The guy that invented them is a long hair hippy freak!!!

I was installing a new cannopy on the Ambassador Hotel in LA when this freak came up and asked me where he could find rthe muppets?

I responded, what the hell is a muppett, a hairlip puppet having never heard of a muppett and have no idea what one is today!

The hippy really got upset!!

If you don’t like The Muppets or anything Jim Henson related, then you can gently caress right off with your lovely self.

Emmet Otter’s Jug Band Christmas gets watched every holiday season and it warms my heart each time.

If you watch the Muppet Movie on New Year's Day, it gives you good luck for the year. Muppet Treasure Island also works

My dad used to sing Rainbow Connection on guitar and even did the Kermit voice.

Now that he’s gone, it hits different, but the song always made me tear up, regardless.

If I could send one song to aliens to explain the human heart it would be Rainbow Connection. Fully understood, it tells you all you need to know, despite its author being a frog

I saw the muppet Christmas Carol for the first time this year. Michael Caine didn't have to go so hard but by gently caress he certainly did.

Somewhere, there is a shady cabal of people with a fetish for sexing up the Muppets and making them say DRUGS MURDER SWEARING stuff. They must be stopped. The Muppets are pure. They know where it goes, but don't toot about it.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

The muppets are loving awesome!

About 5-6 years ago, I was in an expat bar in Fuzhou, China. For some reason I had on me a USB stick with a copy of The Muppet Movie on it. I bullied the owner to put it on the TV. He agreed as there was pretty much nobody else in the bar. So I drank cheap Chinese beer and watched the film. And even though at the time I was a grown man in my mid 30s, I cried more than once.

One of the moments I cried was during this song. Which is often overlooked, yet it is ridiculously good. And is followed by a heartbreaking scene where Kermit talks to himeslf as he wrestles with the guilt and burden of responsibility.

Further Gonzo media. I had this album on cassette when I was a kid and loved it. "Cows playing cellos with bananas where their horns should be." is a line that haunts my dreams to this day.

The Great Twist
My daughter got really into the Life's a Happy Song song and we watched the movie once. It was okay, it seemed to want to tell a meta story about the Muppets which wasn't entirely bad. And there were like anti-muppets who were kinda funny.

And this weird romantic plot exemplified by this part of the song:


Everything is great
Everything is grand
Except Gary's always off with his friend

It's never me and him
It's always me and him and him
I wonder when it's going to end?

But I guess that's ok
'Cause maybe someday
I know just how it's going to be
You'll ride up on a steed
And get down on one knee
And say, "Mary, will you marry meeeeee...
...please?"

Black Gold!

My dad had a green Dodge van when I was a kid he lovingly named Kermit. Owned it for many years until after the new millennium, and then he sold it and bought my neighbor’s light blue Chevy truck which he named Gonzo. Owned Gonzo for a decade and then sold it and bought a tan GMC truck he named Fozzie. That was the last vehicle he owned before he passed away.

These are the happy memories that The Muppets create, no matter how ridiculous they may seem :allears:
