Ginger, Iā€™m with youā€¦ Sweetums! And, of course, Animal. Since Iā€™m a drummer myself. Oh yeah, Dr Teeth, too. ā€œDr Teeth and the Electric Mayhemā€. I SWEAR that everyone that I was ever in a band with was represented in Dr Teethā€™s ensemble. ---

And it was classic Muppets (ad lib and all). I loved it! My favorites include: Kermit, Robin, Fozzie, and Rowlf. I liked Statler and Waldorf too. My Sesame Street favorites were Cookie Monster and Oscar the Grouch. Elmoā€™s cute too. On a different vein, what was your favorite Muppet musical skit? Mine was the one with ā€œThe Lime and The Coconut.ā€ You knowā€¦ ā€œyou put the lime with the coconut and shake them both upā€¦ā€ ---

Grover. When Iā€™m paying bills, I always think the people who get my SuperGrover checks are the luckiest. ---

Grover. When I was in pre-school (4 or so), my teacher read us ā€œThereā€™s A Monster At The End Of This Book,ā€ which starred Grover. I was hooked and have been ever since. ---

Did anyone else see Cookie Monster on the [Martha Stewart Show](http://www.marthastewart.com/television/program_guide/Segments/TVS5739a.asp?idContentType=1&dtDateSelected=2%2F21%2F01)? Unfortunately, thereā€™s no clip, and I canā€™t do justice to how funny it wasā€¦Martha tries to bake something special with CM (and trying not to divulge that theyā€™re making cookies). Near the end of the segment she lets the word ā€œcookieā€ slip, and CM goes BERZERK! ā€œDid you say cookie? ME WANT COOKIE! ME WANT COOOOKIE!!! AAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!ā€ They cut to commercial, and come back to a panting, heaving, slightly humbler Cookie Monster, tied up head-to-toe in about 20 feet of strong ropeā€¦ [sub]Did I mention that I saw this while flipping channels at 4am during a bout of insomnia? Itā€™s amazing that I didnā€™t wake the house with my guffaws.[/sub] ---

Lesseā€¦ I third Swedish Chef and I also love Waldorf and Statler, Beaker, Grover and those little Aliens that go yupyupyup. I really need to buy the Muppet videos and a copy of Elmopalooza (they got the aliens in it!)
