And to think, I immidiately think of the Count Censored, whenever I hear about the Count...

Not a very good way to go in my mind, I suppose...

He will be missed...
And so it was, that I had never changed.

Now, now, Nanatsu, no more new counts with the Count. Luckily, his counting is undoubtedly enshrined on the interwebs. 'Tis a pity, though.

Thanks.

I am saddened. The Count is one of my Sesame Street's favorite characters. He was one of the sources I was given to learn to count in English when I was a little girl.

But, as you say, he will live forever in the net.

:) That's the kind of story he liked to hear.

I also liked him as the Ghost of Christmas Present.

I met the guy who does Gonzo once, it was one of the best days of my life and one of the coolest people I've ever met. Muppetteers or whatever are the first people I think I looked to as a child and went, "Those are cool people. I want to be them."

While I don't know anything about him, through his character he has added a degree of awesome to the world, so thank you, and good bye. You've tattooed my brain, The Count, along with other Muppets will always be a part of who I am even if indirectly.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

Might sound a bit insensitive, but I hope they find a new person to voice the Count.

It is the best way to honor him by continuing his legacy to teaching children how to count in an amusing way.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.
