National Grouch Day
Today is one of my favorite holidays it’s Nation Grouch Day a day that celebrates all of us wonderful grouches. The following excerpt is from muppet wiki
Grouches are an eccentric race of pessimistic, argumentative, unhygenic furry creatures who prefer to live wherever there is garbage - trash cans, city dumps, even the occasional landfill.
A grouch’s mission in life is to be as miserable and grouchy as possible, and pass that feeling on to everyone else. Only then will a grouch feel in touch with his or her world and be happy. Yet, even though a grouch may show happiness at anyone’s misfortune (including his or her own), a grouch would never admit to being happy. Such is the stability of a grouch’s life: so balanced, and yet so unbalanced. Oscar is especially aware of this.
Anything a grouch likes is best described (to you and me) as rotten, smelly, yucky, awful, dirty, and trashy, to name a few. A grouch will only buy appliances that don’t work, keep pets that no person would keep in a house (e.g. elephants and worms), eat foods that are undesirable for any reason, sing out-of-tune, play the radio at high volume, and bathe in mud. (More about grouches can be learned in the book How to Be a Grouch.)
Whoever your favorite celebrity is, or whatever your favorite TV show or attraction is, the grouches are sure to have taken it and made their own opposite version of it. Examples include TV show host Sally Messy Yuckyael and the theme park, Six Crabs Yucky World. With their many parallels of real aspects of American culture and of the human condition, the grouches are one of the most important assets to Sesame Street’s diverse environment.
