Steve and Eric talk about taking over Kermit and Miss Piggy, and what it’s like being a Muppet performer.
Muppet Monday
Ducky: …
Me: …
Ducky: Thanks for coming in.
Me: Yeah. I wanted to.
Ducky: …
Me: …
Ducky: It still feels strange.
Me: I know.
Ducky: …
Me:
Ducky: I miss her, Daddy.
Me: Me too, Duck.
Ducky: …
Me: …
Ducky: She was a good sister.
Me: The two of you made a good team.
Ducky: We were the security system for you and the mama at the house.
Me: Yup.
Ducky: If she saw or heard something suspicious she would howl and alert me to get ready to attack! That howl could wake me from a dead sleep!
Me: Yeah.
Ducky: She had really good hearing.
Me: Yup. Pretty sure she could hear stuff outside when she was dead asleep inside.
Ducky: But she never really needed me to attack.
Me: No. But you made us both feel safe.
Ducky: …
Me: …
Ducky: Sometimes when I sleep, I dream that we’re back at home. And we’re all together and Foley howls. And then I wake up…
Me: Sorry, Duck.
Ducky: No. It’s not bad. It’s nice to dream. It feels real. And even if I get a little sad when I first wake up, I don’t want to forget her.
Me: Neither do I, Duck. We were really lucky to have her in our family. I don’t ever want to forget her.
Ducky: …
Me: …
Ducky: So what do we do now?
Me: …
Ducky: …
Me: I could rub your belly the way that Foley liked me to rub hers.
Ducky: And I could snort like a piggy like she did.
Me: Sounds like a good plan.
Ducky: I love you, Daddy.
Me: I love you, Ducky.

Muppet Monday Part II There is a fine line between clever and, “Wauuughhh!!!! What the &$@$ is that!?! Run! Hide the children! I’ll fend off these creatures as long as I can! Tell Sally I loved her!” AgMiss Piggy and Kermit the Frog as portrayed by my woman and myself respectively.
Muppet Monday
Ok, folks, this one is kinda amazing.
Muppets+Star Wars+A Singin’ in the Rain Reference+A Completely Disney Ending.
It’s like what I would hallucinate if I took acid!
And one of my favorite moments in Muppet history is the Darth Nader reveal at about 3:10. Gonzo always makes me happy, but he makes me giddy in this!
