Who is your favorite Muppet? Why?

Am I that fucking old? Do we really need a wikipedia link to the Muppets? Really? Has it really been that long since they took Manhattan? Oh. 22 years? Well, apparently so, then. I feel old, now. I have a lot of gray hair and I'm getting fat and my bones pop when I get up in the morning (well, not anymore, but that's because we just bought a $3000 Tempurpedic mattress) and that I can afford and want to spend $3000 on something that I'm just going to sleep on, and I don't get LiveJournal or MySpace and I don't even really know what Facebook is, but I know my cousin who is in high school uses it a lot and--High school! He's an infant! As far as I can recall, he is a mere six or seven years old. What is he doing in high school?--and now you tell me that you need to link to wikipedia to identify the Muppets!?! If someone has to read the entry to find out what a Muppet is, will they really have a favorite? I'm blaming Anil for this, because he's the only person I know at Six Apart. Thank you. Thank you, Anil, for making me feel like an old man on this, my wife's birthday. Thanks. Really cool.

Oh, and it's Gonzo.
