MANHATTAN, NEW YORK\u2013 Following months of speculation into the mysterious activities of Count von Count, Sesame Street’s red-furred detective Elmo finally had his suspicions confirmed as to the possible cultural identity of the resident coin-counting vampire when he spotted a large dreidel inside the Count’s cobweb-covered castle.<\/p>\n
While visiting the creepy castle to repay an 89% interest loan he borrowed, Elmo’s suspicions went into overdrive once he discovered the spinning dreidel top, claiming that his eyes have been opened after he began noticing a lot of things lately. The Count’s love of counting money, prominent nose, and vampiric tendencies led to the belief on Sesame Street<\/a> that Count von Count had a secret identity.<\/p>\n “Elmo has had suspicions about the Count for a while now,” Elmo confided to Big Bird later. “But then, while the Count was eating a bagel, boom. Elmo sees a dreidel right next to the Count’s gold coins. Elmo has been noticing things lately. Like last week, Elmo heard the Count humming ‘Hava Nagila’ while counting his coins.”<\/p>\n When reached for comment, the Count seemed unfazed by the accusations that he was hiding his true identity, saying, “A dreidel? Ah-ah-ah! That was, uh, a gift from a friend who lives in Brooklyn. Yes, that’s it. I’m just a vampire with chutzpah, you schmucks. I just love counting dreidels, that’s all. One dreidel, two dreidels, three dreidels–ah-ah-ah! I love counting everything. Dreidels, coins, bagels, coins, matzo balls, and even coins, ah-ah-ah.”<\/p>\n After asking one too many questions, it was later confirmed that Elmo had been evicted from Sesame Street, had his bank accounts closed, and had been fired from his job.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" MANHATTAN, NEW YORK\u2013 Following months of speculation into the mysterious activities of Count von Count, Sesame Street’s red-furred detective Elmo finally had his suspicions confirmed as to the possible cultural identity of the resident coin-counting vampire when he spotted a large dreidel inside the Count’s cobweb-covered castle.
