Biff and Sully get mad! ('Sesame Street' Wednesday)

Remember Biff and Sully? They were a pair of hardhat-wearing Muppet construction workers on 'Sesame Street'. They were cool.

Sully seemed to be plagued by a permanent case of laryngitis. His mouth moved, but no sound ever came out - forcing Biff to be his personal interpreter. In addition, Biff resembled Klinger from 'M*A*S*H'.

Today, we're profiling one 'Sesame Street' sketch - reportedly from the '80s - that you'll probably never see today. In this segment, Sully and Biff get angry about having to work late. They get so mad, they just want to go piss in Kermit's pond! They get so mad, they just want to hurl an Atari Basic Reference Manual across their boss's office so the pages fly out!



You probably won't see this sketch today, because these days, people are encouraged to hold in their feelings - especially in shows and products for children.

I fear for our country's future as today's children are being taught to hold in their anger. America needs to bring back this Biff and Sully segment at once!

Or I'm gonna get angry!
