Kermit’s escape-by-hanging

Kermit escapes a sandstone castle

The nov­elty of Count von Count’s inces­sant count­ing finally wear­ing thin, Ker­mit opts out of yet another Sesame Street maths class tak­ing full advan­tage of a cord and nearby open window.

Count von Count

The Count looks upwards at Kermit’s corpse later on and laughs: “One dead Ker­mit! Ah Ah Ah!” before pro­ceed­ing to see if he can make his leg twitch (hey, they even do exper­i­ments on dead frogs in high school, okay? Noth­ing wrong with pok­ing a dead frog.) The snow is a minor con­ti­nu­ity flaw out­side of my con­trol; I believe such things have been attrib­uted to von Count’s grand­fa­ther in the past (see fol­low­ing Wikipedia quote:)

The Count’s for­mer girl­friend, Count­ess von Back­wards, was known for count­ing back­wards. More recently he has been seen with a new girl­friend, Count­ess Dahling Von Dahling. His brother and mother have made appear­ances on the show. His grand­par­ents also made an appear­ance. When Grandma Count laughs, it rains. When Grandpa Count laughs, it snows.

Fine, you come up with a bet­ter caption/explanation for the first image above!

p.s. Mup­pets are prob­a­bly the most bril­liant animated/puppet char­ac­ters ever to grace screens across the world. Just to get that out there in case any­one would deny it.

    A strange cho­rus of “jump! jump! jump! jump!” comes from both within and with­out of the win­dow and as Ker­mitt pre­pares to jump away from Miss Piggy he catches on the win­dow frame…
    So as Ker­mitt croaks his last the sheer envy for those left liv­ing sends him a strangely bright shade of green…
    But of course this pales against the grey (well yel­low…) sand­stone in the win­ter morn­ing sun.

    The pup­pets them­selves are okay, I sup­pose, but not the show’s agenda (I’m not refer­ring to the teach­ing ele­ment). Playschool is the same.

    Hmmm, I would have to say that the Amer­i­cans should learn to say z (zead) instead of zeeeeeeee… but hey!

    = why I wasn’t allowed to watch Sesame Street. From the looks of things, I didn’t miss out on any­thing. :p

    Ok now I am almost as lame as the peo­ple who post the arti­cles on wikipedia because i read them, but the one on Count von Count is kinda cool!

    There is a Unix util­ity called count­mail, writ­ten by NetBSD founder Charles M. Han­num, whose pur­pose is to count the user’s new e-Mail mes­sages. But instead of sim­ply dis­play­ing the num­ber it will out­put e.g. FOURTEEN! FOURTEEN MAIL MESSAGES! HAHAHAHAHA!

    Josh you SOOOOOOOO need to put that on your com­puter! PLEASE!
