'Conviction (1)'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My favorite Sesame Street exchange evah:
Ernie is using a string/chain to illustrate different shapes.
Ernie: See, Bert? That's a circle.
Bert: Oh, I see!
Ernie: And this is a triangle. It has three sides. See this point at the top? Remind you of anyone, Bert?
Cracks my shit up every time.
Aaaaaaaaaaand, that's all it takes for my brain to switch from Sesame Street to Avenue Q.
If you were gay
it'd be okay
I mean 'cause, hey!
I'd like you anyway...
Big Bird looking for Ernie's duckie I could live without.
ooh, subtext.
My favorite SS moment: A little girl and Kermit (Jim Henson-era) are saying the alphabet together, and for some reason every time it's her turn, she shrieks, "Cookie Monster!" This goes on for about ten letters, with Kermit (and Jim, I'm sure) getting more frustrated by this departure from the script. Finally, Kermit walks off in a huff, and the little girl looks after him and mournfully says, "I love you, Kermit." He comes back and says, "I love you, too," and gives her a hug.
Awwwww....
No drug or alcohol addictions - I think he just got burned out and cynical. Now he's a clerk in a video rental place that specializes in independent movies.
eta: Sometimes he protests agains neighborhood gentrification, but mostly he keeps to himself.
Talk about shit lying around in little cracked up pieces...
Thanks, man. ::wipes laughter induced tear away...shakes head at the wonderment that is the Buffistas...wanders off into the mundane world sighing.::
I remember that, Kathy. So adorable.
I think one of my favorite things about the Muppets as a whole is the way that, unlike just about every other puppet show on TV, they manage to interact with human performers in a totally natural way. Even when Jim would appear on Johnny Carson with Kermit in hand, and we could see him working the body and providing the voice, it was so easy to see Kermit as a separate entity. Even today, when the Muppets show up on various talk shows, the hosts are obviously tickled pink to be working with Ms. Piggy, or Kermit, or Fozzie Bear.
ABIERTO!
¡CERRADO!
