Members SorrowAblaze Posted September 20, 2005 Members Share Posted September 20, 2005 Originally posted by Hopeless Romantic my girlfriend says Miss Piggy. Miss Piggy sucks. Although, I think alot of girls might blurt out her as their answer just becuse shes the first female muppet that comes to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitarcapo Posted September 20, 2005 Members Share Posted September 20, 2005 A muppet is any of those things Jim Henson created. The name is a combination of marionette and puppet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Thelonius Posted September 20, 2005 Members Share Posted September 20, 2005 My wife said she will not be held down to such a decision and quite vehement about it. However I do know that she has an affitity for Rolf, and she did mention Fozzie as being a favorite. My favorite muppets from the muppet show were Zoot, and the dude that was all like "manamana" Although the Muppet show is one of my favorite shows of all time (just got the DVD) my favorite muppets were from Sesame Street. Ernie's a classic. Cookie Monster. And of course Forgetful Jones. That guy was a nut man. He was a cowboy and forgot how to ride a horse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BillyGrahamCracker Posted September 20, 2005 Members Share Posted September 20, 2005 My wife has a thing for Ernie. Which explains why she likes me, I guess. Me, I'm a Janice guy all the way. She reminds me of this girl I made out with back in high school. She freaked me out (long after we'd made out...in the concession stand during a wrestling meet) when she pulled out a picture of her dead brother (the wrestling team captain, who was a lot older than me and who was killed when his car was hit by a train) during american government class. She was hot, though. Like Janice. I'm also VERY into Statler and Waldorf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members palthegiraffe Posted September 20, 2005 Members Share Posted September 20, 2005 Originally posted by Central Scrutinizer this includes all sesame street and fraggle rock characters that had a human hand (or 2 or 3) up their ass. Personally, I'm more partial to Sesame Street Muppets (excluding Elmo). But they all have their place, though Miss Piggy doesn't really do much for me. I'm a big Cookie Monster fan, in addition to liking Bert & Ernie, Grover, and Oscar the Grouch. Having a kid has now given me an excuse to enjoy that show again.

Members Nico de Roode Posted September 20, 2005 Members Share Posted September 20, 2005 From my own professional point of few I have a question. ( I work with people with a chalange as Americans call them.)Do Bert and Ernie have help from relatives or neighbours? I don't understand how two people who seem to be mentally handicapted cope, financially. Or how do they make up with the neighbours when Ernie is counting sheeps, or fireengines up loud. And the same with that other guy: Grover. Imagine him working in your favourite restaurant. Impossible he can keep a job for 2 minutes. These are the rollmodels for my 2 kids. And they like Sesamestreet very much. What will happen to my kids? End up like a bunch of losers themselfs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 4Kenoath Posted September 20, 2005 Members Share Posted September 20, 2005 My favourite were those two old cunts in the balcony...hehe, best hecklers ever. Problem with this theory is that the muppets haven't been shown on tv here for about 20 years...not a question for the young babes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even the movies? We haven't had the TV show in syndication in years either. But we still have the movies. I wonder if today's teens and younger know the Muppets at all.

Members BillyGrahamCracker Posted September 20, 2005 Members Share Posted September 20, 2005 Speaking of Muppets, I emailed Kevin yesterday to tell him of my great success in a Sesame Street book I'm beginning to do...It's about Grover and Elmo traveling the globe and as all of the humans that are depicted will be Muppets, I've gotten the go ahead to creat a muppet mountie, a muppet mummy, a muppet mime, and a muppet Buddhist monk.... This'll be the coolest book ever. Save for the NASCAR book I recently did. I just got an advance copy from our Chinese printer yesterday and it has more titties and moustaches than I even remembered putting into it. It's amazing. Like if Daisy Duke had an auto wreck with 1970s-era Skynyrd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SoundwaveLove Posted September 20, 2005 Members Share Posted September 20, 2005 i disagree that grover isn't a muppet. he most definitely is, as are the fraggles. booooo! then you have to include all the dark crystal creatures, labrinth puppets, and david bowie not to mention lots of those creatures existated as drawing by brian froise(sp?) before they were ever made in to what you would classify as a "muppet" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw it ages ago. I'll see if the library has it the next time I stop by. Hmmm. That makes me think, what are my favorite 1980s movies (and Star Wars and Indiana Jones ones don't count; they're timeless). 1. Die Hard2. Back to the Future3. Iron Eagle4. Labyrinth5.
