If you use Google or have read the news, you'd probably know about the fact that Sesame Street is turning 40. How times have changed! I remember when the Cookie Monster lived up to his name, eating any cookie he found (and everything else for that matter) with great abandon. I remember counting with the Count (A-HA-HA-HA! 8-8-bats!). I remember Oscar the Grouch and his less than pleasant demeanor. And, one of my favourites, Snuffle-up-a-Guess (how do you spell that, anyways??) I remember Ernie (Hey Rubber Duckie!) and Bert (I never knew how intelligent pigeons were).

Ah.. how it's changed over the years and become more clean (I remember reading an editorial recently about the upcoming 40th and the commentator mentioned this -- and he was right!). No longer does it seem like a street from the inner city but rather a street from the 'burbs. I never quite got Elmo (and apparently he did not so nice things to kids language skills).
