What the hell does that have to do with PBS?

>> If you're unaware of basic facts about the world around you, that's ok, but don't try to gaslight me into thinking that I'm somehow confused.

I think you're really badly confused, and this is also not how you educate or convince people. I'd suggest you log off and go touch grass.

It is not my job to educate people. In fact, I receive advantage if I live in a world where you're more ignorant than I.

The term goes back to the 1970s or the late 1960s, and was invented by the puppeteers on Sesame Street. It's documented. It might be generous to assume they were making a tasteless joke, because not everyone who makes such jokes engages in such behaviors, but given their sexual orientations I'm reluctant to give them the benefit of that doubt. Of course, none of this would have been known to anyone in those decades, or even until much later when the internet made obscure trivia available on a global scale. But it's all ok, as it turns out my wife and I didn't have any problems teaching our kids to count to 10 by ourselves.

>I'd suggest you log off and go touch grass.

I'm at work. But even if I weren't, I'd not take any advice from you. It's apparently news to you that the children's shows are all made by perverts.

Sesame Street used the term "rusty trombone" in a song by Oscar the Grouch about the wonderful things you can find in trash, written and performed 30 years before there is any documented use of the term "rusty trombone" to refer to a sex position.


>The term goes back to the 1970s or the late 1960s, and was invented by the puppeteers on Sesame Street. It's documented.

Where, exactly, is this "documented?"

Perhaps my Google(well, DDG, actually)-Fu is deficient as I was unable to find any links to "analingus with a reach around" associated with Sesame Street. The only broadcast media references I could find were radio and movies references from the 2000-2010 period.

As such, please do let me know where to find this documentation. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!


You seem like the kind of person who would lose their mind at all of the innuendo in SpongeBob
