YAY! Corduroy flares!
(Looks like fun, but I’d rather be Bert and avoid sniffing the pit.)

[Update: Mrs. Strutts ID'd Frank Oz on the right, but doesn't know who Ernie's right hand man is. Of course, that's Jim Henson's in the middle.]

Now I know why Ernie always ate more cookies than Bert.

amy– Thanks. Webminers rule.
plane– Don’t keep the secret to yourself. Cough it up. We’re all friends here.

Ernie ate more cookies because … he liked cookies more.
… or possibly because he had 2 hands that were functionably.

Of course. Bert didn’t have opposable thumbs. Good catch.

I refuse to believe that is real. Also, I added links to your site from two more of my blogs, whatsforschoollunch.blogspot.com, and interestingemailforwards.blogspot.com
I’m sad now, you have ruined my weekend.

NC– Muchisimas grassyass for the linkoids. Sorry about your weekend, but let’s put the blame where it belongs. Go kick Jim Henson’s butt for allowing the photo to be taken. Oh wait. He’s dead… and you blew your chance.

That third man would be Richard Hunt who did the voices of Statler, Sweetums, Janice, Scooter, Beaker, among others.

Potzo– Thanks for the update. Beaker was one of my favorites.
