Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
The Henson funeral always struck me as somewhat weird, in that there are all these people he worked with who weren't really at the funeral, because they were being the characters. I wonder if they did a Muppeteer wake afterwards.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I was at the Henson Memorial. When Big Bird came down the aisle it felt like maybe everything would be alright.

A friend of mine was working at Henson. I saw him ushering and when I went over he nearly hugged me in half. He kept telling me how beautiful it was going to be. They'd all been away for days trying to make something wonderful for Jim. There was a private memorial later.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I...ohhhh, Trudy! I hate to say that I'm jealous of anyone's attendance at a memorial, but I still remember exactly where I was when I heard Jim Henson had died (in a car with a fellow poetry student and a Spy magazine summer intern, driving to see Spike & Mike's animation festival at an arthouse theatre in Rhinebeck, listening to NPR--and then, suddenly, all three of us stunned and silent and then shouting, "NO!" at the radio). It's a horrible thing that he had to die at all, but how sad and amazing that you were part of that memorial to such a man.
Did Harry Belafonte really get up and sing this song? I would have so completely lost it at that point.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
I can't watch the Big Bird/Henson thing. I cried hearing the announcement in my car followed by the station playing "The Rainbow Connection." I could tear up now just thinking about it.
In related news, my friends have studio space in the Henson studios (old Chaplin studios). It's so cool there! Kermit is on top of the building in the suit from The Little Tramp. Adorable.
