Can we get a hint as to what the next visual is?
Don't be green with envy; but I'd listen to Beau on this one:

I have no idea why, but I always considered Ernie an Italian American, and I just always envisioned that's how he'd look. :stick_out_tongue: btw, is my favorite.
Well, isn't Ernie an Italian name anyway?

Ernie comes from Ernesto. Isnt that of Spanish decent?
It's the Italian, Portuguese, or Spanish form of the name Ernest, which is English. So...yeah...lol.

The opening:
For you cats watchin' the clock, I realize it's still not Friday here on the east coast, but due to the fact that I hafta' help my brother-in-law move tomorrow, I won't be around in the morning, so you get this one a bit early. Besides, it's Friday somewhere in the world!

The Red Tape:
Hate to sound like a broken record, but before we begin, just a reminder:
• Fan Artists click here!
• Anyone who wants to actually appear in an upcoming visual click here!
• And anyone who may be able to help me with some Muppet photos, please, please, please click here!!!

The Disclaimer:
I wanna' clarify last week's visual, and the actions necessary to clarify whether it's season 36 or 37. In all honesty, I don't know and I didn't really care either, next time I'll try and do a little more reseach. :wink:

The Visual:
It's Not Easy Bein' Green... But it sure is popular!
So right off the bat; I want to tell you that in no way shape or form would this visual have been possible without the tremendous help and research of our own Beauregard. I pitched him an idea about the world's most beloved green characters, approaching him with about 10 or 11 of 'em. Beau, through the course of three months or so, then developed that list to a whopping forty-six green characters!!! Now if I was smart, I'd hold off this one until Saint Patty's Day... but not only am I not smart, I'm impatient too, so today Beau and I present to you my personally favorite visual that has been my desktop for the past month. I hope you like it too!
