Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 11, 2012
Transcript:
Goat: This protest is stupid. Rat: Stupid? There's an entire generation of young men out there who can't get jobs. So instead of buying homes and starting families, they're stuck living with friends in crappy, one-room apartments. Goat: Fin. But what's that have to do with Sesame Street?? Rat: They promote it. Goat: Promote it how?! Ernie: Bert and I would like to go to sleep now. Rat: Pipe down, you brainwashing muppet.

they influence too much…….. “The count” started the current Vampire trend, and Kermit started the “real life reports” and thus reality TV

too bad big bird died…he’d have that rat for lunch.
naturally_easy almost 13 years ago
oops…wrong info….I heard Carrol Spinney, who is the puppeteer for Big Bird, had died. According to Google, that is incorrect. So watch out rat!

“B” is a long way from “W”… Maybe too much PBR while reading PBS?

I must say, Rat is well turned-out for his new role. I love the cigarette, shades and do-rag. Right On, Rat.

They do promote the gay agenda. :(
SusanSunshine Premium Member almost 13 years ago
To Yatman’s wife — Thanks so much for telling us, and for coming back to answer at what must be a difficult time.
I’m really sad to hear it, though. He was very funny, and seemed like such a nice guy. He’ll be missed.
(I even enjoyed the way he explained “yat man” on his profile, if you haven’t seen it.)
Please come back, any time you feel up to it. So sorry for your loss.
SusanSunshine Premium Member almost 13 years ago
Also wanted to say “Thanks, StelBel.”
I hope there’s a chance that Mrs. Yatman will see the later comments.

Poor Bert and Ernie. No one deserves to have Rat occupy his house….

Sesame Street was introduced into some foreign countries, but at least one country complained that Sesame Street was hurting its kids’ intellects.
BE THIS GUY almost 13 years ago
Somebody should setup Bert on a blind date.
Harryfan almost 13 years ago
I think that Bert & Ernie need to call in an exterminator.
