Hool with de boomer

Last night, the Big O and I watched the episode of the Muppet Show with Sandy Duncan. He dearly loved watching the Swedish Chef through muffins in the air and shoot them with a circa 1650 pistol. He also loved watching a crocodile eat frogs. We watched eat sketch dozens of times. So you see what direction he is heading.

Following the Swedish Chef, Waldorf used one of this week's vocabulary words, so I brought the dvd to class today in order to show my juniors segue in action.

(Incidentally, if you have the dvds, watch the Swedish Chef with the subtitles on. Unless you don't want to learn what he's been saying all these years, of course.)

We'll see if it helps them with that word on the test, but what they were really interested in was the Famous Banana Sketch that Fozzie segued into. So we skipped through the dvd and watched on the references to the Famous Banana Sketch (including perhaps the best scene Sandy Duncan has ever performed).

Oh, the Famous Banana Sketch!

And with a yellow banana nonetheless!

Anyway, it may not interest you as much as it interested me, but they started filming that episode the day before I was born and ended the day after I was born. So we have this connection.
