2007 Muppet Presidential Election begins

[Fozzie Bear]

By Dwayne1115

Well i have been watching alot of news as of late and i think a neat kind of game would be "The Next Muppet President Campain 2008" with all the plotices going on i think it would be neat to see some muppet mud slinging in all clean fun. i want to see what people think before i start this though.

And I suggested this as an addendum:

We need 3 main players to do role playing basically for the three unnamed Muppet Politicians. Basically, the 3 main players will be picked from those who PM why they themselves would be a good politician. I'll have my buddy Lin choose the 3 players and 3 characters.

Those 3 players will be assigned certain Muppet characters, who will later be listed in the polls to be voted for by MC members. In the meantime, Dwayne1115 will be the Game Host, asking the "Muppets" questions (non-serious, obviously nothing controversial) as if in a debate. All the "Muppets" will be given a chance to answer the question before the next question is asked, thus trying to convince why they (ie, the Muppet Character) would be the best President!

And, at Kimp's suggestion here's the game thread.

I will accept several PMs to be submitted for Lin's approval and will edit this when I am no longer accepting those PMs.

This lends itself open to a good, long game of fun and mirth. I will close the game, however, if it gets out of hand and serious or not within Muppet Central's family-fun atmosphere.

To discuss this game along the way, use this thread:
http://forum.muppetcentral.com/showthread.php?t=22606

To understand the rules of role-play as characters, see this post:

[Fozzie Bear]

The election committee has convened and the ballots for Muppety President are as follows. An important note ends this post for two of the characters that have been chosen need an exception to role-playing rules. Keep in mind that the campaign is for Muppet President, the MC member is the running mate, and all posts must be made in the character which he/she is to represent.

Here's what we'll do (more rules):
1) Each Muppet candidate will post one post to follow this announcement which will be his/her campaign announcement speech.
2) At the end of each person's speech the ballot will be cast for voting to begin.
3) At the end of a certain period of time, the one with the least amount of votes will have to concede to the other campaigning Muppets; however, he/she may still participate in the game by rallying for the Muppet he/she will be voting for.
4) The game will end when the last Muppet stands.

DISCLAIMER:-Game rules can be altered at any time. Keep a check on post #'s 1 and 2 of this thread.
-This thread may be locked if a new one has to be opened in the event the polls may not be altered when begun.

On the ticket for Muppet President are:
(Muppet Presidential Candidate/MC Forum Member Running Mate)
Grover Monster/theprawncracker
Miss Piggy/Ruahnna
Beaker/Beakerfan
Dr. Bunsen Honeydew/Luke
Yorick/G-Man
Pepe the Kingprawn/Kimp the Shrimp

SPECIAL NOTE/RULE(S):
For the purposes of this game, rather than "meeps," Beaker will be able to speak and be understood; and, rather than grunts, Yorick will be allowed to speak and be understood (quite like we allow Camilla to speak in words rather than just clucks in other role-playing games in the past).

[MuppetsRule]

I just love an election. It's so, umm, American. :attitude:

[Teheheman]

Wait, why can't we allow Beaker as Bunsen's VP? Or are there no VPs in this game?

Daniel

[Fozzie Bear]

The MC members who are playing the roles are the running mates of the Muppet who will be Prez.

[Teheheman]

Oh ok then, thanks for clearing that up

Daniel

[Beakerfan]

Beaker: Good afternoon! Today I would like to announce that as of April 8, 2007, I am entering my ticket in the Muppet Presidential campaign. If elected President, I promise to be just, truthful, and strong for this nation. I will take care to listen to what the people want, and will keep the muppets of this country in mind when making decisions. I trust that you, as voters, will keep an open mind during the election season, and will listen to all sides of a debate while making your decisions.

Thank you!

[Luke]

Bunsen:- Here at Muppet Labs we are taking this Muppet Presidential Election process very seriously. Prior to announcing myself as a candidate i instructed Beaker to make a detailed study of the American Election process, he studied the 2000 Bush/Gore Election and realized how easy it was for a person with low intelligence who is easily manipulated and says very little to get elected, therefore Beaker has decided to stand for election himself!

Undeterred by this act of treachery, i would like to announce that i, Dr Bunsen Honeydew Of Muppetville will be standing as a candidate. My first act (if elected president) will be to ban all testing on Animal/s, and instead put forward Beaker as a volunteer for anything potentially dangerous. I will pay special attention to the immigration process and any King Prawns trying to enter the country to work for "de monies". The Muppet Show Season 2 will be released on the new Green Ray High Definition Laser Powered Nuclear Explosive format, and all rats will be banned from the White House, which will be painted Kermit green. Instead a team of Penguins will be running my office where special hot tubs will be installed - all penguins will wear speedo's with the presidential seal (who will be an actual seal).

[theprawncracker]

Grover: HELLO EVERYBODIEEEEEEE!! It is I Grover, your favorite cute, cuddly, furry blue monster here, and today I am going to teach you all something very important. Today I am teaching about running for political office! Yeah, yeah, is it not excting? I will be running, not litterally, you see, for the office of President of- ...something or other. Anyway, I am representing everyone from Sesame Street as their pick for President of- ...something or other. So, I hope to have your vote too, and then I can give everybody flying lessons as SU-per Grover! Thank you! Thank you public!

