Muppet Mania

Originally posted July 12, 2006

Today I got in a conversation with a co-worker that somehow circled around to Dr. Bunsen Honeydew from the Muppets. And then I got to thinking about the Muppet Babies cartoon and realized some really disturbing things.

Namely, didn't anyone think it was weird that Nanny had a veritable farm of baby animals living in her house? Not only are we talkin' a baby frog, baby pig and baby bear, but also whatever Gonzo, Animal, and Scooter and Skeeter were. Gonzo...anteater? As for Animal and Scooter and Skeeter, I can't even hazard a guess.

I mean, wouldn't "Nanny's" neighbors think this was odd? That's enough animals to merit a visit from animal control! Especially when unidentifiable creatures are involved. (Has Animal had a rabies shot?!) Also, even though the Muppet Babies wore diapers, I never saw Nanny change them. What's going on, Nanny? If that's even your real name! And what's with those punk striped socks? Why do you never spend REAL time with your Muppet Babies? Why are they always seemingly locked in a room and making a spaceship out of a cardboard box? What's in that brownie?

Nanny could also understand everything baby Beaker said. Something definitely fishy there.

Therefore, I propose Assembly Bill 911. If passed, AB911 (or Nanny's Law) would stipulate that no human may keep a plethora of weird animals in captivity whilst he or she cavorts around in Hot Topic merchandise. Said animals would be subject to repossession and sold to Warner Bros. to perform with Michigan J. Frog as part of a show exploiting creatures who can verbalize. Nanny will be subject to drug testing every month, and must demonstrate that she is a capable caretaker. Background checks will be performed regularly.

Kim commented: Hmm...first I'd have to put a routine together and then learn how to comfortably speak in public. ;0) Ooo, maybe I should develop a lisp! What? It's been done? Drat.

I shamefully have to admit that I loved Muppet Babies too.

Mrs. Duhamel commented: No you just have to have a lisp as well as be a midget who kicks her leg in the air essently(sp?) like she has leg teret syndrome and have cerebral palsey. Well those two go hand and hand! LMAO! Oh and be a pregnant bitch named Stella from New Jersey, WHAT??? You are gauranteed to WIN!!!
