For some reason, this picture made me think for a long time. I am reminded of what mattered to me twenty years ago, ten years ago, and now. Twenty years ago I would have been visibly upset by this picture. I would have lamented for a character I loved and looked forward to seeing everyday at 2:30pm on TV while living in Dallas. A decade ago, I would have maliciously laughed while staying up late studying for some final in college. Today, I think in terms of what it means to the effects of the death. Who would pay Big Bird’s outstanding mortgage? Who would Elmo get to reach things high up on the shelves? Would Big Bird’s demise cause an already fragile minded Mr. Snuffleupagus to go into a deep depression? How will this affect the delicate balance of character dynamics on Sesame Street? What would be the ideal cooking time for such a bird?  As we go though life, certain core principles remain while other aspect of our personality are molded by experiences and people we meet.  I wonder what I will think of this drawing ten, twenty years from now?  …..GET THAT BIRD OFF MY LAWN!

When Yoda was fighting Count Dooku at the end of Attack of the Clones, Dooku sends a heavy pillar to flatten Obi-Wan and Anakin. Wouldn’t it be easier for Yoda to move the two unconscious Jedi’s rather than the pillar? I think Yoda was just showing off.
