  1. The Physics Monster   19 years ago

    Today's study is brought to you by the letter c.

    A confocal microscope begins with the letter c but it is not as good as a cookie.

    The speed of light is denoted by the letter c, but it is also not as good as a cookie.

    A computer can accept a cookie, but you cannot eat that sort of cookie.

  2. lunchstealer   19 years ago

    I've heard death metal bands where the guys sing like that referred to as 'yet another cookie monster band'. But I've never seen one embrace the concept. I guess even death metal has gone meta.

  3. mediageek   19 years ago

    I want a CO2 powered cookie cannon!

  4. Eddy   19 years ago

    It strikes me as a bit parodyoxical, unless of course they were walnut raisin oatmeal cookies.

  5. Kinder Gentler CM   19 years ago

    Death metal is a sometimes music.

  6. Deus ex Machina   19 years ago

    The new Islamic rulers of Somalia have wasted no time in emulating the Taleban:

    People in Mogadishu say an Islamist militia which has taken control of most of the city is preventing them from watching the football World Cup on TV.

    The music sucks! And it scared my 2 year old who loves Sesame Street.

  8. Jared   19 years ago

    I dont know whats funnier, him rolling up on a bike, or the cannon.

    I might also reccomend the tune "Me lost lost me cookie in the moshpit"

    Some Cookie Monster bands:

    Cannibal Corpse
    Suffocation
    Internal Bleeding
    Devourment
    Disgorge

    Parodies like this one are way behind the times.

  10. Rick Barton   19 years ago

    Kinda funny if you imagine someone deciding to check out what a libertarian magazine is all about and so they come here, as Reason is a publication of considerable renowned. Then imagine that the first two threads that they happen to look at are this one and the "One-Minute Magazine: Something's wrong with the Boy" thread...

    "Gosh, it seems that this libertarianism is quite an eclectic bouquet, to say the least..."

  11. Rick Barton   19 years ago

    Hi Geotech! Good to see you. Is it just me or have you been scarce around these parts of late?

  12. Syd   19 years ago

    It's not that it's done well, it's that it's done at all.

  13. Jesse Walker   19 years ago

    Geo: The fact that there are a lot of groups with "Cookie Monster" vocalists doesn't mean the band is behind the times. If another band had already done the joke, that would put it behind the times.

  14. Stevo Darkly   19 years ago

    You know what this video needs? A shot of a girl in the audience, sitting on some dude's shoulders, and lifting up her T-shirt to flash her "cookies" at the band.

  15. VM   19 years ago

    Stevo:

    Home Sweet Home

  16. Stevo Darkly   19 years ago

    Yeah! Motley Crue! I had an image from a specific 1980s MTV video in my head, but couldn't recall the name of the song or the band.

  17. d   19 years ago

    I prefer the Limp Bizkit parody, "All for the Cookie"

    http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/1204

  18. Geotech   19 years ago

    Well, my point was really that the "Cookie Monster Vox" is and has been a joke in the metal scene for a long time.
