used his gifts to make the world a better place. wow.
oh, and by the way, did you realize that there is a wikipedia for muppets? seriously, it's called Muppet Wiki. if you're in to sesame street or the muppet show, it's kinda cool.
"A religious man is a person who holds God and man in one thought at one time, at all times, who suffers harm done to others, whose greatest passion is compassion, whose greatest strength is love and defiance of despair." - Abraham Joshua Heschel
