I always knew that Ernie was the stabilizing force for Bert. He was the social one, the happy one, the one who always went, "Tee hee hee hee" while playing with rubber duckies. Just watch this video of Bert gone

It is always an exciting afternoon when the FAO Schwarz holiday catalog arrives. While I may still be planning my Halloween activities, it is never too early to sit down and thumb through the book of extravagant toys for children of all ages. This year's edition was filled with massive stuffed animals and a $10,000 military ATV, but what really caught my eye was the new
Muppet Whatnot Workshop that is due to open next week.
You know you've thought about it before. What's up, you wondered, with those permanent bachelors Bert and Ernie? The Broadway musical Avenue Q, inspired by Sesame Street characters all grown up with adult troubles, has an awesome song Nicky (the Ernie-ish character) sings to Rod (the Burt character).

The new season will feature a host of guest celebrity appearances, including Will Arnett, Jessica Alba, David Beckham, Heidi Klum, Neil Patrick Harris, Sandra Oh, Jenny McCarthy, Jason Taylor, and Jack Black.
If your
Garbage Pail Kids cards are long forgotten (or Pokemon perhaps?) it might be time for a new set to collect and trade. Who might be better than a pack of media luminaries who've changed the tenor of discourse? The folks at
