3. Oscar is deep-down kind hearted, but when you first meet him… well, he’s a wreck (wreck meaning, bad life, just… terrible) ! He is mean, argumentative, and frustrating! But the thing is, he is not TRYING to be mean, he just is!!!!! He assumes he is nice but just isn’t. “To make it all simple, that’s Oscar’s religion!” http://www.techd igest.tv/cgi- bin/mt/mt- search.fcgi?I

4. Oscar is a character from Sesame Street. He has been on the show since the first premier! Oscar was orange in the first season, but now he is green!!!! Oscar is apparently from “Grouchland”. He only sees his parents once a year ever since he turned 18 (that is Grouchland’s main rule). He is now 43. http://newborn- clothing.net/baby- brand.php?id=162
