2. Kermit rules

And I'm a bit worried about you thinking Beaker had a girlish figure - dude, he's like totally tubular. He's all man....or boy...or something....he's the Muppets' very own phallic symbol...... :o

As long as you realize that there are people in the world who are lucky to even catch a rumor of a smooch - spare a thought for those less fortunate than you, like John Ashcroft.

is going to have to go through life without either my sympathy or my smooches. - Maybe you could spare a smooch for him, Forrest?

No, no, Forrest! Telling him to smooch your ass doesn't really count.

And not the Hell in Michigan!

He's less fortunate out of choice. If he were a decent human being, he could get some smooches.

You are having a rough morning it seems...

But then dreaming of the subjects you are would tend to cause confusion - lack of blood flow to the brain is a likely culprit.

Did I get out of bed with a "THWAP ME" sign on my back, or something?

You're right, though - my face is really pale right now. Perhaps I should try to redirect some blood flow back toward my head.

I've been seeing female impersonators everywhere....
