Nothing but respect for Sesame Street and everyone involved. Thank you to Caroll Spinney for being part of an enriching but entertaining cultural institution. Similar to Mr. Rogers, Sesame Street is/was TV at a different pace with different goals.

Since Caroll Spinney played Oscar The Grouch, here are some fun Oscar facts: Oscar's favourite desserts are spinach sardine chocolate fudge sundaes and mashed bananas with ice cubes and cold beef gravy. Oscar is Canadian, born in New Brunswick.[1]

He is also known for bringing life to Big Bird, and, by extension, Granny Bird!

Not exactly hacker news, but Sesame Street stuff is pretty closely tied to hacker ethos...RIP.
