Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Warning: Scary Michael Douglas picture enclosed.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Warning: Much scarier than usual Michael Douglas picture.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Also, have you ever tried to mash celery in the fabric mouth of a puppet? Celery does not go to crumbs in nearly as charming a fashion as cookies do. If he were to try to eat a carrot, we might end up with a Phineas Gage Monster.

Which would be entertaining! But perhaps not right for Sesame Street.

COOKIE MONSTER IS A COOKIE MONSTER.

Why do they have such a problem with this? Didn't they also make Oscar the Grouch nicer? And Sunffalupagus the invisible friend visible?

Man, they are just fucking up Sesame Street. Don't even get me started on Elmo.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

But there was a Captain Vegetable on Sesame Street, right? Or was that on some other kids' show? I remember the theme song: "It is I, Captain Vegetable, with my carrots and my celery..."

eta: ooh, another good gift suggestion.
