I found myself watching vid after vid of Jim Hensen's memorial. Wow. And to learn that Richard Hunt died not much later. *sniff*

Right. Well you all owe me a box of kleenex.

I've just spent nearly an hour looking through all those links. So sad. That was one of those moments that I will always remember where I was when I heard he died.
I was 10 and it was the end of my 5th grade year. The next year we did our school program with all the music from the different Muppet shows.

The worst part of all of that is Sammy Davis Jr. died the very same day (or within a day) and Jim's death went largely overlooked by the press. That day was truly sad for me because I grew up with his creations and he always put a smile on my face.

One funny thing I remember is he took Rolf on the Tonight Show and when Johnny said "hi" to him, Rolf said, "Johnny! Son of a Bitch!" Which really shocked the audience. Then Rolf said, "No, no! To a dog, that's a compliment!" Which threw the audience into hysterics.

But to a finer point, I don't really know this "Kermit" the puppet your all talking about. The only TRUE Kermit is a Muppet, don't you know. BIG difference there.

I'd call that senseless violence except while it is rather utterly senseless there isn't any real violence involved.

You need not fear. No kittens were harmed in the making of that video.

HUGS Sorry Mai... should have warned you it would lead to sobbing.. I did not , in fact, view the video except to confirm it was the one I was looking for.. in my condition I would have dehydrated myself crying( 'cause at this point State Farm Insurance commercials make me tear up)

It's ok I didn't watch it. I let the fear win over me. You shouldn't feel bad about the crying at commercials. I don't have a condition (well not THAT condition anyway) and I cry at commercials, and songs, books, and pretty much everything else under the sun. Actually my worst is when I go to see a play or musical. Even if it's upbeat and funny I always cry. Strange, I know, but it never really bothers me. Just the people I'm with... it's FUN to embarass other people!

I do however think that the person who posted the link shall be beaten with a bag of marshmallows.

Is it more pathetic to go to bed at 11 on a Saturday nigt or gt drunk on your own and stay up fo r no reason?
You know vodka is like a liquid merry-go-round. It makes you all spinny. But the merry-go-round is not like the drink. If you lick it you don't get tipsy. Unless you spilled your drink on the merry-go round.
