I discovered today that Twin Peaks' influence has spread to
PBS, more specifically in the form of a skit on Sesame Street.

My girlfriend and I were flipping through the channels around
noon (CST) when we came across Monsterpiece Theatre (with your
host Alistaire Cookie).  The scene started with Cookie Monster
entering a diner (presumably the RR) saying ``Denise, this is
Agent Cookie, I've just arrived in Twin Beaks...

the skit went on to feature Cookie talking about the 
``darn good pies'' and ``darn good plates''

the mystery to be solved was why the town is called twin beaks.
As soon as Agent Cookie starts asking the answer becomes clear.
This town is inhabited by birds, all with TWO beaks.  No one
was willing to discuss the name of the town.  Some of
the characters featured were

David Finch (hah)

we thought the bird with him was Mark Frost until she was introduced
as Laura (and who later wispered in Cookie's ear to ask the log bird).

The log bird was a dead ringer for the log lady, and the resemblence
of her log to the real log...well, I must say I'm not very good at
remembering bark.  Only this log really did talk.

It was very funny and I wish I had recorded it.  Anyone else seen it?
anyone tape it?  it certainly makes Sesame Street wroth watching, just
for these rare golden moments.
