Bert’s “Best Spot for a Morning Cup of Coffee or Mojito” submission was seen by most as highly questionable.

Feeling frisky, Ernie heads to the roof above the apartment balcony and prepares to surprise Bert with a maneuver which he has named “The Pigeon”. Kama Sutra isn’t just for the bedroom, kids.

07 October 2009 12:54 PM | SeanInNW Said:

As Ernie prepared to jump to end it all (for the twenty-fourth time), he began to have serious doubts about Big Birds advice, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, again.”
07 October 2009 2:33 PM | Jim Said:
…and that was the point that Ernie decided parkour was not such a great idea for a Muppet.
07 October 2009 5:23 PM | Matt G Said:

As a result of the economic downturn and a fundamental lack of knowledge about roof repair, Ernie is now the only thing separating these avowed do-it-yourselfers from certain death.
