The Muppets are....... not real.

I’ll be damned, a Spellsinger fan. I thought I was the only one. :slight_smile:

(It’s terribly depressing, apo . . . but you’re not. Damn. I just outed myself.)

One of the best posts I’ve seen. Almost fell out of my chair laughing. Can’t wait until the Piggy/Kermie subject comes up at a Christmas party so I can use it.

Awright, I’ve had enough!!

At least two years ago, Miss Piggy was interviewed by John Stewart on The Daily Show. Miss Piggy had a sore throat that day, and John Stewart said,

“What’s the matter, frog in your throat?”

As the audience roared, Miss Piggy did a classic slow burn, something I had previously thought impossible by a person with cloth eyes.

After the audience died down, Miss Piggy quietly said to John: “Nice one.”

So, credit where credit is due, people.

Moses, the kid next door who told me that joke when I was eight?

I’d give him credit, but he moved to Detroit.

:stuck_out_tongue:

Obviously you haven’t read the US Constitution. That restriction only applies to the office of President.

Statler: The Union’s in the WORST state it’s ever been!
Waldorf: It’s TERRIBLE!
S: Part’s of it aren’t bad.
W: Some of it is OK
S: I quite like some of it.
W: Some of the Union is great.
S: Terrific
W: More more.
S: Encore encore.

Should we form a support society?

But the Constitution also states:

(Bolding and snipping courtesy of kaylasdad99)

The clear implication of the above is that a candidate for Vice President must be eligible to serve as President.

And if clear implicatioins aren’t enough for you, here’s the last sentence from that link:

But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.

Which means Kissinger was screwed from the beginning even though he would have make a great muppet (that face-- that voice!).

I’ve actually been to a university graduation and the commencement speaker was Kermit.

Cool. I’ve caused a pit thread about Muppets to drift into a debate on the Constitution.

That’s why I love this place.

Well, like kaylasdad said, it’s was my belief that the vice-presisdent couldn’t be naturalized since that would make him ineligible to be president and that’s the whole point of him. (And if he could be born elsewhere, all Osama Bin Laden would have to do is become a citizen, get elected vice president, and assasinate his running mate, and he’d be running the country. And then where would we be?)

But now I hear the Swedish Chef is not really Swedish (can nothing be relied upon in this fallen world?)

So what the hell is he?

After the last one I read, maybe so.

He should’ve stopped while he was ahead… :frowning:

Ok, I was completely and utterly wrong. I’m pathetically grateful for being corrected. Of course this foils Plan A for world domination. I must now switch to plan B which involves heading an appropriate UN organisation and then getting the United States to join the one world government without no Amendment XII getting in my way. But Plan C may be better, if I an just get the sharkes to wear the ‘lasers’.

In any event as penance for being both wrong and off-topic (in the BBQ Pit?) I’ve agreed to do one gig with The Fabuous Zucchini Brothers:

wa hey up hey wah hey up canon how up wah hey load up way hey

NO NO NO feet first FEET FIRST F-E-E-T F-I BOOOOOM

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

ta-da!

(slightly) Better off.

I thought he took up translating?

Swedish Chef

As long as they don’t make Kermit the new “Scud Stud,” it can’t be that bad…

But I thought they revealed that he was Japanese.

Frankly, if any of the Muppets were hired to do a full-time gig as interviewers, I’d never miss a broadcast–as puppets, they can probably get away with asking some of the hard-hitting questions that humans don’t dare ask.

As for the politician stuff, I’d vote for a Muppet in a second.
