Insert | Mr. Snuffleupagus is competing in the Great Snuffleupagus Derby, named such because the winner gets a derby hat. He wears a sheet with the number 9, indicating his spot in the race. He asks Big Bird to watch his bucket of orange juice so he can have a refreshing drink as he passes by mid-race. The derby begins and Snuffy takes off. Big Bird sees other Snuffleupaguses pass by, thinking they're Snuffy, until he sees they're not wearing his number. Big Bird eventually drifts off to sleep, just before Snuffy arrives and slurps down the juice. Big Bird stirs and thinks someone else has drank it all, when Snuffy returns, wearing his victory derby and sets things straight. The two both take a nap together. (First: Episode 1130) |

Celebrity | Grundgetta has fixed a makeshift NASA sign to Oscar's trash can and she's attempting a countdown, but she's just shouting random numbers. Sally Ride approaches and asks if she needs any help. Grundgetta annoyedly asks if the woman is an expert or something. Ride begins to answer when Grundgetta concedes that maybe she can help if she knows how to count backwards from ten. As Ride provides the countdown, the trash can smokes and rumbles, and takes off into the air. When it plummets to the ground, Ride hurries over to the crash site to see if Grundgetta is okay. She's more than okay, she's terrific, and so was Ride's counting. Grundgetta concludes that she must be an expert after all. (First: Episode 1939) |
