O is for Oscar the Grouch!

I dedicate this month-long challenge to children, with nephew Jeremy topping my list. Much thanks to the animated or more serious characters who agreed (or not) to conduct interviews this month. Sure, I had to promise them 80% of my profits, but a few are altruistic to the core. At least, that sounds good. Right? My point: Have fun reading this or doing something else. Give a child a hug today too.

~~!~~~~o~~~!~~~~o~~~[x]~~~~o~~~{!}~~~~o~~~&~~~~o

Robyn trollops skips innocently through the Paradise Toxic Waste Disposal Site. She stops abruptly at a trashcan in the center of the stinky field. Knocking on the lid, she shouts: Oscar! Oscar! I'd like to interview you. Please!? I couldn't find Olive Oyle, she's so skinny. Os are hard to come by, but I won't get into that during children's hour. Hello! Hello! Are you there?

Oscar: Go away! I'm busy loving my trash!

Determined, Robyn lifts the lid.

Oscar: I said go away! Leave us alone!

Robyn, scrounges through his trash. What have you here, Oscar?

Oscar: Alright! You asked for it. Here's some trash for you!

Oscar hits Robyn with a pair of pink sparkly, Elton John-style elevator shoes; a stack of century-old tabloids spotlighting Brad and Angelina's impending divorce; and a cursing Charlie Sheen (in the flesh).

Will Robyn recover for P? Many, many women have, so the odds look good.

Oscar the Grouch debuted on Sesame Street in the early 1970s. He's a brainchild of the show's head writer, Jon Stone, and muppet creator, Jim Henson. Initially, Oscar was an orange fellow displaying a dark unibrow. While his color's changed, his unibrow stuck. (No wonder he's grouchy.) John Lovelady crafted orange Oscar, and Caroll Spinney has performed the grouch since Oscar's first appearance. Who doesn't like Oscar, the world's best grouch?

  1. I think this entry should be dedicated to me. I've been grouchy a LOT lately. But, that's a good thing, right? I mean, look, Oscar gets publicity for being grouchy.

    I think this is my favorite entry of yours so far from the character interviews.

    PS: Is it really true that Brangelina are no longer going to be Brangelina???? I don't know if I can handle that.

  11. Robyn, you "trolloped?" You bad, bad girl.
    By the way, I usually recover for P. Generally in the middle of the night. But, I don't flush so as not to wake Mrs. Penwasser.
    You know..."If it's yellow, let it mellow..."

  13. Oscar was my favorite character when I was really young, so much so that I dressed up as him for Halloween one year. Gosh I used to sing his song all the time. "Yes I...love....trash!"

  17. I am really losing it. I accidentally omitted Jiu Jitsu's comment instead of my own. Sorry.

    Moreover, I had another stupid moment here. I didn't know I so blatantly misused the word "trolloping." I thought it meant innocent skipping. Really, I did. Oy vey.

    Forgive my stupidity and failure to think before pressing Publish.