[Beauregard]

*begins pulling together support for Bunsen* *creates picket lines*

[The Count]

*Begins drumming up support for Miss Piggy and Catherine. What? She hasn't yet made her acceptance speech? Details, don't bother me with details.
*Starts mass publishing of her epic fanfics to disseminate amongst the public to get their votes. *Calls up Kermit to warn him he'd better get in line with the pig's campaign or suffer serious bodily harm.

[theprawncracker]

Grover: Well, it is good to know I have supporters.
Elmo: Elmo supports Grover! GOOOOO GROVER!!
Grover: Well, it is good to know I have the vote of the obnoxiously cute three year old voters.

[The Count]

Yeah... Except for the fact they can't vote... *Hands out Piggy pins from the box next to his clipboard. Huh? Oh hi, the name's Scooter. Miss Piggy hired me as her assistant, but she'll make her grand entrance later... As usual.

[theprawncracker]

Grover: *looks at camera* Go-fers are such a mean little animal, are they not?

[Luke]

Bunsen: Here at Muppet Labs our policy on Mud slinging is to get dirty. Therefore we do not wish to draw the voters attention to the fact that Miss Piggy's "Moi" fragrance smells awfully like Calvin Klein, and could well be a cheap knock off. We will also not be be revealing the fact that Miss Piggy is really a man at this stage in the campaign, although we have obtained some very interesting photos involving feather boas.

As for Grover, he represents Elmo, and he has multiple personalities. Nuff said!

[theprawncracker]

Grover: Oh, there is mud-slinging? That is filty. I am not sure my mommy would condone me getting my cute little business suit messy.

[Beakerfan]

Beaker: Oh! Uh, mudslinging? *steps in something* What's this? *throws fistfull of mud at Bunsen*

[The Count]

Scooter: It should be noted that Dr. Honeydew's statements are those of a discredited crackpot scientist and should not be taken at face value. Furthermore, the photographs he alledges to have have been doctored to show the outcome he wishes to prove. Miss Piggy will arrive, at her own fashionable moment and address these allegations after issueing forth her acceptance speech.

[Luke]

Bunsen: Re-purchased from Ebay (account Notashrimp) i have here the mind numbing Rubber Duckie as featured in Muppets From Space. I think it will come in useful later on in the campaign.

In other news, i would like to make some more policy announcements. If elected, i will have the Muppet congress grant Sababa Toys a special license to make a Mokey Plush which will be specially discounted for all Muppet Central members (who vote for me). I am also considering sending Elmo into space (one way ticket) as he's annoying, though i'm not sure yet how popular this decision would be so will be holding discussions on this matter and may possibly send Andy & Randy pig instead.

[Beauregard]

"Hello again and welcome to the wiiiiild world of Muppet Sports. Here at Muppet Central, potential presidential candidates are gathering with a will. There's mud flying, dirt being shifted through, and...I think I heard something about "Elmo Goes To Space" a new straight-to-dvd release in which Elmo, bless his heart, saves the entire universe by revealing the inner cute to a race of savage monsters...right before the monsters are shot down by airplanes and beauty kills the beast. That's all for today from the wild world of Muppet Sport."

[redBoobergurl]

*passes out buttons reading "Spread the love, vote for Furry, blue, loveable Grover*

There you go Grover, I throw my support to you!

[Beauregard]

Newsman: This is a Muppet News Flash. Beth is throwing support to Grover. *is hit by a support beam*

[The Count]

*Nosy sports reporter gets unceremoniously dumped out by human baggage handlers.

Furthermore, police officers have confiscated said mind-numbing rubber duckie from Dr. Honeydew's campaign headquarters, as it would pose an illegal advantage to bilk the voters out of their free choice to elect whichever Muppet they see fit for the position of president.

[The Count]

*Handlers throw out the Newsman as well, unconscious as he may presently be.

[Teheheman]

Hmmmmm.........Who to throw my campaign contrabutions to? I guess it is to who can answer my question without mudslinging. If elected, what would you do if you were elected? I mean, I wanna know what you would do that would help everybody. I came to hear about the issues, not the character of the other candidates.

Daniel

[Luke]

If elected, what would you do if you were elected? I mean, I wanna know what you would do that would help everybody.

Bunsen: Well Daniel, here at Muppet Labs we would solve the issues below by the following means -

CGI Movies - We would ban the production of any more of these until a Muppet Babies version was produced.
World Hunger - We would move the fridge away from Miss Piggy
Music Piracy - We would take away the pirates parrots and make them walk the plank.
Reality TV Shows - We would merge them all together, 15 wannabee singers, all stuck in a house located on a remote island, have to answer questions to win a million dollars. The only thing they can do to find clues to the answers are to a) ask someone on a passing ship, b) get hired by Donald Trump and borrow his internet connection or c) take up dancing with a celebrity.

[dabauckham]

Mudraker 1: Yes folks, the heat is on in Muppet Central! Will Bunsen's snide remark about Miss Piggy's eating habits provoke a whopping hiii-ya? Will Grover's unbearably cute "love everyone" stance win the hearts of 3-year olds across the nation? And what of the reclusive Beaker? How many shady secrets has he kept behind his seemingly harmless demeanor? Only time will tell.

