You shuffle out of Caledonian Lane full of cheap Coopers on a Thursday evening, and you need it. Something greasy. In your mind, you know you shouldn't, but who's to stop you? Jerome? Heh. And Ronald's den is just there in front of you on the corner. Before you know it you're inhaling one those plastic looking cheeseburgers, and a little part of you has died.
Focus on Jim Henson
Dr. Bunsen Honeydew here at Muppet Labs, where the future is being made today. And what a sad day it is too, for Beaker, my fickle and wayward assistant, has gone missing. Drama. Pathos! The Muppets are so much more than a bunch of anthropomorphic creatures with hands up their patooties. They are entertainers.
