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.
