dooce: "This is what you get when you rely on the Internet to answer potentially life-altering questions" Heather asks LazyWeb what Count von Count's pet name for his wife is, because on Sesame Street it sounds unusual and is difficult to look up based on a phonetic spelling. Heather gets lots of answers, including the correct one: "Sachertorte."

After seeing Heather's original plea, I made effort to dive into a TiVo'd episode of Street and turn on closed captioning. Alas, closed captioning often leaves out words, phrases and sentences to simplify the dialogue for a reasonable reading speed. Muppet vampire spousal pet names derived from Austrian pastries tend not to make the cut.

I enjoyed Wikipedia's entry on Count von Count.
