...I spent the last three days reading Stranger Things fic on and off, so have some more:

• his shirt had the band's logo printed largely across the front



• No pause, just petal to the metal,



• the small hymns of satisfaction he would let out



• a job, a car, and decent hygiene regiment,



• pleading eyes barring right into his soul,



• Two boys go on a roadtrip. Shenanigans ensure.

A favorite childhood movie of mine was Don't Eat the Pictures!, the Sesame Street special filmed at the Met. The title song features a chorus of cookie monster granny angels singing backup: Don't Eat the Pictures song

Aw nice! I should find the whole thing just for the Met stuff.

I'm too old to remember this stuff, I'm, like, OG Gordon generation.

It's on YouTube, I think, not great quality, and in bits. The gang is locked in the museum over night and Big Bird and Snuffy befriend an unquiet ancient Egyptian ghost and help him make his journey to the underworld. Osiris is present.

I got it for my fifth(?) birthday on VHS in the late 80s!
