Savage Chickens by Doug Savage for October 23, 2018

Better ask Siri, then.

Exactly! It’s like all those people who are obsessed with wanting to know which state Springfield of The Simpsons is in. IT’S FICTIONAL! It’s not in ANY state!

Sesame Street is filmed in Kaufman Astoria Studios, Manhattan and Town Theater Town Theater, NYC, NY. If you ask your map browser, you can probably get directions to these places from where you are.

It’s between Captain Kangaroo’s Treasure House, and Mr. Rogers’s Neighborhood.

Cheers to Big Bird and Oscar’s puppeteer, Carroll Spinney. What a career. “Hi Mom and Dad, I am going to dance around in a 10’ yellow bird costume for 50 years.” I bet that went down like a lead balloon, but look at what you did with it. Thank you for being part of my childhood, and my son’s.

My son called it “Bernie’s.” He combined Bert and Ernie. He also thought it should be on the TV anytime he wanted to watch it! (ca.1972)

Make your own. First step: get the right bread.

And no, Virginia, there isn’t a Santa Claus.

Then there’s the joy of finding out that your fantasy place is real. Georgia from Breaking Cat News says her 5yo son got all excited when she told him she was going to the New York ComiCon. “New York City is REAL? That’s where the Ghostbusters work!” She made sure to get selfies with some Ghostbusters. I’m sure he was thrilled! (See @breakingcatnews on Instagram.)

Oh, & Daddy Chicken is a meanie!
