today is a google holiday, hooray!

Today’s Google Holiday: 40th Anniversary of Sesame Street. What a fun one, right?! My two tipsters were both all “AHHH such a cute Google Holiday today!” And it is a cute Google Holiday! Big Bird, people! Who was your favorite Sesame Street character? Mine was Snuffaluffagus:

Though my mom claims my favorite was Grover:

But come on, what do moms know?

Also, speaking of Sesame Street, several of my friends — including Worthless Guest Blogger Shannon — worked as the characters at Sesame Street in high school. As in they wore things like full Elmo costumes and danced around. True story.

What I was Googling: IPPE

I have lots of other things to write about, but Top Chef is on soon. Let’s just say I had a bizarro day, which has culminated in my drinking red wine and (you guessed it!) wearing my flannel nightgown.

    Hey Mal- guess what? Joan Ganz Cooney, the creator of the Sesame Workshop (the organization that produces Sesame Street)…. is a THETA. Bam!

    You keep talking to me like that and I’ll make sure you get locked in a room with Carter for three hours on Thanksgiving. It will be at my house, not Liz’s. You won’t be given any booze, and she won’t be given any toys.

    You forgot to mention that your favorite friend was a Sesame Street character for Halloween! The oft-forgotten and rarely loved Oscar the Grouch, to be specific. My entourage of streeters and I have been congratulated a whole lot on our cuteness. Cuter than a google holiday, perhaps. Hmmm.
