happy birthday muppets
- The Muppets are 50 years old now. Celebrate with a commemorative stamp of Miss Piggy, Kermit, Fozzie Bear or my personal favorite, The Swedish Chef. Jim Henson's creations first debuted in the Washington, DC region, and he went to school where I work, which honors him with a commemorative statue and garden.
- This morning I found a number of drunk e-mails in my mailbox from various people. One of them is from my brother. I cannot translate it thoroughly enough to know whether he is in jail, trying to sell his jade plant, got kicked out of his girlfriend's house, wants to go out for a beer, or all of the above. The message is that cryptic.
- The Halloween spectacular planned at the local nightclub Nation on October 29 is aptly named "Skin and Bones." Bring some candy to feed the starving Tina twinks - if they even have molars with which to chew. X-Factor, my favorite dance group ever, will be performing, with decorations by RKM, so it may be worth a gander.

Did you know you can set your language preference to "bork bork bork" on google (aka Swedish Chef). http://www.google.com/webhp?hl=xx-bork

You forgot to mention a stamp with Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker! I'm so happy Beaker is getting recognition!
