Poll #40 Who is the coolest Muppet?

     “Da ta da ta da, da ta da ta da, da ta da ta da da… DAAA!… It’s The Muppet Show!”  How many times over the years have you heard those words (and horns) introduce yet another half hour of fun, satire, and frivolity?  Yes, everyone knows The Muppets, that rag-tag band of half-mop, half-puppets that made us laugh through the late 70’s and beyond.  This week’s poll explores just who is the coolest muppet out there.  Is it Kermit, the pork-whipped, leader of the ensemble?  Could it be Miss Piggy, the first sow in space (and what a full rack…raaaww!)  or maybe you think it was The Great Gonzo, resident evil genius and my favorite.
            Anyway, vote for your favorite and if they’re not listed in the poll tell me who it is and why they’re the coolest as a comment on this posting.

  1. My favorite muppet of all time, assclown the muppet. He has a great sense of humor, he is quite easy to make fun of, mainly because he is a windowlicker. He was actually a contestant on the most recent American Idol, I believe he went by the false name of Paul. He had the big Grover looking fuzzy face, and those ceramic white teeth, he absolutely has to be a muppet. I think the best thing about him is the way he brings out the urge to slap the S#@T out of him every time you see him.

  2. No Swedish chief love? He was great. Also do the sesame street cast count as "muppets"? If so, cookie monster (the ultimate emasticator) super Grover 2.0:)

    That is "Swedish Chefese" for:
    I would consider the Sesame Street cast as "pre-muppets." and therefore ineligible for inclusion in this discussion.

  5. *sigh* Just pick one already. If I wanted a list of every muppet ever created I would've posted this on Wikipedia. *sigh*

  6. Well if they were posted on Wikipedia then they would be 40% inaccurate, being the rules of Wiki state..

    "All 'facts' must not contain any more than 60% truth"

    Somewhat like how Pea and Ham soup contains no more than 20% pea to the 70% ham, so more like ham ham ham and pea soup. like spam spam spam and spam (and Eggs) but less spam.

  8. I always preferred my Spam nailed to a perch, the color of the plumage never bothered me.

  11. Look, matey, I know a dead parrot when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now.

    The plumage don't enter into it. It's stone dead.

    All right then, if he's restin', I'll wake him up! (shouting at the cage) 'Ello, Mister Polly Parrot! I've got a lovely fresh cuttle fish for you if you show...

    Um...now look...now look, mate, I've definitely 'ad enough of this. That parrot is definitely deceased, and when I purchased it not 'alf an hour ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it bein' tired and shagged out following a prolonged squawk.

    Look, I took the liberty of examining that parrot when I got it home, and I discovered the only reason that it had been sitting on its perch in the first place was that it had been NAILED there.

  12. No, no.....No, 'e's stunned!

    Yeah! You stunned him, just as he was wakin' up! Norwegian Blues stun easily, major.

    Well, he's...he's, ah...probably pining for the fjords.

    The Norwegian Blue prefers keepin' on it's back! Remarkable bird, id'nit, squire? Lovely plumage!

  15. Amongst our weaponry are such diverse elements as: fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope, and nice red uniforms!!!
