4 gallons of urine? ('Sesame Street' Wednesday)

It would hardly be Wednesday if it wasn't a 'Sesame Street' Wednesday. Wednesday is always a good 'Sesame Street' watching day. Even today, after I took the Peace Bike out all day, I owe you a classic 'Sesame Street' clip!

This time, the Number Painter is back. And he's such a cool dude that he's gonna paint a 4! Because that's what cool people do, I guess...



Evidently, that clip had been yanked from YouPube before because it hurt some right-winger's pwecious widdle feewings, but it's back now.

The woman with the umbrella is played by Stockard Channing. Channing is known for her many acting roles and for singing that song from the 'Grease' soundtrack that has the piano notes near the end that are the same as those of the unknown instrument at the beginning of "The Chipmunk Song."

Hilarity ensues at the end of this sketch when a chamberpot appears to be dumped onto the Number Painter and Stockard Channing from an apartment above. Before the days of plumbing, chamberpots were emptied of pee in this manner. And if people were standing below, that was too bad for them.

Maybe 4 is how many gallons of urine were in the chamberpot.

Four!