[theprawncracker]

Grover: Oh, look there! It is Beth, supporting me, aww, how nice of her. *puts Grover button on* Aw, cute.

[redBoobergurl]

Cookie Monster: Hello! Cookie Monster here. Me campaign manager for Grover, he a real good guy. If you elect him, he will give lots of cookies. Or, nevermind, he is the best guy for the job! He will do good because he's like the common man, unlike Bunsen the scientist who make everything too technical. Yep, Grover is just like all of you.

[anytimepally]

The Amazing Mumford: Step right up! Step right up! For my next fantastic trick! I know many of you voters out there are tired of all the mud-slinging that's taking place in this otherwise fantastic political campaign. So now, observe as I, the Amazing Mumford wave my magic wand, say the magic word, and make all the mud-slingling disappear! ... (waves magic wand) A-la Peanut Butter Sandwiches! .. (Mumford vanishes) ......

Ladies and Gentlemen, something appears to have gone wrong with this trick.. but that's all the time I have for now.. Thank you! Thank you!

[Erine81981]

Herry: Hello there! I am Herry Monster. I am also a campaign manager for Grover. He is one of the best and cutest monsters you will ever see here other then any of the these other guys. Bunsan? Beaker? Who are they to say that there cute? There not! Grover is one cute, adorable and sweet little monster. Me and Cookie Monster will be here to help you want to vote for this blue monster. Thank you.

[theprawncracker]

Grover: *sniffle* Oh, thank you Cookie Monster, thank you Herry. It means so much that my fuzzy and blue friends are campaigning for me too. You guys are the best. Oh, and free Super Grover services to all who vote for me.

[Luke]

Grover:Oh, and free Super Grover services to all who vote for me.

Shock horror, is that cute loveable Grover trying to bribe the voters? :eek: :o

[redBoobergurl]

Cookie: No, no, Grover real stand up guy. He not bribe at all, he just offer good service, that all.

[The Count]

Aren't you trying the same tact Dr. Honeydew, with your promises of sending Elmo hurtling into space to rid us of his annoying cuteness?
This shameless plugging needs to stop. *Aside: And Miss Piggy really needs to make her acceptance speech or run the risk of being eliminated from the get-go. My goferly fears are that she won't show up until Friday eve. *Sets to zipping around with his cell phone to get Marty, Piggy's agent to get her to the Muppety Presidential Elections tut suite.

[anytimepally]

The Amazing Mumford: Hello there, hello there.. all my wonderful friends.. As you know, it is I, the Amazing Mumford. Some of you may be aware of my effort to rid this election of mud-slinging and return it to an intelligent debate about the issues affecting muppets and their fans everywhere.. My last fantastic trick didn't go so well, but fear not! I have prepared a new trick, which will wash away the mud that is being slung and maybe even slow the flow of the aforementioned "shameless plugging." Watch closely as I, the Amazing Mumford wave my magic wand, say the magic word, and wash away the mud! ... (waves magic wand) A-la Peanut Butter Sandwiches! .. (soap flies everywhere, filling the stage and carrying Mumford away on a wave) ......

(as he floats away)
Ladies and Gentlemen, that trick appears to be all washed up.. Once I will dry off, I'll return with a new fantastic trick. (to himself) Hopefully one that actually works. (to all) Thank you! Thank you!

[Luke]

This shameless plugging needs to stop.

I'm sure we'll wait for the Pig to show, although she'd be better trying for "Best In Show", hehe. :mad:

Bunsen: If elected, i will have all the people of Muppet Central get together at Bunsenfest to break the world record for the most people in the same room chewing popping candy simultaneously. I will also bring Duck Tales back to network TV, and encourage more people to bathe with Rubber Duckies.

[Beakerfan]

Beaker: Uh, hi? Um, if elected, I will stop product testings on animals, and only allow it to be done on uh, fish or uh, people with melon-shaped heads.

[Fozzie Bear]

There are 10 days for the first round of voting. Begin!

[Ilikemuppets]

Not suer if I can add comments like this but I thought that that Ryan would have been more popular then that. Even though I voted for the other guy.;)

[redBoobergurl]

Cookie Monster: Who is this Ryan you speak of. Me see no Ryan running for President. Me see great furry blue monster Grover. He have running mate named Ryan though. Me guess that could be confusing. Me going to be quiet now.

[The Count]

Scooter: So uh Fozzie... Where/how do we send in our votes?

[dabauckham]

Mudraker #2:

Well, it appears that so far, the 3 year-olds of the nation HAVE been swayed by Grover's gentle demeanor and the power of the BLUE MONSTERS. But is this a cult? Is there some strange ritual behind this, a bit of extortionist bribery perhaps?

And what of the reclusive Miss Piggy, Yorick, and Pepe, who have yet to make a campaign appearance? Do they in fact exist, or has something...unfortunate happened? Only time will tell....

[Luke]

Bunsen: Perhaps my clever use of the Rubbie Duckie invisibility spray before the police confiscated it made the other candidates disappear, at least for now. However here at Muppet Labs we have been trying to work out why an annoyingly cute loveable monster has leaped ahead in the voting, and by using the latest Windows 95 technology have computed a possible theory .... the candidates could have voted for themselves! Is this allowed, or can the candidates vote for other candidates (allowing for some tactical voting off, hee hee). Perhaps Supreme Court Judge Fozzie Bear can consult the rulebook!

