Om nom nom.

While researching the origin of "NOM NOM NOM" and lolcatz today at work, I stumbled upon an interview with Cookie Monster on NPR's show, "On Air."

The host, Elizabeth Blair, asked Cookie Monster an altered Proust questionnaire. (Kind of like those surveys you pass around the office when you're bored to get to know co-workers, but by the third one you receive back, you start skimming... or just delete all together.)

So, I've provided the questions with Cookie Monster's answers, in quotes, as well as my own. Enjoy!
