Sesame Street retains its satirical edge

I paraphrase from this morning's episode, currently being watched by Matilda and Lily.

Grumpy Customer: What's this?!
Grover: There you are sir, stirred not shaken, just like you asked for!
GC: Why does this always happen to me? I asked for my milkshake shaken, not stirred!!

This happens to me all the time. Homer: "It's funny because it's true."

Cookie Monster asks "Is me really monster?"

Tony Payne pointed me in the direction of Timothy McSweeney's Internet site recently. He wanted to show me the piece with David Caruso as the guy in CSI telling off the cat for going poo on the kitchen floor, but the one I laughed at even more was this one.

Me know. Me have problem.

Me love cookies. Me tend to get out of control when me see cookies. Me know it not natural to react so strongly to cookies, but me have weakness. Me know me do wrong. Me know it isn't normal. Me see disapproving looks. Me see stares. Me hurt inside.

I e-mailed it to Tony Wright and he liked it too.
