I’ve succumbed to a quiz

Perhaps my fondness for the Muppets and Sesame Street has gone too far and now I’m doing a quiz on this blogger. I never thought I would, but hey — it’s Sesame Street. I lived and died by the show when I was a wee lad. I promise that this will not become a regular feature. (And, yes, I’m well aware of the irony of apologizing for not updating this blogger more often on a day when I’ve done four separate entries before 2 p.m.)

    Um. Okay. That was…well…sick. But I, too, am The Count’s OCD. Yay me.

    See? We’re learning about ourselves as we learn about each other. This is a big first step in the world of the VandS blog.

    Or, it’s just good space filler that tickled my funnybone in an odd way.

    Most of the disorders were…amusing. But the ELMO one: That was seriously disturbing. I won’t be able to watch The Street with my kids for a while. That’s going to leave a permanent emotional scar.

    I was the cookie monster! :D The only sad thing for me was how many questions had gay overtones. I mean, sheesh, what is it with our culture. Everybody’s obsessed with seeing homosexuality in everything. I’ve heard three people say they thought Sam and Frodo from LOTR are gay. Now it’s extended to sesame street. Har har har. Not funny. Oh well. The rest of the quiz was “interesting”.

    Hey Paul,

    Yup, homosexuality is hip in modern media today. And I agree with you — it’s gone overboard with everyone rethinking as much stuff as they can in that light. It used to be funny with Bert and Ernie or Batman and Robin. Nowadays, two men can’t be friends in a movie or television series without someone seriously suggesting gay overtones.

    I remember there was a pretty terrific FRASIER episode in one of its early seasons. Frasier made a new friend, not realizing the guy was gay and hitting on him. It was hilarious.

    Then every other sit-com started doing the same plot, or something very similar. Then reality TV came along with its token slots for gay cast members, and whole TV shows began revolving around it.

    We’ve gone way past the “10%” mark now, if you even believe that number. Even worse, it’s not that funny anymore. Just repetitive.
