more nicknames

there is a trivia question in Sesame Street Unpaved that asks to match the various nicknames with those that he gave others. according to this, he called big bird "overgrown bag of giblets, a.k.a. feather face", Snuffy "fur face, a.k.a. Mount Rushmore", Luis "mr. badwrench", gordon "chrome dome", and Bob "Music Puss, tenor face, and High Tonsils".

How did you hear that about Sonia Manzano? Also, why would it be considered un-PC to call her "Skinny" or Gordon names to do with being bald? That's dumb to me..

I read about Sonia Manzano saying that she found Oscar's "Skinny" moniker flattering, in some magazine article.

And the whole skinny thing COULD be viewed as unpleasant, with these Lindsay Lohan/Calista Flockhart/Lara Flynn Boyle anorexic looks, but of course Sonia never got THAT skinny!

I never heard the nicknames for Olivia or David before. Miss Teenage Sesame Street (that's funny!) and Porridge Puss is perfect. He called Willy "Santa Claus"? Thats hilarious too.
