Down To The Wire

Yes, my LOYAL FOLLOWERS, I'm nearly there after a LONG, LONG pregnancy! This baby co-created by Mookie and me is my biggest creation yet! Of course, in the Muppet World, you never know exactly what you're going to get. It/she/he might be finger puppet for all I know.

But I do know this: muppets take three times longer to conceive, incubate and birth than you humans, so it's a pretty big deal to get pregnant when you're a muppet!

I don't know if you can see my maternity wear very good in this photo, but it says "Born To Be Wild" in gold, and this is what I want: a wild and free child!! With human freedoms being curtailed all over the place, maybe we muppets will save the day with our "under-the-radar" actions. We're actually smarter than we look. Well, most of us anyway.

Hey, if any of you are pals with Stephen Colbert, tell him I want to be on tv with him too. As I sat here all bulged out with baby on board, I was so jealous of Big Bird and that old trash can grouch showing up on The Colbert Report! I think Stephen and I probably share the same genome, at least by the look of his one ear.Have you noticed it? I'm sure we're related. Stephen, are you listening????

My BIG HUGE GINORMOUS BABY BUMP

Heroes, Gurus and Other Poobahs

As my buddies know, I'm a huge fan of Stephen Colbert.

He's The Man! 

We have a few things in common such as we both thrive on thunderous applause and love to play with & punk others--especially the pompous, pretentious types.

However, I'm probably not even on his gaydar.

I mean radar.

Yet he was kind enough to let me get into a photo with him this year. Oh, that other famous Gates lady was in the shot too, but he was pointing at ME.


Here's a copy of my tweet for that memorable moment:


“I am #teachers …and you can too!” Join @Stephenathome & @Melindagates Foundation to raise $100K for teachers! http://smgf.co/19662


That little http photo link in the tweet graphically demonstrates how taken he was with me. 

My next dream is to meet and have my photo taken with two hilarious men: Swami Beyondananda and Puppetji, both masters of word play. I could sit at their feet all day & steal ideas.


Swami B. has so many great quotes and words of wisdom. Here's one I adore:

"There's no need to change the world. All we have to do is toilet train the world, and we'll never have to change it again."


See what I mean? Swami is so down to earth.
