What is this critter with Big Bird called?
Sound it out slowly. How would you spell it?
My whole life he’s been the Snuffaluffagus. ALL Fs, mo fo. ALL Fs!!!! Well, wasn’t I horrified when I found out he’s the Snuffleupagus. WHAT THE HELL IS THAT??? It’s a travesty, that’s what it is. There ain’t no Ps in his name. That’s just wrong.
He will forever in my heart be the Snuffaluffagus. Period.
Okay, that was a weird post.🙂 It was just one of those things where I’m like…wha??? Wha??? P? Really? Yeah, I’m going to shut up now.
HUGS from a fruitcake!
I totally figured from the title that this had to do with the recent Elmo scandal.

The SnuFFaluFFagus only made rare appearances. He was Big Bird’s friend and it was so cool when he’d show up because it didn’t happen often.🙂 As for the counters, the guy from the distributors is coming out tomorrow to check it out. Keep your fingers crossed. The first guy thought they should definitely be replaced, but the guy tomorrow is the final word. Please God let him see what a mess they are and replace them.🙂

I once had a similar mind shattering moment when I learned that the words to Winter Wonderland are actually, “In the meadow we can build a snowman…and pretend that he is Parson Brown.” I always thought it was, “In the meadow we can build a snowman, and pretend that he is possum brown.” I know, why would anyone pretend a snowman is possum brown? No matter. That day rocked my world. 😉

I like a possum brown!!!! I vote that your words should be the right ones.🙂 Who even knows who Parson Brown is anyway? And opossums are adorable.🙂 Not that I want anyone else to have childhood memories shattered, but I’m glad you understand the world rocking something like that can be!😉

You just managed to break my heart–like you, I thought Mr. S was spelled with a bunch of Fs…next I suppose you’re going to tell me that Bert and Ernie are more than just best friends, best friends who have sleep-overs and tickle each other and wrestle and spend all of their time together!

I knew it was Snuffleupagus!! I CAN, however, hear my own versions of almost any song whenever I feel like it🙂 Ask me some time what I think the lyrics are to “Hair of the Dog” by Nazarath ( I tried that 8 times and still am not sure that’s spelled right!)

It’s just wrong, I tells ya! Wrong! NO Ps!!!!🙂 Oh gosh, I can’t even imagine trying to get those lyrics right. I, like you, sing my own dang versions. To heck with what they are supposed to be! As for spelling Nazareth, I have NO clue either! My spelling is a lucky guess.🙂

I have great sympathy with you. It’s hard to have illusions shattered. My hearing would probably have let me down too as a child but I don’t remember that far back. I know that Israelites by Desmond Decker allowed me to intersperse whatever I thought from moment to moment because I couldn’t understand what he sang. It was great fun to see a version later with prompt cards showing ‘Me ears are alight’ which is what I’d always sung.
By the By, Bert n’ Ernie tell me they’re not that way inclined but have no problems with anyone who is.

OMG! You are going to think this is funny, but my friends used to call my hubby the Snuffleupagus because he’s not big on coming to parties and things. And I thought it was Snuffaluffagus too! I had no idea there was a “p” in his name. My friends set me straight (I didn’t believe them), but my mom got me a Snuffleupagus puppet (yes, I am a giant kid), and, sure enough. It has a “P!” Crap! I still can’t bring myself to say it that way though. I’ll stick with “Snuffy” now. Only “f’s”.
