The Count's Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

It started with a simple affection for counting and
the terror it induced in others, didn't it?
But now it's turned into a full-blown
life-consuming chaotic nightmare of order,
repetition, zealousness, and perfectionism.
You used to be so grand, but now you find
yourself obsessively worrying over the littlest
things--like, maybe if you don't check the
light switch at least once every two minutes,
the electricity will go out (and damnit, you're
a vampire--that shouldn't be a problem!), or
maybe if you don't wash your hands until your
seams are coming out, you'll get some fatal
disease. Get yourself some treatment.

Which Sesame Street Muppet's Dark Secret Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

Well, honestly, I'm not surprised at all at this answer. Though I probably would have preferred getting gay Bert and Ernie, this fits me a lot better. I was acutally thinking of Big Bird hallucinating (everyone thinking Snuffy wasn't real, etc.) but that wasn't even one of the choices :-( What about Oscar? He's seriously bipolar and lives in trash. I'm surprised he didn't make the list either. Like that guy... what's his name? Stan? The guy who carries Oscar's trash can around for him... totally an indentured servent... what's his name? *pulls out her Sesame Street Unpaved book* Damn. It didn't tell. Anyone remember his name? He was orange and dressed as a trashman... Biff? (Not Biff... Biff and Sully were construction workers) Gus? He carried Oscar's can around. Like in the holiday special, he went ice skating with Oscar in his can. Huh. I KNOW I looked this up before. My memory is SOOO fading. Damn...

I think you're right. I think the character's name is Stan. The big guy in the blue coveralls thing. He wasn't really a muppet but a guy in a full costume thing like Big Bird? Yeah, Stan, or something like that.

Ohhh thank you! It was starting to drive me crazy. Right, he was a tall guy in costume. Just used as a way to get Oscar in his can to different locations. Poor Stan *sniffles*
Thank you!

I got the Count too...which doesn't surprise me one bit, what with my compulsive e-mail and internet use, my alphabetical organization of DVD's (by Japanese name, if it's anime), and my tendency to become very, very obsessed with shows/movies.

Oh, a heads up for you if you get Cartoon Network. The animated version of LOTR is on tonight at 7pm EST, and the animated ROTK is on next Sunday. I plan on taping these, if for no other reason than my need to have a complete archive of LOTR-related media. It's a shame I missed taping 'The Hobbit' last Sunday when it was on, though I guess I won't be too disappointed missing out on the singing orcs and shrunken, green-skinned Mirkwood Elves *shudders*

Oohh I organize my DVDs based on the shape of the DVD package (those ones from WB in the more rectangular packages can't just be mixed in anywhere!) and then by type of movie and actor. So I'll start with SW on one side and then go through Ewan movies, then Liam... then more general drama. Or one shelf will be horrible movies I bought just for actors, organized by actor and show I like him in. Or another for comedies, based on type of comedy (adventure, pointless, etc.) And then I go from LotR books to LotR DVDs to Chronicles of Narnia DVDs to the 10th Kingdom to Harry Potter... it's all logical in my head. But, yeah, I'm anal. But... wow... alphabetical by Japanese name! Good on you!! :-)

Oohhh thanks for letting me know about the LotR movies! I have The Hobbit and the Bakshi LotR on DVD (the latter was in the $7 bin at Walmart, I just couldn't resist) But I haven't seen the animated RotK since I was much younger. And it would be nice to have both LotR and RotK on one whole tape...

Yeah, boyfriend saw a little of The Hobbit and stopped watching it because he didn't like it (gee, can't imagine why!) I told him he should have stuck around for the elves at least! *sigh* Poor Legolas... to have come from such a people... LOL

Thank you for the notices on the movies!!!!! :-)

I must admit, the first time I took the quiz, I ended up as Suicidal Snuffy, so perhaps I should have put that on my LJ. However, Ernie has been my role model for quite some time, and when I met a man who admired Bert, well, it felt positively predestined.

Now, if only CTW would release a second Best of Bert and Ernie tape, and include the *good* bits this time, all the classic sketches that I recall from my youth when the show was in its own infancy. I'd settle for a compilation of Monsterpiece Theatre, but the old sketches like "Ernie runs out of string," "Bert wears cooking pot as a hat" and the lovely "Bert sneezes his nose off, only to have Ernie spend three minutes trying to reattach it" are much closer to my crotchety old heart.

Awww, I'm definitely a Bert person. I was always getting annoyed with Ernie doing silly things he should have known better about. I'd roll my eyes at his "I 1 the sandbox, I 2 the sandbox, etc." game, for example. And I totally sing "My favorite number is 6" all the time to myself for no real reason except that I love his reasoning. Because my favorite number isn't six, but it's a great song.

Oh, I completely agree! Did the first one have the banana-in-the-ear sketch? I loved that one :-) Ohhh but the string! The one where he's using the pieces of string to remember to buy more string- sooo classic! heehee But I must admit the Bert sneezing one was LOVELY. There's reference to it in my Sesame Street Unpaved book, even, so I am sure it's as classic as I feel it it!
I had a lot of Sesame Street tapes as a kid but my favorite one was one of two that were destoryed (left out in the sun on a hot day, I think it was) and had a skit where Bert had a cold. I cannot for the life of me remember what happened in the skit... I remember something about him looking out a window in his bedroom but not going out because he had a cold... and then Ernie coming in... but I don't remember what the point of the skit was. I have since rewritten it in my head so many times that I'm sure I've lost the real plotline long ago *pouts*

[vatergrrl.livejournal.com]

I have a vague recollection that Ernie comes into the bedroom, where Bert's in bed/asleep, and says, "Someone on Sesame Street has a cold. I'm going to figure out who that person is!" Then he lists all of the things that people with colds do, like sleeping "even though it's the middle of the day," and drinking lots and lots of juice. Bert, of course, is doing all of those things, just as Ernie is mentioning them, but Ernie, in his infinite concern for others, doesn't notice Bert's requests for juice or anything else, saunters back out to leave Bert alone (and still wanting some juice).

I'll have to consult my Bert expert, may have gotten a lot of the details wrong.

*DIES of astonishment*
THAT'S IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*DIES AGAIN* Totally, oohhh my GODS! That's it!!! A bloody, I dunno, 20 years maybe I've been trying to remember what it's about?! And that's it! I mean, vague, yes(the details are equally fuzzy to me, but the part about the juice and especially the sleeping during the day part)... but that's totally that's what it was... is... was, you know what I mean. WOW! Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!

Damn, I wish I knew something about Law and Order and could repay you for that! I've seen maybe 2 episodes. It's on every day on my tv but I am usually in the other room.

Man... wow... *HUGE HUGS!!!!* Thank you!!!!
*goes all bouncy-happy now*
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!
