Monday, August 4th, 2008

In honor of the Jim Henson exhibit now at the Smithsonian here in D.C. And a little Muppets-related bonus video before the poll.

    If you don’t get misty eyed at the end of The Muppet Movie, then you have no heart.

    My “other” vote was for Grover. Whom I believe that Yoda’s voice was most similar.

    The affection you people have for Statler and Waldorf does not surprise me.

    I voted for Dr. Teeth.

    “Golden teeth and golden tones, welcome to my presence.”

    Statler and Waldorf are a close second. I’m not embarrassed to admit I own a S&W t-shirt.

    Animal has been it ever since Rock Band made its way into my basement gaming sanctuary.

    I think most libertarians can relate to Statler and Waldorf. All we can do is sit by and heckle and laugh to keep our sanity as the disaster continues . . .

    What?!? No Ernie and Bert? Are you a homophobe or something? (…..just kidding…..I still would’ve voted for Statler and Waldorf…….)

    During the Muppet Show days I always loved to see what happened to Beaker. I still chuckle thinking about it.
    And, of course, PIGS IN SPAAAAACE….

    Why DO we always come here?
    I guess we’ll never know.
    It’s like a type of torture,
    To have to watch this show!

    Picked Animal, though S&W were a very close second.

    Kermit – “What’s wrong with the drummer, he seems a little crazed.”
    Zoot – “Oh he’s just upset he missed the Rembrandt exhibit at the national gallery.”
    Animal – “Renoir!”

    Definitely Beaker.

    The hell? I figured I’d be the only one who chose Statler & Waldorf. To learn that I haven’t been alone all this time brings…(snif)… a little tear to my eye.

    Excuse me. I need a moment.

    What about the Muppets from the first season of SNL ? I pick Scred. Or even the Great Favad

    My all time favorite Muppet show was the one with Spike Milligan (The Goon Show, MI5). Wonderful insanity from start to end.

    There’s an amazing video on YouTube of Miss Piggy singing Peaches’ “fuck the pain away.”

    I really like the Alice Cooper episode.

    Pepe the Prawn ranks right up there – I loved him as “Toto” when they did the Wizard of Oz.
