What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

Me to my kids the minute the halftime show started: "Ok, he's in a sugar cane field, that was the major crop of the Caribbean, and required slave labor. It also is why they make so much rum." Major newspapers: "so he's in a field of grass for some reason?"
