Childhood fun

Reason got me all nostalgic with this link to a review of the Sesame Street Discography. Sadly, since Elmo became the SS major marketing focus, it has become a test of endurance to deal with Sesame Street. With all the wonderful characters on Sesame Street, why in the world do they choose the monster with the speech impediment, hyperactivity, and hypoglycemia to be their face in the world? Do you know how hard it is to find a Big Bird doll, or Bert and Ernie? It's nearly impossible to find Oscar. I hadn't seen a Snuffleupagus for years until last week (and it was only a balloon). Thankfully, Cookie Monster is making a bit of a comeback. Though no more 'C is for Cookie!'

For a trip back to your childhood check out Progressive Boink's 25 favorite Sesame Street Memories. This is great and includes downloads (probably illegal now) of the Martians, the Twelve Song, and the Teeny Little Super Guy Song. The only thing missing is Rubber Ducky.
