Favorite Underrepresented Muppet?

[kniedzw]

I'm sort of in an odd mood, so here's an odd sort of question.

Everyone thinks of a particular muppet when they think of Jim Henson. Generally, it's someone like Kermit, Miss Piggy, Oscar the Grouch, or Bert (or Ernie). ...but most of us who grew up with them have a particular oddball favorite. Perhaps it's the Honkers from Sesame Street.

It's like roll call.

* Mokey Fraggle, who gets no play.
* The Amazing Mumford
* The Count is appreciated, but only as a cult figure. He's had an amazing impact on other things, though.
* Floyd Pepper, from the Mayhem.
* More Statler and Waldorf love.

Mumford! How could I forget about him?

"A la peanut butter and jelly sandwiches!"

I used to work with a guy named Mumford, who of course we all called The Amazing Mumford.

One day he accidently clocked me in the head with a rifle barrel.

And I'm pretty sure his magic spell was just "A la peanut butter sandwiches!" I don't think he used jelly.

You're probably right. I think I always got that messed up, mostly because I hated plain peanut butter sandwiches as a kid. I mean, who really wanted them without the jelly, right?

I sure did! I think it was just because my parents always used jelly that I didn't like, though-or too much of it, so that it soaked the bread. Now that I'm, you know, on my own, I've started having jelly again.
