I thank the Muppets for chiming in...

I remember learning of Jim's passing. Certainly no other entertainer I loved had died in my lifetime (that I knew of) until that point, and there was no one like Jim, anyhow.

I've never heard a bad word about him - it seems as if he was one of those people who are almost too good for this world. You know, there's a quality in his interviews, quotes - and of course, creations - that just give off that positive vibe. How lucky we were to have him, and to still have his expressions on media we can play today. I thank all of Jim's crew (including family and friends) - past and present, with us or passed. I'm also glad the characters live on - so thank you to everyone keeping them alive now. And I appreciate all of you here who have been touched by the worlds Jim and his friends created - I know I certainly have.

And of course, I thank Jim.

Sorry Friends, I thought the embedded code would play the video, here is the link to the video that I think all Muppet fans real need to see.

eh, I'm really starting to get sick of Pepe's raunchiness even if it is in a fan script. I think it's a shame how the morals of the Muppets have been slowly deteriorating because of characters like Pepe.
