i'm using it as a text tone.

I just have to share this gripey Muppet review with someone 'cause it's bugging me so much. Not quite enough to want to engage with the guy and argue with him (plus, she added grudgingly, it's just his opinion, I guess he's entitled to it, or whatever), but enough to still be mildly nettled.

He dislikes it because it's too hip (after all, it's not like Jim Henson was a late beatnik/early hippie/proto-Yippie tweaker of conventions who liked to sneak adult layers into his wholesome kids' entertainment--er, no wait, never mind) and self-referential (come on, it wasn't like the Muppet Show was a backstage comedy about the world's longest-running terrible vaudeville show, complete with its own snarking too-cool-for-it-all hecklers--er, no, wait, never mind) and too full of one and two-line cameos by a ludicrous parade of celebrities with no connection aside from loving the Muppets and wanting to be in a movie with them (a RADICAL departure from every other Muppet venture ever--er, no, wait, never mind), and... oh, never mind.

It just reads like a review by someone who has hallowed, gilded and entirely static memories of all things Muppety in his mind but has not actually watched a Muppet project in at least a decade, and whose knowledge of Jim Henson begins and ends with "Created beloved institution Sesame Street (which I also haven't watched in decades)."

Well, clearly it's a betrayal of Henson's original vision. [link]

Oh, JZ, what a griping gripey dumbass! I mean, seriously, dude, our generation learned snarky and meta from the Muppets!

I try and stay away from emotion-inspiring ring tones, you know? Unless the emotion is pure and unbridled joy, and even then.

Nothing makes me happier than hearing the ring tone I assigned to every member of my family (that would be the theme from The Addams Family).

Unless it's Tim's ring tone (the Sanford and Son theme [no, he doesn't work in a junkyard, but I really think a scrap metal recycler is close enough]).

You know what? My family deserves custom ring tones. You've just added to my to do list. It will be a reward task.

I can't get Tim to make my ring tone (on his phone) "Sexy Motherfucker."

I don't know why I haven't broken up with him yet.

Seriously. I have no idea what you see in him.

I don't think I have anyone who knows how to make a custom ringtone who would make one for me. I am forlorn. ::sniff::

Don't be surprised if he puts "Pussy Control" on instead.

I would have made his "Lola," but that would just invite questions I'm not willing to answer.
