I’d have to be one of those purple shaggy alien dudes, transfixed by the radio

Uh-ha, uh-ha, radio, yep, yep, yep ,…

I love Fozzy.

But I am more of a Tweeny I guess…  
I want to be a female Milo… he always makes a mess “by mistake” and gets the whiny one (Jake) to cry.

Wonder about my knowledge of BBC Kids?  
Damn… so do I… what the hell did I do this summer!!!

Although my nickname in school was Beaker, I think I’m now somewhere between Dr. Honeydew and Rizzo the Rat. Blissfully detatched but still sarcastic.

–sublight.

Boober Fraggle.

Complete with discoloured socks constantly hanging in my room.

Probably I’d be Fozzie Bear: love the corny jokes. If not I’d be Big Tiny Tall-Saddle, the western singer, mostly because of the cool moniker.

Definitely Fozzie. I’ve got that whole joke telling, earnest, eager to entertain type of personality.

I’m totally the offspring of the bastard child of Statler & Waldorf, after having mated with Fozzy & Gonzo’s love child.

(Muppets don’t really go much by gender, do they?)

Gonzo is defintely male, since he’s head over heels for Miss Piggy and Camilla.

I want to be the cat that was always hanging out on the bannister, backstage at the theatre. Probably because right now, I need a nap.
