Grover's "O'Reference" to Mr. McIntosh

[Convincing John]

Hey everyone,

I just finished watching the Grover/Fat Blue sketch where they are in the "O'Brien's Fast Food Restaurant". (An obvious reference to McDonald's).

But that's not the reference I'm talking about. I think Grover makes a reference to Chet O'Brien, or Mr. McIntosh in the sketch. Here's the reference:

When Fat Blue gives his order, Grover leans into the mike, and says "Okay, Chet, one O'Fish, one O'Salad, one O'Rye and one O'Glass O'Milk."

Some of you might think he says "check" instead of "Chet", but for someone in the Muppet biz to be referred to as background names in sketches is a running gag with the Muppets....Rezal Evad Gib (Big Dave Lazer), "Sheriff Dave Goelz" (in one of the Newsman sketches), etc.

It seems like the kind of thing that Frank would sneak into a sketch. Think about it, the name "Chet" in an "O'Brien's Fast Food Restaurant" makes sense.

Anyone else catch this reference? You have to be quick to catch it...like the food!

Fat Blue: "Whoop!" (Salad zips by and crashes to the floor)
Grover: "There goes your O'Salad."

I remember that sketch. I really didn't get the O'Brien/MacIntosh reference until now.
