Muppets

All Aboard the Meme Express – Wednesday, September 24, 2008

Jim Henson (1936 - 1990), American puppeteer (The Muppets and Sesame Street), was born on September 24, 1936. Here are a few notable quotes from Jim Henson:

“When I was a kid, I never saw a puppet show.

I never played with puppets or had any interest in them.”

“The most sophisticated people I know –

inside they are all children.”

“Life's like a movie, write your own ending.

Keep believing, keep pretending.”

Today, the Meme Express honors the creative Muppeteer with this prompt: Muppets (or puppets).

Do you like puppets?

Did you grow up watching Sesame Street or The Muppet Show?

Use the image and quotes . . . or not. The choice is yours.

Then come back here, and post a comment with a link to your own entry.
