"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Aww. From Kathy's link

The Swedish Chef recently appeared on Cartoon Network's Robot Chicken, a show using toys and Mego dolls to create sketch comedy scenes. The sketch involved the Chef running into various people and things that rhyme with "bork" including Björk, Mork, a dork, a poster for New York, Quark, Peter Tork, a guy playing Zork, a man selling pork, a fork, a spork, and an Orc. The sketch ended with the Chef returning home and yelling at his wife, "Get the Hell off my back, woman! Can't I get a moment of fucking peace!?" for asking him about his day. Seth Green, the series' co creator, is a Muppet fan.

I think my favorite Muppet moment ever is from "Sesame Street." And YouTube has it!! It's seriously adorable, and shows how the kids (well, and everyone else, too!) completely interacted with the Muppets as beings in their own right.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Kathy, I knew even before clicking what that would be.

friggin Wisconsin.

Happy Birthdays all the weekend Birthday havers!!!

My lunch was yummy (turkey & cheddar & arugula wrap) but it didn't take! I could have had like 3 of them. I think my body has gotten used to some very unhealthy eating lately. Yesterday it was bbq sandwich w/ apple butter bbq sauce and cider donuts (from a pumpkin patch) and then hot dog and fries at the rollerderby championship. And pink lemonade. Not a single vegetable!

I am discomforted by that Swedish Chef bit. Muppets don't swear.

I wish I could watch youtubes on this computer.

The Israeli "Sesame Street" is probably quite different from the original, what with all the dubbing and the different holidays and cultures and all. I don't think I ever saw a non-Israeli "Sesame Street" scene from "Sesame Street". Hmm.

Do you at least have a good theme song for Sesame Street, Nilly?

Sunny day
Sweepin' the clouds away
On my way
To where the air is sweet
Can you tell me how to get
How to get to Sesame Street?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Interesting bit'o' Muppet knowedge - Rowlf the dog predates even Sesame Street. He used to be a guest on some chat/variety show (Hec would probably know this).

My favorite Muppets are Beaker and Dr. Bunson Honeydew. Poor Beaker - he was pretty much the Mr. Bill of the Muppet world.
