With technology moving so fast, even cookie monster have started to worry!

This one might actually be better than yesterday's Big Bird. In any case, loving the Sesame Street birthday celebrations this week.

When I was young, we used to say that food was yummy. A childish version of tasty and probably just a smidge below delicious.
I’ve noticed that there is a proliferation of the phrase nom nom nom which seems to cover the whole gamut from ‘ooh that sounds great why didn’t you invite me you mean person’ to ‘I’ve just baked, it looks ugly but tastes pretty good’.
It’s not that I’m against new words and phrases, in fact I look forward to the day when one of my made up words enters the Oxford Dictionary. But I was perplexed. Why was it all noms and no yums? Is it because tasty and yummy now refers to eye candy rather than actual candy? Are we all descending into new levels of baby talk? WHY?
Like all sensible people I went to Google to find out more. Check out the full answers in the Urban Dictionary: http://bit.ly/4xgzH. In brief it is:
1. The sound made when people are eating and enjoying something
2. The sound Cookie Monster says when eating cookies
3. A way to agree that it’s time to eat (or an icebreaker)
If I may be frank with you, I don’t think points 1 and 2 sound particularly visually attractive. The third is just a little weird. I’m thinking that this is yet another example of something that is better typed than said, especially if you have a mouth full of cookies.
Turtle nomming on mashed potato from http://freakymartin.com I really love mashed potato. It is beyond delicious.
Cookie monster is always my favorite character! Even the cupcake version of him is eating a cookie! haha
Another brilliant turn of Cookie Monster as Alistair Cookie on Monsterpiece Theatre doing "Conservations With My Father". Everything with Cookie Monster is an instant classic and here the blue fuzzball goes "green"... maybe he should be called eCookie Monster... "Me get you drift Pop!"
Within the context of watching Sesame Street as a child, most of their short cartoon clips seemed completely normal. Outside of such a context these clips are small surreal bits that seem better matched with Sprockets than Sesame.
...and just because I couldn't resist, the Count's origin with Cookie
Monster. The best part - Cookie's exit at the very end!
