Who Stole the Cookie From the Cookie Jar?

Since tonight is cookie night on my floor, I have decided to make this post in tribute to the quintessential chocolate chip cookie. Or should I say the tearing apart of a classic American way of life.

Yes, you know exactly what I'm talking about. The cookie monster. Or should I say, the veggie monster. Seriously, teaching our nation's youth to crave vegetables is like teaching your dog to clean up its own feces:  It's not going to happen. That being said, it makes very little sense to ruin an American symbol who has been an inspiration to children everywhere since the year of the moon landing (That was 40 years ago by the way for those of you ready to Google it). This figure taught our children the art of nomming and the occasionally omming, and once in a while the timeless "om nom." You cannot om nom to vegetables. Well, maybe corn, but that's irrelevant. Ok, I'm rambling. I'm sorry, I get very heated about this issue.

So all that being said, I give you my anticlimactic haiku which will seem so underwhelming compared to the above rant.

The Veggie Monster
Would be dominated by
The Cookie Monster

I am referring, of course, to if the two were in a fight to the death. While this could not actually happen unless the veggie monster steals the DeLorean in six years (2015 for those who do not wish to add) and travels back in time to confront his former and ultimately superior self. Let's face it, all of the protein and fat provided to the cookie monster would make his victory inevitable. I'm not completely sure what would happen if he killed his future self though...

I would also like to add that there is no vegetable jar. If you wished to destroy another quintessential symbol of our childhoods, you could change it to "who stole the carrot from the refrigerator?" But let's face it, that just doesn't have the same ring to it.