In addition to this i would like to make the following statement concerning Jelly Beans ...... YUM!!

Bunsen Honeydew's Statements Today Are Sponsored By Jelly Belly - Proud Supporters Of The Honeydew Campaign 2008

[Teheheman]

Oooooooo.........Jelly Belly's

Daniel

[Katzi428]

taking a button from Beth to support Mr. CAFAB(Cute Adorable Fuzzy And Blue);)

[Fozzie Bear]

Scooter: So uh Fozzie... Where/how do we send in our votes?

Use the polls at the top of the site.

[Fragglemuppet]

*takes button from Beth's booth and smiles in Grover's direction* *taps random person on shoulder* Isn't Grover so cute and loveable? And he's such a great rolemodel for our children!

[Erine81981]

Herry: Glad to see that Grover is not being put down just because he's a moster like us. *slides Cookie next to him* See us monsters have feeling too. We love to be loved and love to be blue too. So please vote for our friend who doesn't want to ever cause a fight. Vote Grover Monster. *leans over to Grover* How i do Grover?

[Ilikemuppets]

Cookie Monster: Who is this Ryan you speak of. Me see no Ryan running for President. Me see great furry blue monster Grover. He have running mate named Ryan though. Me guess that could be confusing. Me going to be quiet now.

Opps...Sorry, I meant Groooover.:o

[theprawncracker]

Grover: Oh, very good Herry. Now maybe you could start writing a speech for me, since I am the one actually running for the office. Oh, and thank you for the votes everybodieeeeeee!

[Erine81981]

Grover: Oh, very good Herry. Now maybe you could start writing a speech for me, since I am the one actually running for the office. Oh, and thank you for the votes everybodieeeeeee!
Herry: Opps sorry Grover.

[Luke]

Bunsen: Oh i am so embarrassed! Oh, um .. thats not my line! So are any of the voting public going to start asking all the candidates questions about any issues then?

[Teheheman]

Ok, if you were president, what would you do differently than your opponents? And please, no slinging of mud or we'll throw you in the bathtub with Ernie and post the pics in the paper to scandalize you.

Daniel

[theprawncracker]

Grover Well, if I, Grover, was a elected to office, I would do many things differently than my very capable opponents here. The first, and possibly biggest thing is that I would be me, and they would be them. Very, very different, as I am the right choice for president, and they are not. *aside* Okay, Cookie, pass out the cookies.

[Luke]

Bunsen: That's a very good question Daniel. Here at Muppet Labs we would take a highly scientific approach to solving any problems that arose. We have the latest satellite imagery to track world hotspots, the most advanced communications devices to communicate with other world leaders, and lastly, a laser powered stun gun, to make sure NOBODY takes over the Muppet Theater again .... like Miss Bitterbuns!

[Beakerfan]

Beaker: You know what? I would like to ask all you Muppets out there a question. Bunsen, feel free to respond. How does Bunsen plan creating all these dandy new machines to help run the country, without ME? If he really plans on doing this, he's going to need someone to test the machines, fetch him things, etc. I on the other hand, have been doing all these things on my own for quite some time now, which just goes to show that I am a more able bodied leader than my former partner.

[Luke]

Beaker: Bunsen, feel free to respond. How does Bunsen plan creating all these dandy new machines to help run the country, without ME?

Bunsen: Precisely the reason why you'd make a great Vice President Beakie - you could be the Gore to my Clinton, the Luigi to my Mario! Although remember when i asked you to step inside that box a few months ago? Cloning machine!!!

On a serious note, if elected as Muppet President, i would be totally committed to bringing back the Fraggles!

[theprawncracker]

Grover: Oh, are not we all committed to bringing back those cute, fuzzy little Fraggles? I know I, Grover am.
Hey, Cookie Monster! Where are those cookies?

[Beakerfan]

Bunsen: Precisely the reason why you'd make a great Vice President Beakie - you could be the Gore to my Clinton, the Luigi to my Mario! Although remember when i asked you to step inside that box a few months ago? Cloning machine!!!

Oh, THAT box? There was something wrong with that one, I think....... what was it........ Oh yeah! When I stepped in there, all it did was play elevator music.

[Teheheman]

lol, Luigi to my Mario, that is a great line. Bunsen, you are definatly the front runner for my vote. THE FIRST EYEBALL-LESS PRESIDENT lol. Then again, I'm not voting til the last day, so who knows?

Daniel

[redBoobergurl]

Cookie *munching on the cookies*: Oh...me supposed to pass out the cookies? Uh, oops...sorry Grover. Here, me pass out, um, pizza! Yeah, that the ticket, free pizza from furry Grover! *starts handing out pizzas*

[Beakerfan]

Beaker: So, uh, can I hear any supporters for me? I know, I know, I'm the Independent candidate in the bunch, but WHERE ARE YOU GUYS? I know SOMEBODY voted for me. Am I gonna have to start singing?

