So did anyone grow up watching the Muppets? Muppet Christmas? Muppets in Space? Does anyone know what happened to the gang after say 1993? Well I have the best of news, I'm sitting in my Western Political Heritage class and this boy, who insists on having his nose as far up the professor's....well you know, anyway, not the point...this boy begins speaking and a realize (drum roll please). I FOUND KERMIT THE FROG! he's sitting right there on the front row, six people away from me! No really though, in all seriousness I realize that this kid couldn't possibly be Kermit (he's far too tall), he's the guy that ate him! Kermit speaks though him like some sort of medium from beyond. It's miraculous really. If you close your eyes it's really like Kermit is sitting next to you. I keep waiting for him to break out in a rendition of The Rainbow Connection. It's a truly magnificent experience....except however, when it's eight o'clock in the morning and the last thing you want to hear is some premi rambling off about that which he doesn't know in a frog dialect. But I'm sure you as third party observers would find it all rather fascinating. The best part of it is: he wore a green shirt today!
Another thing I have found that brings me more pleasure than it ought to: my D&C professor gets really into his lectures. I'm reminded of an Evangelical minister on one of those prayer commercials. You know, call and be saved. So he's going off about how we're on this earth to learn how to be gods, and he keeps saying that through the Atonement Christ will be the mediator. He will mediate us. If we submit our will he becomes our mediator....This all sounds well and good, but it gets better (I know right). Every time he mentions any form of "mediate" this grown man who has to be around 6' 4'' will literally bend his knees, lowering himself down about two feet, and do what I fondly refer to as the Perkins Boogie--he wiggles and jiggles to music I'm hoping he's hearing in his head. He actually resembles how I would think a leprechaun would behave once he's found a pot of gold, or the thought of eternal life... I think what really makes it all worth while is the lack of understanding personal space--which makes it truly awkward for those of the front row (myself included). He does this dance on inches from my fellow colleagues' faces. Oh what fun! I wish you could experience my life first-hand. But alas, you cannot and therefore I dedicate this post to all those who unfortunately can't come to class with me.
Until something else more eventful arises

I am a certifiable Muppets nerd. While any sort of nerdiness ought not surprise you, coming from me, I realize this particular kind might--it's kind of rare.
These days, the Muppets are mostly in one of two places: Weezer videos, or my living room. Well, I guess my family watches them, too.
I'm sad that this boy in your class insists on defiling kermit by inserting him in your professor's posterior. could you please ask him to let kermit rest in peace? if things get dicey, you can use ms. piggy's karate moves.
