The following is the true account of the events leading to the death of Mr.
Hooper, Sesame Street store owner and friend of Big Bird.
Mr. Hooper died at the age of 68, of causes yet unexplained. We remember the
episode of Sesame Street where Big Bird one day made a portrait of Mr. Hooper.
Proud of his creation, Big Bird visits the old man's store to find Maria and Bob
but no Mr. Hooper. The two explain that Mr. Hooper had just died and Big Bird is
boggled by the whole concept.
The episode continues with Big Bird learning to cope with the Death but
never is it explained why and how Thaddeus D. Hooper died. Let us now uncover
the truth behind this mystery...
A week before the death of Mr. Hooper the famed actor comedian Richard Pryor
guest starred on the the show. It is a documented fact that Mr. Pryor was an
avid user of Crack. Intelligence sources have reason to believe that Bert was
his supplier ( the two have been photographed together ). In fact, Bert is the
cause of his addiction.
*Bert is responsible for the the addictions of many other Muppets: Elmo to
Cocaine,
Cookie Monster to Weed, Grover to Acid... to name a few, in fact Forgetful
Jones is a casualty of Acid.
Mr. Hooper caught the two shooting up behind the store and got mad. Hooper
threatened to go to the Police and that will not tolerate such evil hedonism so
near his humble store. Pryor snaps into a panic (you know, the one he always
does in the movies) Bert stays calm and says... "Here's some money... shut up."
Insulted, Hooper shouts, "I'll never take your dirty drug money you freak! Get
out of here before I call the cops." Bert responds, "We'll leave, but if you
tell... you die." Bert walks away calmly while Pryor is still in a state of
panic.
