I’m writing about the first random thoughts that come to mind today as I watch daytime television and eat my now-cold breakfast. It’s going to be all over the place, so bear with me.
- First thought: In the last sentence of the 1st paragraph, was that supposed to be “bear” or “bare”? Where is my copy of “The Elements Of Style” when I need it?
- I miss Oates’ moustache. Hall and Oates are on the Today show, and I can’t help but reminisce back to the days of John Oates’ prominent John Holmes porn star looking moustache. I think he inspired Saddam Hussein, The Whispers and Steve Harvey. Truly, a trendsetter if ever there were one.
The legendary John Oates moustache
Now, he looks more like an old white version of Prince.
- I was talking to a dear friend of mine the other night, and we got on the topic of The Muppet Show. That was classic entertainment! It’s funny how people who watched it as a kid loved the characters, but it’s actually funnier when you watch it once you’re grown. You realize that most of the jokes on the show were meant for grown folks.
Kermit the Frog was one of my heroes. I actually took my stuffed Kermit with me to college. I’m suprised I never ended up in a fight with anybody over being a grown man with a stuffed Kermit the Frog. Probably because I constantly used that poor thind to do ignorant antics for attention, like making him hump women the way this now infamous gif illustrates.
Alas, my stuffed Kermit met an untimely demise after college when I let the kids that lived next door to me play with him. This stuffed animal lasted for years, and all it took was 30 minutes in the hands of a three year old with a cup of kool aid to permanently destroy him.
Other than Kermit, my favorite characters on the Mupper Show were Stadler and Waldorf. Two old school player haters in the balcony talking trash. It doesn’t get any better than that.
- Speaking of hecklers, those black guys that Kramer made fun of are going to sue him and make a nice little piece of change. There are all kinds of ways that they can pimp this situation. They could say that his words caused “immense pain and suffering, ruining their evening and causing all kinds of emotional strife.” They could even try to say it’s ruined their sex life, since there’s no way to really prove that. It’s not like the defense attorney is going to have a stripper come into the courtroom and give the plaintiffs lap dances to prove that everything is working down there.
- Do you think any celebrities would let me interview them for free? What about half-@ssed celebrities? Ok…What about chicks from music videos? Alright. Specifically, the girl with the big behind from Chingy’s “Them Jeans” video? Warning: This link contains Ghetto Ass
- Actually, forget that last thought. I just want to interview Ciara. In bed. She has been looking really good to me since she dyed her hair black. Since the video for “Promise” and the other one from that “Save The Last Dance”-looking movie, she’s fast moved up the list of my celebrity crushes. I used to think that she looked too much like Wanda Sykes, but not so much anymore.
- No disrespect to Wanda Sykes. If I were in my 40s or 50s, I’d hit that. I’m not, though, so I’m setting my sights on Ciara. If she let Bow Wow get it, dammit she’ll let me.
- I put a lot of links in here, didn’t I? Look at it this way: You can stay here for a longer amount of time than usual, and your day-before-the-holiday will go by much faster.
- Lastly, this goes out to you, stuffed Kermit. May you rest in peace.
“Someday you’ll find it, the rainbow connection, the lovers, the dreamers and me”
aq*dies laughing*
My brother has a thing for Kermit too… *shruggs*
yeah you used the right bear. Yes the ‘stache’ was the shit. I have a munchichi (remember those). I refuse to let anyone under the age of 18 and the mind-set of 22 years old touch her. She’s been down since 1980. So, don’t feel bad for having had a Kermit in college—R.I.P Kermy
What is with guys and Kermit, my brother had a stuffed Kermit too. Yeah the muppets were the SHIZNIT! I had a crush on Gonzo, and Monster, they were so fly
that kermit gif brings back bad memories. my ex posted that in my comments section…i giggled and thought it was cute…until i found out he sent it to most of his 900 female friends on myspace. didnt feel so cute after that … thanks for bringing that back LMAO hehe
Too funny. Small world. Who was up last night putting H&O Greatest Hits on their MP3 player? Who also has a Kermit the Frog? Too wierd. My favorite Muppet character was Gonzo. But Kermit and Van Morrison got it right:It’s not easy being green.(smile)
It’s not easy being green!
Stadler and whoever used to remind me of two men that went to my church. haha
Wow.. Ciara does look like Wanda Sykes… no that wasn’t the only thing I got from you post… but I thought Kermit was getting enough comment-respect.
Smooches!
Hi Leon – I’ve been reading your blog for about a month now after randomly finding it online. It never fails to make me laugh out loud, so thanks for the entertainment.
I just had to chime in this time because you reminded me of one of my favorite shows of all time. I’ve got to put a Muppet Show DVD on my Christmas wish list!
Also, I have to exclaim: John Oates is white?!
man I’d hit wanda sykes now…and I’m only 27…she got a older sexy thing going on to me…like the actress jennifer lewis (fresh prince’s DIVA aunt..lol)
Wanda prolly gets smashed on the regular too….Have a happy holiday Leon~~~~
How the hell did that girl get the fat to only go to her ass and thighs? Dang she got a huge badunga-dunk
I loved the Muppet Show… sigh…being young and mindless to toons was the bomb…oh well so much for reality kickin in like a mother fu..er
awww… I had a crush on a dude in high school and our code name for him was kermit the frog… I don’t really know why but there you have it… anywayz I commented on your myspace so hit me back chump.
p.s. I think I am dyslexic… I can never get the dayum word verification right the first time *smh* I always have to retype it… *sigh*
Loved the randomness. LOL…you didn’t know that kids nowadays will tear some ish up and jack up your memories? Damn shame. Have a good holiday, sweetie.
I am SO HAPPY someone else noticed that Ciara = Wanda Sykes! Because I been sayin’ that isht for the longest time! Oh, and the Muppets were off the meatrack! I loved Animal myself– something about his zeal for just about anything. And yes, I’m still rockin H&O, too. –ALove
The ‘stache makes him look surprisingly similar to Borat…
Love H&O, and I had a monchichi, too! My destructive cousins destroyed it years ago when we were all still young, probably sometime right after they sat in the living room and snapped every.single.crayon in my bucket in half….demon children.
