Retrodude...I am afraid that you are going to have to face the fact that DSH appreciates the muppets on a much deeper level than the rest of us.

Considering what they got away with on The Muppet Show (that they might not get away with today), that seems like exactly the kind of gag Henson would've snuck in. Ya gotta admit, The Muppets haven't been that daring in years.

If that counts as "daring" or approaches counterculture, then I'm afraid the end of The Muppets is indeed upon us.

This was Henson's pitch for the show. It captures nicely what he was shooting for, the new film did only some of what he laid out as a vision here...



(note also the joke about egghead intellectuals thinking that the show is deep )

I'm still going to go with all your years as a teacher in the humanities has destroyed your ability to enjoy the simple things in life.

This is full of awesome:

smile: got rid of a bunch of old dinner plates, a bed frame i didn't need, a few old tires, and some old crates that had gotten kind of dingy as part of my spring cleaning

frown: spring cleaning required a trip out of state

I'll tell the Maine authorities to keep an eye out for brogamers.
