Unless you've spent the last 30 or so years doing time for Patsy Cline in a Turkish prison then you'll be all too familiar with the enduring phenomenon that is Sesame Street. Given that Evil Bert is in the midst of launching a takeover bid for the hearts, minds and credit card numbers of Westerners at large, I thought this an ideal time to get a sense of the Sesame Street character that most tellingly impacted upon you at a deep and meaningful level?
For mine it would have to have been The Count... Maybe I was just born a full-on anal retentive, but I can't help but think that the little guy with the big monacle and the numeric fixation played a very significant role in preparing me for life as a public servant. Undoubtedly a role model for mathematicians and a pin-up boy for obsessive compulsives everywhere! With public disdain for Tony Greig at an alltime high (still) perhaps Kezza could do worse than get out the chequebook and write out a nice round figure for Transylvania's (or is it Pennsylvania's?) favourite cape wearer. He wouldn't even have to sign it, as the little champ would be far too fond of counting the digits to cash the bloody thing. I'm not sure of his proficiency with a key, but he'd be a natch for keeping track of balls, overs and runs scored. You'd just have to hope that he could refrain from counting out the speed of every Brett Lee delivery or the whole plan might rapidly go to shite!

. His monster impersonation is the best.
