Last night at the Tacoma Dome was a Sesame Street extravaganza called When Elmo Grows Up, "a musical show-and-tell of the possibilities of all kinds of careers."

I didn't go, but I can guess what happens: Elmo gets older, his voice gets deeper and he starts to get fur in odd places.

Then the show probably tackles the difficult issue of grown-up Elmo trying to find a career when his only talent is vibrating after he's tickled.

I imagine it all ends somewhat like this ...

Is one of those careers opening an adult book store in South Tacoma?

Yes! That was my first thought too.

I looked for a picture of that place, but I couldn't find one. So I settled on this photo of a Tacoma prostitution bust.

I'm not exactly sure what role Elmo is playing here, but in my mind he is the John. Or maybe a second prostitute, who was told to go wait over there.
