Ernie's hair looked messy, he was bug-eyed his voice was sligtly monotone and whispy. Bert's shirt had the same colors as today but Ernie's was purple, pink, yellow and orange.

Ya know what? If you plug in "Jackie" where it says "Bert" and "Emmy" "Ernie", this takes on a whooooole new level of humor... *snicker*

And a rubber chicken. Don't forget the rubber chicken.

Or the muffins.

Uh, ya mean "argyle" socks? lol Looks like you were too excited over them saddle shoes!

And just make sure the muffins aren't rubber---let's not go there.

Byronius--

Mikey Bee 97542345235 said that about the orgill (misspelled right?) socks. I was quoting him.

Rubber muffins, huh? Hmm...now I feel suddenly lonely for some reason...

Well, one thing about Bert: He has wrinkles in his fleece sometimes. That's ONE sure thing you don't have to worry about Fozzie, cause he's furry. You cannot see wrinkles under fur, right Byron?

FOZ!

Even though Fozzie is furry, he looked kind of ugly during the first season of the Muppet show.

 

[Fozzie Bear]

Yeah, but you didn't see wrinkles in his head!

 

[MIKEB97]

Nope. He never had wrinkles and He'll always be funny!

 

[Fozzie Bear]

I just KNEW you'd see it my way!

Thanks, man! Fozzie's cool! I just hope Frank will make his comeback as him!

Unfortunately, I don't forsee Frank Oz coming back as Fozzie Bear again.

I think he pretty much has retired himself from it all, hence the replacement performers for his characters.

I think it says alot about a guy, too, when it takes 3 or 4 performers to do your job, you know? Frank Oz was the best; too bad he had to let it go.

I'm going to go curl up in a corner and cry now.

I couldn't agree more. I'll miss Frank's Fozzie and his Animal and Piggy. At least he still does Cookie in a few "Letter of the Day" segments and he did Grover in one too.
