Thank you for identifying Elmo as the figure on the left in the photo...I wasn't sure.
Commander Chris, I would have to say my favorite place is home, 360 sesame street
Elmo can tell you how to get to Sesame Street.
Elmo thought he was here to sing Alien with Katy Perry, oh Elmo bad
Who better than Elmo to state that Washington needs a lot fewer puppets ijust sitting around with thumbs up their butts.
Sure things have been pretty good lately, but if Elmo lends you money, next everybody in the universe will want some!
Elmo says it's not rocket science to understand that the country would be in much better shape if Wall Street conducted lits business more like Sesame Street.
So, we're both out of work!
Elmo is happy that Elmo is not going to lose HIS job like Mr. Astronaut!! La la la la...but Elmo still loves you!!!
Oh yeah? Well remember the "Tickle Me Elmo" doll? That made the front pages as well!
I thought when I sang with katy Perry, she was from out of this world
Ferguson is impressed when Elmo said that the greatest experience would be for his friends Bert and Ernie to live their lives the way they want and to be given all the 'space' they need to do so.
Ever wonder why the never sent a Muppet to the moon? We would get out of hand, that's why.
Elmo, where is your flight suit? Time to suit up for an amazing adventure!!!
You look like you're afraid I'm going to ask you about Bert and Ernie, Chris.
Elmo try talk about quantum particle entanglement with other Muppets but they laugh at Elmo.
Elmo to Commander Ferguson:
This astronaut stuff ... it's not exactly 'rocket science' ... is it?
" I've never been tickled by a real astronaut."
I understand you need a new wingman, sir. Ready to go 24-7 !
"Hey,can you tickle me?'
Elmo-Commander, who do you think space aliens will look like...me or you?
Elmo: Oh ... they told me that Katy Perry would be here!
Elmo: Oh ... they told me that Katy Perry would be the speaker!
Do you like gladiator movies, Elmo?
They've got the no more Shuttle blues.
Certainly hope it's clear that YOU are on the right. Elmo doesn't want people to get confused. 😉
Hey, Mr Ferguson, could you take Mr Obama to the moon and ummm, leave him there?
"Sorry you couldn't go on the final flight, Elmo, but space shuttles use lots and lots of hook and pile."
Elmo to Commander Ferguson: Is it true that all astronauts are 'space cases'?
Are you telling me you can pull some strings and get me on a song and dance number with the "Other" Furgeson and his puppets if I promise not to marry anyone from Seseme Street? Is Furgeson's sidekick "Geoff Peterson", the robot taken?
Other friend Grover say final frontier actually caviar cookie with mint frosting.
So did they show you the Moon Walk that Dorothy and I took when NASA first began?
Wanna' learn my great dance? Everyone loves it !
Elmo have wardrobe people who make jumpsuit like friend Chris after visit wonderful NASA Tech Briefs website at http://www.techbriefs.com/.
Elmo to Astronaut: "We both are now fictional characters...."
"well Commander,we have your resume on file and if anything opens up on Sesame Street,we will keep you in mind.,thanks buh bye...Next!!"
Where do I get my astronaut diapers?
Elmo thinks you're gonna need a new job pretty soon, right Mr. Spaceman??
Plush – the Final Frontier.
Caption for Beat 360° 8/17/11 "Yes, I know I'm a Muppet, but I still have a better chance of winning the election in 2012 than Obama!
Why Elmo have big hole in bottom of jumpsuit but astronaut Chris have no hole in bottom of jumpsuit?
That's right Elmo the moon really is made of cheese!!
Please Mr. spaceman, take me back to Elmo's world.
95% of Americans know Elmo but have never heard the name Chris Ferguson, sadly.
Elmo survive explosive decompression. What about friend Chris?
Elmo want to help friend Chris find new pilot job but economy very bad.
"Can you send Michelle Bachman into Space?"
Don't tell me......you're running for President!...LOL, we said the exact same thing at the same time
Really...in the ocean...and nobody knows where? No need to tickle Elmo today!
Elmo: So you're spaced out!
