i cannot wait....

truth be told...i have been a huge fan of the muppets since middle school. [just fyi, the muppet show ran on tv from 1976-81 and the muppet movie premiered in 1979]. my favorite characters have always been the rather eccentric ones--
the swedish chef
beaker
but my all-time favorite has to be...
fozzie bear!!!
i think like him so much because i can relate...
you see--i just want to be funny...even if it means telling a corny joke or cheesy pun.  as i stated in one of my very earliest posts, i love laughing. never taking yourself or anything else in this crazy world too seriously is definitely, in my opinion, a wonderful way to live.  somehow i get the feeling that fozzie has a similar outlook on life.


so, you might be asking--why all this talk of muppets.
well--straight from ew.com

MUPPETS NEW MOVIE: EXCLUSIVE SNEAK PEEK!
It's time to play the music! It's time to light the lights! It's time to raise the curtain on... The Muppets! After a decade spent largely out of the pop culture limelight, doing whatever semiretired celebrity puppets do, Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzie Bear, and the rest of the gang are starting production this month on the first big-screen Muppet movie in 11 years. And co-writer Jason Segel, who also stars in the movie (out Christmas 2011), is setting the bar pretty high, hoping to recapture the magic of the late Jim Henson's vision. ''We've worked really hard to stay true to the original spirit of the Muppets,'' Segel says. ''We've missed the same thing everyone else has been missing.'' —Josh Rottenberg

I like "animal" on the drums. He is the wild and crazy drummer I never got to be.
