    Don’t besmirch the name of the greatest muppet to ever exist by associating him with the dumbest muppet, Elongated Muskrat.

      Yeah, I’d really like for “Elmo” to stop being used to describe Musky. Elmo is a national treasure.

        My favorite Sweetums moment is in Muppet Treasure Island (the most perfect movie ever made) where Kermit thinks Sweetums is going to hit him and Mr. Erroll with a tree trunk, and Sweetums swings and takes out his fellow pirates instead. Kermit says, “Thank you, but uhhh… aren’t you supposed to be fighting against us?” And Sweetums says, “Are you kidding?? I LOVE you guys! WAH HA HA!”

        Sweetums is my favorite. Also Gonzo. And Rizzo. And the Swedish chef. And Pepe. And Animal. I think maybe I just really love The Muppets.