[The Count]

Scooter, somewhat dejectedly: Please... You've gotten enough votes. It's Piggy who's letting me down. And here I was campaigning for her, only to have her not even show up to deliver her acceptance speech. *Looks at poll results... *Sighs, well, better get ready for the big let down. *Trods off back to the theater.

[Teheheman]

Hmmmmmmm.............you make a good point Beaker, I mean, ya gotta root for the Independent candidate. Those people are the underdogs.....you guys are making this hard on a guy.

Daniel

[Erine81981]

Herry: Here goes anything. I know that my best friend Grover is the best for being the president. Why do i say that? Because being his friend i know he loves to help. All the time. Even his the Super Hero side of himself knows that he would be right for the part. I know that with Grover as our president he will do anything that he can do to help out our community. And that is how i know that this monster is the greatest, furriest and most kindest of all monsters. Thank you. Oooo pizza. My favorite! *grabs a box full and runs behind the curtian*

[Beakerfan]

Beaker: Now uh, if I could have your attention for a moment? I uh, would just like to announce that uh, my smoothie machine here can uh, make any kind of smoothie you like, so uh, feel free to have one.

[theprawncracker]

Grover: Oh what nice friends I have! Thank you Herry, and thank you Cookie Monster for passing out the pizzas. I think they liked those better.

[Erine81981]

Herry: Welcome Grover. *puts arm around Grover and Cookie* We make such a great team.

[Luke]

Those people are the underdogs.....you guys are making this hard on a guy.

Luke: You know what makes it harder? I forgot it was Muppet Central when i entered this and should have known people would vote for a cute character. I'm regretting not having gone with Bean Bunny!

Bunsen: Would it help if i wore Bunny ears throughout the campaign?

[anytimepally]

Bunsen: Would it help if i wore Bunny ears throughout the campaign?

it probably would ;)

[theprawncracker]

Grover: Oh, yes, I think some cute little bunny ears would make you much more of a formidable opponent Dr. Honeydew. And a cuter one, too.

[Ruahnna]

Miss Piggy arrives at backstage in grand style, emerging out of her limousine decked to the nines (or in her case, perhaps the elevenses) in a smart little black suit dress with black boa trim on the collar and cuffs. Her hat is wide-brimmed and has black feather boa trim, and her four-inch black shoes have silver lucite heels. Her make-up is understated (for Piggy) and, while breathless, she seems composed. Her running mate, however, is rather frazzled and out of breath, shoving Piggy out onto the stage before taking a huge breath and sinking down weakly into a chair on the stage.
Piggy mounts the podium (which dips down but not actually sag) and adjusts the microphone with a little giggle.
Piggy: Moi is sorry for the incovenience of arriving fashionably late--and I do mean fashionably late--but Moi has been out of town on some VERY IMPORTANT BUSINESS. (Macy's was having a 30% off sale, and those don't happen every week, buster!) But Moi is back now and ready to launch her campaign.
Moi would like to gratefully acknowledge all those little people who have been so useful in getting Moi to this point in Moi's career. The hairdresses who got out of bed at outrageous hours to ensure that the country was safe from bad hair--the designers who selflessly spent hours hand-beading Moi's little black dresses for those top-secret cocktail parties--all those people who did all the boring and uninteresting things that are necessary, whose names I am too busy and important to remember.
(Frantic whispering from Piggy's running mate, Ruahnna. Miss Piggy listens but looks blank. Ru gives up on whispering.)
Ruahnna: Your platform, Piggy. Tell them about your platform!
Bewildered, Piggy shrugs.
Piggy: Um, my personal assist....um running mate has suggested that I describe my platform.)
(There is a smattering of polite applause.)
Piggy: They're um, red and strappy, about three inches tall and they match my red and white polka dot suit just perfectly, especially with the matching earrings. Of course, I must say that, as nice as platforms are, Moi actually prefers high heels for most social--
Ruahnna is waving frantically and without much success.
Piggy: (Giving Ru a look, then mugging sweetly for the crowd) Um, ha ha, just a moment, please.
There is a brief, intense conversation between the runing mates.
Piggy: (to Ru) Issues? You want to talk about issues? I can tell you about issues because I've been dating the same frog for the past--what? I don't...oh. Oh. Ooooh! Campaign issues! I get it--campaign issues.
Ruahnna: Piggy, pleeeease try to stay focused, okay?
Piggy: (remounting the podium) Um, I am going to talk about my campaign platform and the issues that are of genuine importance to all of you little people. Just as soon as I make them--
Ruahnna: (Coughing meaningfully) Piggy!
Piggy: Um, just as soon as I get my notes. Back in a bit! Kissy kissy, mmon cheres!

[Ruahnna]

Ruahnna: (nervously, to crowd) Um, Miss Piggy would like to announce her presidential candidacy and I promise that we will return in just a little while and talk to you seriously about the issues of this campaign.

(OOC: PLEASE forgive my lateness--I've been staying in Hooterville for the past week visiting family and had NO INTERNET HOOKUP!)

[theprawncracker]

Grover: Oh, hello there Miss Piggy! Are you going to wear bunny ears too, to make you cute like furry, old Grover?

[Erine81981]

Herry: I just got an idea. Why not hand out Bunny ears to everyone?

