Somehow I'd never seen this before today. So good.

Here's every video clip I could find of Muppets using their legs. Happy going-to-see-The-Muppets day!

I know there must be more clips out there. If you find them, toss them in the comments section. :)

Tumblr Tuesday

It's Thanksgiving week, and I'm pretty thankful for Muppets, as I'm sure you've noticed.

I'm thankful that they sing great songs, I'm thankful that they aren't afraid to try new things, and possibly fail. I'm thankful that they appreciate humor. I'm thankful that they've existed my entire life. I'm thankful that they continued to exist even after the loss of Jim Henson (the ultimate Dead but Cool).

So of course, I'm also thankful for this week's tumblr Tuesday. Ladies and dorks, Muppet Mayhem.

The Muppets Are Coming!

Sorry for all the Muppet related posts as of late, but I'm stoked about the new film The Muppets which opens the day before Thanksgiving. I must figure out a way to convince my family, whom I haven't seen in almost a year, that we should spend two of our precious hours together in the dark not talking...


Anyway, how could I NOT be excited? I mean, Jason Segel co-wrote the screenplay, and I just get the impression this guy really respects the Muppets. Amy Adams is in the movie, and everyone knows that she IS a Muppet (Amy, I mean this as a compliment). And on top of that Brett McKenzie of Flight of the Conchords wrote the songs.


The parody trailers are dripping with amazingness, and then there's this.

Too great, right? Kermit's little legs! How's he ride a bike with those??

This video makes me wish I had a car. And that I still watched Sesame Street.

Found this on Vulture this morning. Enjoy!

Om Nom Nom

It's November 2nd! A very special day indeed, especially if your name is Cookie Monster!!

Happy birthday, buddy. You might be Grover's cousin. You definitely love cookies. And you can even be suave and debonair when hosting Monsterpiece Theater.

Have you good one, buddy!

Vampire Vednesday!

There are plenty of vampires out there, which is good since every Vednesday is Vampire Vednesday here at the G.D.

And it just so happens that today I learned a fascinating fact about my all-time favorite vampire Count von Count!

In some vampire myths, a way to deter a vampire is to throw seeds out a door or place a fishing net outside a widow.

"Why," you ask?

Because upon sighting the seeds or the net, silly old vampires are compelled to count the seeds or the holes in the net and forget their desire to suck your blood! Sometimes, the crazy bastards got so caught up in the counting, they stood there until the sun came up! Rut roh!


Anyway, Count von Count obviously draws from this! ALL MUPPETS ARE BRILLIANT! And here's Captain Picard helping the Count count!
