Major Crimes Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 My generation in Australia were so much the Sesame Street kids. Our parents hated the way we all said Zee and not Zed Vale Big Bird and Oscar you live on in all of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Mark Flint #31954 LIFE Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I'm trying to break my brother in law of the use of the term "Zed" but my sister won't let me hit him. I am currently using a spray bottle of water every time I hear him say it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrus Cassidy #45437 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Big Bird was ruined for me when I was in law enforcement. I had a co-worker who was 6' 5" and rotund in the middle, with blonde hair. He was aptly nicknamed "Big Bird" because he resembled the character if Big Bird were to ever don a blue uniform. Then this jackwagon was arrested, tried, convicted, and sentenced to 90-something years in prison for child pornography and a BUNCH of other charges. Big Bird will never be the same for me.