[The Count]

Scooter, passing through the backstage area... *Hears Piggy speaking and Ru apologizing for her tardiness. He takes off his glasses and does a double take, completely disbelieving that she finally arrived.

Scooter: Piiiiiiiiiigggy!! You made it! And hi Cath, sorry you were stuck in um, Hooterville as you said. *Pulls out a pack of index cards from his clipboard. Here you go, all the issues you plan to run on for Muppet president.
*To Grover: She doesn't need them Grover. She has piggy ears, and is already naturally cute.

[Beakerfan]

Beaker: Well I will not conform to the cuteness everyone seems to be aquiring! Btw, nice to finally have you here, Ms. Piggy!

[Ruahnna]

Grover: Oh, hello there Miss Piggy! Are you going to wear bunny ears too, to make you cute like furry, old Grover?

Miss Piggy: Vous are so funny, um, blue furry thing. (to Ru) This is one of Kermit's weird friends from Sesame Street, isn't it? Moi is not planning to wear bunny ears since her own ears are as nice as, um, silk purses--which are very nice indeed, but Moi IS considering another fashion accessory. (Her electric blue eyes harden suddenly and she looks at Grover meaningfully.) Moi has a sudden hankering for a blue, fur stole....

[Ruahnna]

A chicken in every pot and a car in every garage – Herbert Hoover

Take-out in every refrigerator and a very cute little pair of designer shoes in every closet. – Miss Piggy

Piggy: Ahem. Moi is back after having immersed herself in the issues (and some Chanel No. 22) to talk to all you darling little people about the issues that I think are of prime importance to all the candidates.
Statler: Doh ho ho! The pig said prime!
Piggy: Knock it off you old goats! I’m running for office here!
Statler: As long as you’re running!
Piggy: Oh shut up!
Ruahnna (desperately) Piggy, honey please! They’re, um, voting members—at least, I think they are. The issues, honey? Please?
Piggy: Um, yes. The issues. After I am elected, I plan to redecorate the white house to a décor that is more attractive. I think that white is such a dull color, and it does nothing for Moi’s complexion.
Ruahnna sighs with relief and nods.
Piggy: And Moi is commited to, well, her frog, of course—kissy, kissy, Kermit!—and to getting all of Moi’s top-selling movies out to my adoring public.
Ruahnna: Here, here!
Piggy: And Moi is dedicated to removing the blight of unattractiveness that seems to pervade any public. Toward that end, Moi plans to hire a highly trained staff of fashion advisors and hair-stylists to deal with this issue. And as your president, I promise that I will do everything in Moi’s power to always look outstanding for Moi’s public. Remember, when I look good, you look good!

[Luke]

Miss Piggy: Moi has a sudden hankering for a blue, fur stole....

Bunsen: I wholeheartedly endorse this comment!

<hands Miss Piggy a gun>

Of course here at the Bunsen campaign headquarters we completely condone gun crime other than in humane circumstances!

[Erine81981]

Herry: Uh Grover? *glup* She's out to get us. I knew that pigs were bad but not gun crazy. *shakes behind the curtain*

[theprawncracker]

Grover: *gulp* Uh, please, let us be civilized here. Dr. Honeydew, do you not remember who it was who gave you the cute little bunny ears? ...Okay, bad arguement. Um, Miss Piggy! I do not think Froggy baby would much appreciate... that. Or having to explain it to Big Bird.

[The Count]

*Glares at Bunsen... *Puts on a pair of smart little white gloves and takes the gun away, depositing it in the ravenous Automatic Wastebasket.
Scooter: Honestly Dr. Honeydew... OK Piggy, you did really great. You have a photo shoot with Hillary at 5 and an appointment at your salon at 6, and then it's another speaking engagement at the Brown Hatrack to further expound on your campaign platform at 7. Talked to the guys back at the boarding house... Sal will be there to help you drum up support for the coming elections.

[The Count]

... Outside the fine eating establishment known as the Brown Hatrack, run bya woman known for the peppery spice she uses in all her dishes, a furry brown Muppet monkey ambles up to the doors wearing a dark blue tie graced with the smiling face of Kermit The Frog and a Miss Piggy button pin tucked into the front pocket of his vest. He takes up his post outside the restaurant, detaining all Muppety patrons.

Sal Manilla: Hey youz mugs... You'd better vote for Miss Piggy if youz knowswhat's good for ya! So vote for Piggy... She's smart and funny and a pig... She'd be the best president of all cause she wouldn't need any bodyguards, she's a force to be reckoned with! Now get out there and vote for Piggy... Or else!
He shoves the Muppet into the voting booth with the lever already poised to cast the ballot for Miss Piggy for Muppet president.

[Luke]

*Glares at Bunsen... *Puts on a pair of smart little white gloves and takes the gun away, depositing it in the ravenous Automatic Wastebasket

Hey You can't blame me. It was Piggy who wanted to wear Grover as a fashion accessory! I can see i'm gonna have to consult my lawyers, we have a smear campaign goin on here! :eek:

[The Count]

Scooter: Yeah... And you're the one who handed her the smoking gun. If there's any smear campaign it's the one you started against yourself.
*Goes back to checking notes for Piggy's next speech before handing them off to the perfectly gloved pink pig's hand.

