[QUOTE=Freudian Slit] I don’t know why they called him Crazy Herry. He seemed perfectly reasonable to me. Now Grover…there was an irrational fellow. [/QUOTE] I’m sure Homeland Security would agree with you that setting off explosives at random is calm, ordinary behavior. ---

Round Two of Muppet Madness is now complete. I will post the brackets for Round Three before I go to bed. Some notes on Round Two: - Several down-to-the-wire matchups this time; I had to cast two tie-breaker votes, and a third match was decided by only two votes. - Elmo was crushed like a bug. - No Muppet seeded worse than #6 is still in the tourney, and of the 12 Muppets seeded #1, #2 or #3, only Elmo is gone. - The most lopsided contest was Statler/Waldorf 44, Scooter 3, but after further consideration I’m awarding the victory to Scooter. I mean, his uncle does own the theater. - No, not really. Here are the full results: **Jim Henson Division** \*\*1. Kermit the Frog - 38 \*\* vs 8. Rizzo the Rat - 9 \*\*2. Grover - 29 \*\* vs 7. Crazy Harry - 17 3. Elmo - 5 **vs 6. Dr. Teeth - 42** **4. The Swedish Chef - 39** vs 5. Aloysius Snuffleupagus - 8 **Frank Oz Division** \*\*1. Cookie Monster - 41 \*\* vs 9. Floyd Pepper - 5 **2. Ernie - 28** vs 10. The Newsman - 18 **3. Oscar the Grouch - 24** vs 6. Beaker - 22 4. Gonzo - 23 **vs 5. Animal - 23** (I cast the tiebreaker for Animal – Eat Drums!) **Dave Goelz Division** **1. Big Bird - 30** vs 8. Robin the Frog - 16 **2. Count von Count - 36** vs 7. Guy Smiley - 10 **3. Fozzie Bear - 38** vs 6. Janice - 9 **4. Statler and Waldorf - 44** vs 5. Scooter - 3 **Richard Hunt Division** **1. Miss Piggy - 30** vs 9. Zoot - 17 **2. Bert - 31** vs 7. Herry Monster - 15 **3. Sam the Eagle - 28** vs 11. Mahna Mahna - 19 4. Dr. Bunson Honeydew - 23 **vs 5. Rowlf - 23** (Argh! It breaks my heart to vote against Honeydew, but Rowlf wins on the strength of the line about taking himself for a walk before going to bed.)
