Yay, that's awesome! Wow, it feels really great to be recognized for all your hard work, hehe. Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has posted here before for making this such a pleasant and enjoyable place to hang out. :wink:

In the spirit of the moment, it is with no humility (hehe), that I present the amazing and wonderous work of the great opera singing Wading Bird, Placido Flamingo!

Placido and Ernie present Up and Down (this is the one people always say scared them as kids. I personally don't see it, but then again I was scared of a talking chair!)

Placido sings himself to sleep (while simultaneously teaching the audience a fun fact about Flamingos)

No prob! I love the way Big Bird says, "Yes, I'm very proud of them" all dignified and all, lol.

Also always loved the way most of the Muppets have to literally cover their eyes to make it look like they're sleeping, lol.

That is /adorable/...I'm having some trouble figuring out where the hands are though. Are they just Beaker's hands folded, or is there somebody back there reaching through Bill Myer?

I was wondering that too, but I think I'm going to go with the hands were already folded.

Wow, apparently Peter Baird was the son of famous puppeteer Bill Baird. I wondered that as soon as I saw his last name. Cool!

Nice photo, very nice, love the black and white striped shirt. And if Richard can't get all the way into the shot, at least Beaker can. (But it kinda looks as if Beaker's begging for mercy...)
