Sunny Days! Celebrate 40 years of 'Sesame Street' with a cool '80s t-shirt
Sesame Street turns 40 years old today. And while I'm 99.9 percent sure I never watched a second of it during the '80s, I bet a lot of the Stuck in the '80s nation did. (Probably the same misfits who e-mail me every day begging for a Goonies podcast. Okay! I bought the DVD last week. I'll happen.)
One of our favorite sources for nostalgia T-shirts -- 80stees.com -- is celebrating the PBS show's milestone by offering 20 percent off all Sesame Street T-shirts. I'm seriously buying this one here.

I remember thinking Maria was pretty hot. I also liked it when Big Bird was the only one who knew about Mr. Stuffenumplicus.
When I was in Croatia right after the Bosnian Conflict, they used to play this on the big screen TV in the DFAC.

I loved Sesame Street and my old pal Grover ! I remember Kermit the Frog and his News Flashes, Mr Hooper.. he was like a grandfather ! I grew up on it and so did my son who is 19 years old. I am actually one year older than Sesame Street !

Maybe a milk mustache.

In preschool, did you have a mustache? :-) I know you did in college.
Cute shirt!
