More fun for the Snowpocalypse

With the snow still blanketing the East Coast, it's fun to revisit the classic snowman scene. I enjoy this clip especially now because I missed out on the weekend snow fun. The neighborhood had an Twitter-driven snowball fight, and folks built countless snow people all over the city. I, however, was stuck inside, doing my grown-up job. Instead of indulging my inner child with actual snow play, I have had to settle for doing it vicariously through Ernie and Bert.

It's actually good enough for me. In fact, I must admit that I would probably pull an Ernie in that situation--if only because Bert looks so adorable in his ski jacket.

It's Cold Outside

I have found, in all of these years of life experience, that there are generally two ways to approach every situation: the Ernie way and the Bert way. I will let you characterize those particular ways yourself, but there can be no doubt that when faced with a couple of feet of snow and cold, wintry weather, you can either take the Ernie approach or the Bert approach.

Ernie: "Do you have your hockey puck, Bert?"
Bert: "Will you be careful with that sled in the living room, Ernie?"



Both methods, I'm sure, involve hot cocoa at some point.
