I thought I should breach the serious issue of friends taking friends for granted.
Of course you've heard of the muppets! Everyone has. As you grew, you watched the bizarre romancing of Miss Piggy, enjoyed the destructive comedy of Animal and puzzled for days on what type of creature Gonzo might be. But who sticks out most in your mind? That's easy. KERMIT! That sensitive, sensible, good-hearted frog, strumming his guitar and singing about rainbows. Everyone loves Kermit the most. He's a great guy: everyone's favorite character.
But what about the guy behind the frog? Who remembers him? After a few minutes of scratching your head you might think "Oh yeah, the brown furry bear, the funny one." The funny one. That's all they remember. I was a good guy too! I was a great friend to Kermit when he had problems. But of course, none of any "perfect" Kermit's problems ever made it to the set. Kermit's the chivalrous one. The hero. The happy-ending muppet. And there he is "Oh, woe is me! Its Not Easy Being Green." Well, I'll tell you, Kermit, its not easy being Fozzy either. Not many can get way with wearing a pink polka-dotted bow tie and a press hat, cracking jokes all the way: bringing some life to your tedious melodrama. Now I'm not complaining or anything. Kermit can have his glory. I just want a little recognition. Kermit's not the only one up there on the screen, ya know. Just a little recognition. Is that so much to ask?

I think this post was going to be about Then Fonz... I'm a bit disappointed.
Clearly there's no "n," Matt. And Fozzie Bear is much cooler than the Fonz. Poor Fozzie...for the record, I think he's awesome. Where would the muppets be without him? Also, the coolest muppet is not Kermit, it's Gonzo.
This comes down to you not knowing what cool is, Kat. I feel for you.
