What's the Word on the Street?: Paleontologist | ||
Rosita, Elmo and Chris welcome the viewer while setting up a table, which is soon covered by tools from "Paleontologist Grover." Chris explains what the position entails (because Grover hasn't a clue). Grover is hoping to dig up some dinosaur bones and build his own dinosaur skeleton, just like the ones in his book, but is severely lacking in any samples (i.e. not having any at all). | ||
While Chris heads back to work, Elmo and Rosita want to be paleontologists. Grover points out they lack the proper outfits and tools, which the two quickly produce. He also states they need to sing the paleontologist theme song, which they sing with some Anything Muppets. | ||
Now that they've done everything necessary, they are all now official paleontologists and start digging. They dig around the garden and come up with various odds and ends, which Grover claims are fossils. | ||
Chris comes back to find his table cloth covered in dirt and junk. Grover asserts they're the fossils, until Chris points out that not everything old and found in dirt is a fossil. Distraught, Grover decides to quit the paleontologist gig until Elmo comes up with a great idea - use the pieces to create their own dinosaur. Grover assembles the pieces into a jumble, so Chris suggests they design it first. They study the pieces and figure out what parts resemble dinosaur body parts. Their design works and they come up with a dinosaur figure! Grover calls it a "Sesame Street-O-Saurus," then goes for a simple "Barbara." They go off to make more dinosaurs, while Chris shows Barbara his (poor) T-rex impression, to Grover's disapproval. The street story can be viewed at Sesamestreet.org. Template:SSvideo | ||

They try various methods of stopping it, including making a Macaroni stop sign, but to no avail. Mrs. Sparklenose suggests they "Spot the solution."
