Woo hoo, loads of fun for the whole family! Just stopping by to say hello new BFF! I've been too tired/busy to blog or comment much lately. Tragic, really.
I read somewhere that the famous "Ma-nah-ma-nah" Muppets song was actually lifted from a Swedish porn movie from the 60s. I think Henson productions may be some kind of front. In any case, Henson was always very subversive in his approach to children's entertainment -- this can't be just a ill-advised toy concept; my gut says it was developed with a specific end in mind.

Hey now. Do you suppose people would think it was odd if I got one of these for my kids (ages 15, 11 and 8?)
The house could fall down around me and I'd just say "Honey, can you take care of that? I'm sitting on Elmo's face right now."
Henson might have been subversive, but Disney, who now own the Muppets is not, at least not in that sense.
It could be a false memory, but I think I heard the manamana song pre-Muppets, and it wasn't on Swedish porn. I think it might have been Ernie Kovacs.
dCup - you should go for it. I love the thought of The Honey being jealous of Elmo.
Now, Katie, while I appreciate the use you allude to, plenty of kids, including myself, were fans of Magic Fingers when staying at motels in the 50s and 60s.

Kinda like when mechanical horses in front of grocery stores became a different kind of fun....
I'm not sure what's more disturbing, the thrusting jacked sack. Or, his dirty orange palms color coordinated to match his freakpubes leading to the creepiest weepeen I've ever seen. And, I'm not even a size queen. Help me. I can't stop staring at it. Happy Halloweeeneeeee

Menses just commenced. It's 1:14 AM. I was asleep. That felt good. At 12:24, I popped up. I think I'm awake, maybe awakeish is more accurate. I'm always surprised when those handy-soapy-foamy-bottles run out of soap. For some lame ass reason, it never occurs to me that they ever will. They feel so lifetime supply , even though the bottles aren't more than 8 inches tall. Similarly, when I flip on a light switch and the light flickers to its death, I think "Now what?" Duh, schmuckette, you change the fucking light bulb . Intellectually, I know this, yet for some odd reason, it never comes to mind. In fact, a few years ago, my mother walked into my house and said, "Why aren't the lights working?" I said "I don't know, I flick the switch and they don't work." After a fit of uproarious laughter, she said, "Would it kill you to change the light bulb?” Hmmm. "No", I shamefully responded. I wonder why... it is that I hav...
