Shari Lewis back from the dead

This just in: The Ether is smeared across the Wool!



As seen here

the N. Carolina robber was so devestated by the absense of Lamb Chops since the demise of Shari Lewis that he could not bare the pain bellowing deep within his underbelly, so he robbed a bank with socks on his hands commemorating the good-spirited lamb, formally known as an ewe.

What this further reminds me is the names of sidekicks in children's programming and how uncreative the people producing the characters are

Example: Lamb Chops Play-A-Long: Charlie Horse and Hush Puppy

You might as well be saying violin strings, glue, and shoes.

Muppets: Miss Piggy, Kermit the frog, Fozzie Bear, and Rowlf this is so far-fetched they had to conceal the direct name-to-species correlation by evening things out with , Gonzo (could this be in reference to Hunter S. Thompson?), Animal (gee this is a hard connection) and Scooter.

Then are more humorous names that seem to be linked to historical icons (in no way relative to actual historical figures)

Srgt. Floyd Pepper, Guy Smiley, and Dr. Teeth whom i believe is an homage to Dr. Hook (get your eye patches ready kids)

And lest we forget....the singing donut aka DONUT MAN who apparently has no qualms about revealing to kids that he really is a real person and not just a hand up a puppets ass.

These are all just examples of life imitating art, of course pigs are in love with frogs, Sheep can sing, and donuts can teach you lessons about God. Long live the king!

ANd just in case you are jonesin for some muppet love yourself you can pick up these:

And because i just heart Bruce Campbell, and if youre on a action figure buying spree get this:
