It's not easy being green.

About Me

Well, except for the googly eyes, spindly arms and legs and relative shortness of stature, I kind of like the way I look. And as for other traits: I’m happy with everything except my tendency to ribbet when I sleep. And as for kicking someone out of my bed: the only one I’ve ever done that to is me. It’s a frog reflex. Every time I ribbet in my sleep, I kick myself halfway across the room. I soak in pond scum. It’s not only relaxing, but afterwards you really smell spoiled. I'm also doing stunt work for Gumby. And I guess in terms of lifestyle trends, I’ve been eating a lot of Feng Shui. It doesn’t taste great, but it has a lot of fibre.In general, I’m against piracy. Although I do think the parrot and eye patch are kind of cool looking.

My Interests

I love to go to a museum or gallery and pick one picture and just sit there and stare at it. It can be abstract or realistic, impressionistic or postmodern-dada-doppelganger-cubist. It doesn’t matter. If you devote your attention totally to one painting, you see the world differently. You sort of become one with the painting, which can be messy. So don’t stand too close.

I'd like to meet:

I would love to have dinner with Michelangelo, preferably while he was living. And, of course we’d serve Italian food and eat off the ceiling.

Music:

In music, I’m a big follower of Phrog, which is like a green version of Phish. In movies, I haven’t seen a lot of recent releases. Last summer, I went to see S.W.A.T. but was disappointed it wasn’t about mosquitoes. And I’m sure you’ve read about my failed audition for the title role in Hulk. I worked out and bulked up, but I guess being green wasn’t enough to get me the part.

Movies:

We’ve got a couple of movies in the works, but they’re still in development, which means I can’t talk about them. That’s one of those Hollywood rules that I’ve never understood, but if you break the rule, they make you wear a tuxedo and attend endless award ceremonies. I don’t want to take a chance with that. I live in Hollywood because that’s where they make a lot of movies and TV shows. And I live in the swamp because that’s where they don’t make movies and TV shows.

Television:

Reno 911, The Daily Show, Colin Quinn, Southpark, Elimidate, 5th Wheel, ESPN,

Books:

Behold a Pale Horse, Invisible Man, Black Boy, comic books,

My Blog

yeah...so basically....I'm a pirate

Who is your favorite muppet?
