moi

When I was a kid I watched a lot of the Muppet Show with my mom. Mom loved Miss Piggy, and she would mimic her sometimes when she was being funny. She was world famous for bonking hte car into things, a fact which drove my dad fairly nuts.

I came home one day from school to find the mailbox sporting a rather large dent. I asked mom if she had done it.

Moi?” she asked, in mock surprise.

My sister liked saying “Moi?” also, but she didn’t know how, so she’d say “Mya?” instead. Naturally, as any big brother would, I teased her mercilessly about “Mya?”.

And so, twenty years later, I stepped off stage after a five hour gig and many, many drinks. My fingers hurt, I was sweaty and tired.

Becky was there to drive me home, thank jesus, because God knows I was too sauced to do it myself.

“Very drunk, Beck.” I told her.

“As expected” she said.

Moi?

    Oui! Vous! El drunken bandguy, lol :-D Is it just me or is everyone who once worked in the IT industry now either a drunk, heading for the entertainment industry, or drunk? I'd be two out of the three. :-D

    Ya know….. I always tried like Miss Piggy the most. I felt that I was supposed to. Turns out, Gonzo was my favorite cause I love me some chicken. True story: I have the “Best of Muppet Show” DVD collection, and there's one episode where they act like Muppet Show is going to get closed down, and Gonzo says, “Well, I guess I can open a chicken ranch.” There are SO many funnies we missed as kids.

    I watched it too. My favorite was always Animal because he played the drums and he was a wild one. Haha…my first grade picture was me in Rick Springfield t-shirt and my Animal belt. I wish I still had both of those things.
