Random Playlist Song: Muppets - Swedish Curse

*Chicken squawks and drops*

Kermit: What was the dire prediction?

Scooter (?): The old gypsy woman said that in the final stages of the curse, everyone would turn SWEDISH!

*Gasps of shock*

Kermit: I don't believe it.

Gonzo to his chickens: Girls, did you hear that? In the final stages of the curse, we'll all be forndes splerndis kyuree.

*Sounds of shock*

Kermit: Gonzo!

Scooter: Oh, it's happening already! Gonzo just turned Swedish! Soon everyone will fyurse g'murse hersee myurnee hernee...

Kermit: Oh, Scooter!

Fozzie: Oh, Scooter. Kermit, listen to Scooter he her hernee hernee hernee...

*Sounds of people speaking in Swedish*

Kermit: Hey listen to me everybody, err. Hey, there's nothing terrible with turning Swedish. I mean, some of my best friends are nyur gong ger smear dee meesher...

*Sounds of people speaking in Swedish, and an instrument playing and people singing along*...


Most of the comments on the Muppet Show on Jump The Shark angrily retort that it never did.

"After the Movie, the only Muppet that mattered was Miss Piggy, a publicity hog who like all overhyped mediocrities overshadowed real talent. I ain't talking about Fozzie or Kermit, charming as they were. I mean Camilla the Chicken, Gonzo's long-suffering girlfriend. Watch her swoon with silent delight as Gonzo tries to win back her chicken heart: "you're sweeter than wine or vanilla, Camilla!" Watch her sudden, and entirely believable, transition from chipper assistant to terrified victim during a Swedish Chef vignette when that Scandinavian psycho threatened to fricassee her, and you will learn about acting. I still get teary-eyed when I remember the scene from the Movie where Gonzo tries to flirt with Miss Piggy, and Camilla puts her little chicken head on his shoulder, resigned to his wandering eye, loving him in spite and perhaps a little because of his flaws. Meryl Streep has never managed such depth and complexity on screen."

Uhh.

"I know this is a question everyone has on their minds, hope you'd provide a good answer!

If you had a choice, would you enter the political arena in S'pore? And which party would you choose to pledge allegiance to, the PAP, or numerous Opposition parties?"


Whoever sent this in (without a return address too) must be mad.

"I like the part about NUS. Yeah Top 20, so what? I'm not ashamed to say I got a pass for my Physics major from that esteemed institution because I memorised like hell. Till today I don't know what is going on in Thermodynamics."