[Luke]

Bunsen: Well if you wanna play dirty Gofer, i wonder what the media would say if they found out the connection between your Uncle (who owns the Theater), your speechwriting about less tax on Theaters, and Miss Piggys recent top billing at the Muppet Show????

Perhaps the Pig has been stuffed, with dollar bill bribes!!!!!

**Crowd gasps open mouthed**

[The Count]

Scooter: The only one who's stuffed around here is you Honeydew. Piggy doesn't get top billing, Kermit does and you know that. As for my uncle, he's given charitable donations to corporations throughout the years, including some that are non-profit like that Sesame Workshop and Jim Henson Company. It is your reckless junk science that's clouding the issues and carrying out such hatred towards my endorsed candidate for Muppet president.

*Continues to wage a clean campaign for Miss Piggy, in spite of the baseless accusations from the disreputable science community.

[Luke]

Scooter:
*Continues to wage a clean campaign for Miss Piggy, in spite of the baseless accusations from the disreputable science community.

Bunsen: With a campaign slogan like "Vote for her ..... or else?", and the Jim Henson Company isn't non profit. I'm sure the IRS will be interested to hear what your uncle has been claiming as "charitable donations". :eek:

As for Junk Science, Free Genetically Enhanced Fries for all who vote for me!!

[Erine81981]

Telly: Me and FilFil have are going with Miss Piggy. Isn't that right FilFil?

FilFil: Yep. We love how she gets real bossy. Funny to see a pig get mad.

Telly: Yep. *laughs*

[The Count]

Scooter, reading over the latest poll results: Hey! We're up to second in the polls! This is great news!
Thanks to everybody who's voted for Miss Piggy so far... But please remember, the voting's not done yet. So vote for the pig, the first female president!

[Beakerfan]

*Beaker starts panicking, running back and forth* Beaker: What am I gonna do? What am I gonna do?!? I gotta do something to get my votes up!!!

*Floyd walks in* Floyd: Hey man! Chill out. See, I'm gonna be your new campaign manager. I always liked guys that work with chemicals.

[Erine81981]

Animal: Chem-i-cals! Chem-i-cals! *breaths heavily*

[Luke]

*Beaker starts panicking, running back and forth* Beaker: What am I gonna do? What am I gonna do?!? I gotta do something to get my votes up!!!

Bunsen: Well, we could BBQ the pig?

I'd just like to make some more campaign announcements - 1) The Muppets will be revived - shows to include Pepe's Top Model, Elmo In Space, and Who Wants To Be A Muppeteer? 2) All new Muppet CD's to be released - collaborations with Snoop Dog, Jessica Simpson and ALF!, 3) The Muppet Channel to open - all Muppet, all the time. 4) Muppetworld theme park to open - includes the ride "Flying Penguins Of DooooooooooooM".

There'll also be a new war on terror .... we'll be putting a leash on Animal! :halo:

[Erine81981]

There'll also be a new war on terror .... we'll be putting a leash on Animal!Animal: No leash! No leash! *tries to attack Bunsan but gets held back from the chain leash*

[theprawncracker]

Grover: Oh, all of those things sound wonderful Dr. Honeydew! But I must know, will furry little Grover be included in this new "Muppet World"? Oh, I hope so! I love to have fun!

[The Count]

... Or we can skewer the melonhead instead.

[Beakerfan]

Floyd: Whoa. Don't get all hyped. We are leading a peaceful campaign, and will have a peaceful presidency.

[The Count]

Scooter: That reminds me... *Heads out to round up the Electric Mayhem to get them to perform for Piggy's pep rally on Wednesday afternoon. Maybe some of the guys back at the theater would want to vote for Piggy.

[Luke]

Floyd: Whoa. Don't get all hyped. We are leading a peaceful campaign, and will have a peaceful presidency.

You mean one that doesn't portray real life then? LOL

Bunsen: Here at Muppet Labs we believe being a citizen of MuppetWorld is all about fun. Therefore we will institute the 2pm Happy Hour - every day at 2pm citizens will be encouraged to stop working and play with Nerf guns, Super Soakers, water balloons, whoopee cushions and radio controlled rubber duckies on wheels! :excited:

[The Count]

As Bunsen makes his latest wild assertions of the supposed benefits of his presidency... An excited Whatnot Muppet dowses the scientist with a Super Soaker, before pelting him in his big bald head with a payload of Nerf gunshot tennis balls. Whoopppeeeeee! 2 PM according to my watch!
*Whatnot Muppet runs outside to join the mass of unnamed Muppets in the local township's crowds.

[Erine81981]

Herry: *laughs at Bunsan from getting soaked and nerfed to death* That's a good one.

Animal: Drums! Drum!

Herry: Who are you?

Animal: An-i-mal.

Herry: Animal? Hmmmm weird name. I'm Herry Monster.

Animal: Weird name? *starts chasing Herry around*

Herry: Uh i'll be baaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh......

[The Count]

Uh Kyle, that was a random Whatnot Muppet, not me.

Oh hey Herry... *Yanks on chain halting Animal's path. Come on Animal, gotta get you back to Floyd and Beaker. Scooter wanted you guys to play at Piggy's pep rally tomorrow.

