The Story Behind The Muppet, a.k.a. Blobby McGee
Kind reader Erik sent me this and it's so fantastic I have to post about it immediately. Alas, the Flickr user doesn't allow people to blog his photos, so you'll have to click through to see for yourself. Trust me, you won't regret it.
2007 Kentucky State Fair Blue Ribbon-Winning Muppet Cake
One thing I guess I never explained here is how Brad and I came upon The Muppet as a descriptor for our progeny. It's one of those things that doesn't come through in blog form very well, but sometimes when I'm acting goofy, I apparently sound like a Muppet. You'll have to take Brad's word for it, I guess. So I guess that means I'm gestating a little Muppet-to-be. Many people in our lives have grown attached to the nickname The Muppet, although to tell you the truth, Brad and I more often refer to the fetus as Blobby (as that's about all it looked like at our 8-week ultrasound).
So there you go.

"Good enough for me and my Blobby McGee."
That cake is pretty amazing. Whoever did that better be a full-time artist. Glad you liked it.

Now we need to know exactly which Muppet you sound like - Kermit? Miss Piggy? Beaker? Animal?

I second Simon's question (and secretly hope the answer is the Swedish Chef).

He's never accused me of sounding like any one particular Muppet. I think I probably sound most like Animal, but I will confer with Brad and get back to you.
I truly wish I could do in impression of the Swedish Chef.

Mike and I have been watching the Muppet show on DVD lately... we both forgot how funny it was!
I could see you totally sounding like the Swedish Chef.
