Jcat, one of miniKK's soccer teammates had a technique where he would run at an opposing player during training yelling "Cookie Monster!". It really put them off their stride. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22848#post-468758 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 18:12:46 +0000 cricketsmama 468758@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I love the ma-mun-a-nah monster...Wayne has that as one of his cell phone ringers :)<br /> I used to LOVE Grover!!! and Snufalupagus(sp)...<br /> I have to admit Maddie doesn't watch SS at all. She loves Elmo though and knows the characters... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22848#post-468757 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 18:10:55 +0000 jcat 468757@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hee hee, my (little) brother Dominic and his best friend Philip (he had red hair and a huge smile and was a real firecracker) perfected a routine based on the Cookie Monster... In fact, whenever I think of Philip I see him saying "Cookie" in a Cookie Monster voice... I think he's a Buddhist monk now but I'm not sure.... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22848#post-468753 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 18:05:24 +0000 Moonshadow_NZ 468753@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>KK had issues with Oscar the Grouch's name. Heaven help anyone who pronounced Oscar the Kiwi way. It HAD to be pronounced as Aarscar. She would throw a right royal hissy fit if we didn't say it as she deemed correct. It got to the stage we wouldn't go near her if Sesame Street was on in case we earned the wrath of KK. That said she learned so much from SS, right back at the beginning.<br /> Oh the yip-yip aliens, you should see KK,Airy,Meegz miniKK and myself when we get together at Christmas. We do the yip-yips and the ma-nun-a-nah songs and any others we can think of. We laugh until our ribs hurt and tears streak our faces. There will always be 'the kid' in us and it's fun to let them out to play. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22848#post-468747 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 17:59:04 +0000 Vicki 468747@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Can you tell me how to get/ How to get to Sesame Street? OMG, I grew up watching Sesame Street; I loved Cookie Monster, Big Bird was cool, Oscar the Grouch had issues, Grover was too weird for me, I loved the Yip-Yip aliens, the Count rocked, - exactly when did Elmo come into the picture? When I became too old to watch? - can you tell I'm a '70s child? I loved the animated segments that were, for lack of a better description, psychedelic. I also liked the slice of life segments that showed what real children did on a daily basis, although I was sad because I thought those children were better than me because they got to be on TV and I didn't. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22848#post-468741 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 17:42:56 +0000 Moonshadow_NZ 468741@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>KK owes all she knows about counting and the alphabet to Sesame Street.<br /> Ma-num-a nah! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22848#post-468654 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 11:54:30 +0000 2 Popoki 468654@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>The show was a great baby-sitter when I needed to get ready for work in the morning ! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22848#post-468653 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 11:53:42 +0000 jeankit 468653@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>WHY IS TODAY A GREAT DAY BECAUSE Y IS FOR YIP YIPS OR YAY!
