Is that just regular peril or pairill. Writing that in an English accent isn't as easy as it looks. It sounds a lot more meaner though. More perilous than regular peril.

I'm sorry I'm not sure that decomplicated is possible here. I mean what's an off-her-rocker ramble without the complicated meanderings of phrase?

While the flame thrower, has yet to be tested I'm sure that it will come in handy. Turns out the chainsaw wasn't such a brillant idea. The George Washington zombie sort of stole it and went to town cuttin' down all the cherry trees. Good for pie, bad for trees. Hmm... maybe we could use the flame thrower to heat up the pies?! No, probably a bad idea we might accidentally start the cherry trees ablaze and then we wouldn't have any pie.
We could use them to start a nice comfy fire in the fireplace? Wait, no it's May, bit warm for a hearth fire. Maybe we could just throw the pies at the zombies and while they are distracted by the laugh track we can go into hiding! Cause that's what we do here with the thread of the hiding! Aha! See I knew I had a point in there somewhere.

Yeah, so not so much the the decomplication. Sorry, I'll try harder next time. Or possibly just be more trying. I often get those two mixed up.

The Green Giant is nae in fact a puppet. Well apparently once but not thereafter so you're right to mistrust him and his lack of puppetyness.

Right. Well you all owe me a box of kleenex.

I've just spent nearly an hour looking through all those links. So sad. That was one of those moments that I will always remember where I was when I heard he died.
I was 10 and it was the end of my 5th grade year. The next year we did our school program with all the music from the different Muppet shows.

The worst part of all of that is Sammy Davis Jr. died the very same day (or within a day) and Jim's death went largely overlooked by the press.

That day was truly sad for me because I grew up with his creations and he always put a smile on my face.

One funny thing I remember is he took Rolf on the Tonight Show and when Johnny said "hi" to him, Rolf said, "Johnny! Son of a Bitch!" Which really shocked the audience. Then Rolf said, "No, no! To a dog, that's a compliment!" Which threw the audience into hysterics.

But to a finer point, I don't really know this "Kermit" the puppet your all talking about. The only TRUE Kermit is a Muppet, don't you know.

BIG difference there.

It's ok I didn't watch it. I let the fear win over me. You shouldn't feel bad about the crying at commercials. I don't have a condition (well not THAT condition anyway) and I cry at commercials, and songs, books, and pretty much everything else under the sun. Actually my worst is when I go to see a play or musical. Even if it's upbeat and funny I always cry. Strange, I know, but it never really bothers me. Just the people I'm with... it's FUN to embarass other people!

I do however think that the person who posted the link shall be beaten with a bag of marshmallows.
