#81: Ham and Tadpoles

Well, I found out last night that Kermit the Frog has been sidestepping (maybe that should be side-hopping) the romantic overtures of Miss Piggy for FIFTY years after we watched "The Muppet Movie" and the special features included with the dvd.
I'm of the opinion that every job interview should be opened up with the question, "Who is your favorite Muppet?" That would give the interviewer a deep psychological profile of the applicant that would intuitively tell the Boss just what the heck kind of screwball he/she was hiring without going through a long series of questions.
Think about some of the people you know and see if they act like Fozzy Bear, Miss Piggy (descended from Noah through Ham, no doubt), or perhaps a member of The Electric Mayhem Band...GROOVY, DUDE...to quote Janis.
Oh, and while I'm thinking about it...there's a line in "The Muppet Movie" that disturbs me. When Dr. Teeth is reading the script to catch himself up on things, the line describing his band who are renovating an obviously disused church into a coffee house is, "They're not Presbyterians." Monsewer Henson obviously never got to visit Stonewalled Charismatic Presbyterian Church in the basement of The Big House before he shuffled off this mortal coil!! (Although as a generalization of Presbyterian church services, he might NOT have been far off the mark.)
Guess I'll go get something done other than pontificating and cranking tunes. ('Days of Elijah' is the current selection, by the way.)
In case you wonder who's my fave, let me put it as he might:
ANIMALLLLL...ANIMALLLLL...ANIMALLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Got drum sticks?
