Water! ('Sesame Street' Wednesday)

There's no wa!

That battle cry has long been associated with a parody of commercials for Frisch's restaurants, a Cincinnati-based Big Boy chain.

But in the utopia of 'Sesame Street', there's always wa!

Peep this animated 'Sesame Street' segment that flourished in the '70s:



That cartoon is about...water! People bathe in it. Fish do something else in it. A nifty lesson for the show's young viewers!

That piece shows an anthropomorphic water container peeing on fires and transforming itself into other receptacles such as a soup bowl or a toilet. (Just joking about the toilet part.) It also features an elephant wiping their ass on a towel.

The narrator in that segment sounds a little bit like Mister Rogers. And the music sounds like that played on the car radio by the guards at CPH when they had to schlep us across town for some moronic appointment they made without our permission or that of our parents.

Also, does anyone else think the guy in the bathtub near the beginning looks just like the bloke in the "Just Think...No Conservatives" banner?

I guess there is wa after all!
