    See Google's tribute to Sesame's 40th anniversary?

    [www.huffingtonpost.com]

    Though prefer Google UK's Wallace & Gromit nod that ran the same day. #bigbird

    Dear BB,

    Let me channel my inner three-year old and ask a question that's been bothering me since the late 70s...

    Are you corn? #bigbird

    Dear Big Bird

    Fact: I still really resent you coming to life and terrorizing me when I made the ill advised choice to drop acid and go to Toys R Us back in 1989.
    My question is : Can you get me Luis' number? I still think he's pretty hot. #bigbird

    Dear Big Bird:

    I'm 23 years old and a lifelong resident of Orleans. My mom is a barmaid at the Cats Meow down on Bourbon Street. I'm seven and a half feet tall and covered in yellow feathers. I think you know where I'm headed with this.

    Help me understand: 'China.' Can you explain the political situation in China in three sentences? #classicgawker #bigbird

    Dear Big Bird,

    You may not remember me, but in the late '70s, you and I dropped massive amounts of hallucinogens. The details aren't important, but when I came to, my apartment was covered in blood and you had disappeared, which brings me to my question:

    Will you speak at my upcoming parole hearing? It'll clear up the dispute regarding evidence bag BB1, and might possibly allow me to see sunlight again.

    Thanks,
    -Toast. #bigbird

    Weird fact that I know for absolutely no reason at all:

    When not filming, all the puppets (muppets) hang from the rafters like soulless, disembodied stuffed animals, dead to the world. I hear if you tour the set during those times, it's creepy in a Jim Henson vortex of eerie puppet monster kind of way. Not for kids. Kids will cry and want to know where Elmos go when Elmos die, and ostensibly you'll have to say "Elmo Heaven" and then that'll just open up a whole thing about the meaning of life, the death of loved ones and pets, and perhaps some faint connection between Tickle-me-Elmo toys and "good touch" and "bad touch" and no one really wants that. #bigbird

    How come the Tickle Me Big Bird dolls sound so uncomfortable? Unlike Elmo, who sounds like he's genuinely laughing and having fun, you say "Ha ha ha, that's fun-ny." in a depressing voice. #bigbird

    @VioletViolet: Elmo costs more and Kevin Clash has a producer credit.

    So what happened with the whole American Apparel deal? Is it true the original model was also a chick with long legs? #bigbird

    Dear Big Bird,

    Are there ways that newspapers can attract younger readers while maintaining their journalistic integrity?

    Just wondering. #bigbird

    Dear Big Bird,

    Whatever happened to you when my mom threw you away without telling me when I was 4 years old? She later told me it was because I had loved you so much your stuffing came out, but I think she's a dirty rotten liar.

    Love you always,
    Miss P #bigbird

    Dear Big Bird:

    Don't you find it strange that Mr. Hooper disappeared as soon as he started selling poultry? And that you "took some time off" right after his disappearance? Snuffy's not here to get you out of this one, pal. Answer the fucking questions!!! #bigbird
