n. obs. Original term, pre-Sesame-Street, for what is now universally called a cookie monster. A correspondent observes In those days, hackers were actually getting their yucks from...sit down now...Andy Williams. Yes, that Andy Williams. Seems he had a rather hip (by the standards of the day) TV variety show. One of the best parts of the show was the recurring cookie bear sketch. In these sketches, a guy in a bear suit tried all sorts of tricks to get a cookie out of Williams. The sketches would always end with Williams shrieking (and I don't mean figuratively), No cookies! Not now, not ever...NEVER!!! And the bear would fall down. Great stuff.
