When he was little, my brothers favourite insult was pumpkin head from the great pumpkin episode of Charlie Brown, which we had on VHS. He’d walk around the supermarket shouting ‘outta mah way, punkinhead’ and they wouldn’t have a clue what he was on about.
Love the Bahlsen heist Thing. And could not be happier that my favourite biscuit is named after someone who was not only a philosopher but a librarian 😁
By coincidence (or maybe not, as it was apparently Cookie Monster's birthday a couple of days ago) I have recently learnt from one of Adam Sharp's excellent lists on Threads (adam.c.sharp) that the German for Cookie Monster is the very pleasing Krümelmonster, which translates as crumbs monster. At least that's what Adam says. He could tell me anything and I would believe him.
What a lovely cornucopia of a post this week - thank you! My son was obsessed by Cars and Trucks and Things That Go for a while and our copy of it was stuck back together with gaffer tape more than once. Dingo Dog careering through the pages, mad, bad and dangerous to know.
And good to know that the great John Finnemore is on here!
I agree with you regarding the added music in most videos. It's awful and takes away from the thing I'm watching.

Thanks! We still have my falling-apart copy of What Do People Do All Day from the 1970s, and our son was equally gripped by it for a while.