*OOC: Since Beakerfan brought in Floyd and Animal as campaign managers, I think it best to leave her as the one in charge of their interaction/speech here. Just keeping things in order, have fun voting for the 2007 Muppet President!

[Beakerfan]

Beaker: Animal, it's nice to have you on board! I think the Electric Mayhem will be a great gimic for my campaign. Who would'nt want a free concert at every pep rally, speech, and all otherwise boring political happenings? In other news, I am preparing a new television special, involving underdogs and their rise to power. (Not to mention their former bosses' decline and oppression.)

*OOC: I think Kyle was the one who brought in Animal, Ed. But thanks for keeping order around here!

[redBoobergurl]

Cookie: Pep rally? Uh oh. Herry? We got work to do. Me better stop eating cookies and figure something out.

[Luke]

<<Bunsen is happy to be nerfed, drops water balloon on Scooter and notices that he, Miss Piggy's campaign manager has acknoledged the Muppets are EXCITED by his latest policy.>>

Bunsen: I would like to thank everyone who has voted for me so far placing me second in this Presidential campaign. To all the little people, i will work effortlessly to invent a contraption of some kind to make you taller! I urge all of you to vote for me, and make a stand against annoying cuteness (unless its Bean Bunny or Janice, cos they are really cute) and agressive statements from campaign managers for candidates who's presence in this campaign has been hardly felt, except at lunchtime!

*** KEEP VOTING FOR THE BUNZ!!! ***

[The Count]

*Television turns on and a new commercial airs...

Bunsen Honeydew has discharged his former assistant Beaker, leading to the two former scientists now running for the position of 2007 Muppet President. But without a qualified assistant, can we rully trust Dr. Honeydew's furthered scientific achievements? Take for instance the gorilla detector that failed to function when a wild mountain gorilla assaulted the Muppet Labs. Or an automatic wastebasket so ravenous it consumes the people throwing waste into its open maws.

No, vote for the one logical Muppet instead. Vote for Miss Piggy. This Muppet nation deserves to have someone who will return the luster and glamour to such a highly prestigeful position. She will make history as the first female wielding such a distinction as Muppet President. Don't be intimidated into voting for some of the other candidates because you're afraid of a woman with power. She will make sure that an able-bodied staff of Muppet executives envelop the Muppet nation in a loving and caring hug, washing all your troubles away.
*The camera pans back, showing Scooter and Janice and Sweetums in a show of unison.
Vote for Miss Piggy!
*Sal Manilla pops into the frame at the last minute: Yeah! She's da' boss!

This commercial paid for by the Organization of Important Nominated Kissy-Kissiers.

[Luke]

LOL, Beaker was never qualified, so your remarks are unqualified!

[The Count]

If Beaker was never qualified, then why did you feel the need to hire him in the first place? Your rebuttal is unqualified and hereby disqualified.

[Luke]

I never hired him, Jim Henson did. So that qualifies my rebuttal that was before unqualified and is not ummmmmm now. And as an aside, i think he did a pretty good job being blown up, electrocuted, fired into walls and all.

*ooc* Did Piggy ever Karate chop him? We may have a case of violent conduct towards a scientific official if she did. I'll have to go check my TMS tapes in search of any possible Pig orientated scandals.

[dwayne1115]

(Bean Bunny walks in the room)

Hi I'm the Good Doctor Bunsan's campain manager, and im also so cute it hurts so Mr. Grover i hope you ready to have a Cute little campinge going here. cause everyone knows I,m the cutest out of them all.

[The Count]

All pig oriented (hee, I've come to associate the misuse of that word with your posts Luke) violence has been deleted and erased... Especially since there were none conducted during the time that Miss Piggy was a co-star with either Dr. Honeydew or Beaker on TMS.
Oh Bean Bunny... He's not rully all that cute, we just hired him to be cute so the rest of us didn't have to bother.

*Goes on to talk to Dr. Teeth on the phone for tomorrow's pep rally appearance.

[theprawncracker]

Grover: Well! The race is really heating up, is it not, Cookie? You know what I think we need? Grover thinks we need a comercial! Yeah! A comercial advertising cute, adorable, me! Ha ha ha! Okay, Herry, you go get the video camera, alright? Oh this is so exciting!

[Erine81981]

Uh Kyle, that was a random Whatnot Muppet, not me.

Oh hey Herry... *Yanks on chain halting Animal's path. Come on Animal, gotta get you back to Floyd and Beaker. Scooter wanted you guys to play at Piggy's pep rally tomorrow.
Herry: Thanks Ed.

Okay, Herry, you go get the video camera, alright? Oh this is so exciting!

Herry: Alright Grover. I have all the stuff up for your commerical. Cookie we need the props. Hurry!

[Ruahnna]

Miss Piggy: I would like to make a dignified rebuttal to Doctor Bunz regarding Moi's alleged violence to any fellow muppets. I can unequivocally say that I have never physically harmed one of my peers.
Kermit: (murmuring to Piggy) Um, Piggy--We're trying to run an honest campaign. I don't think you can say that.
Miss Piggy: Say what?
Kermit: That you've never physically harmed another muppet.
Miss Piggy: Moi did not say that.
Kermit: (crossing his skinny arms) But, I just heard you say--
Miss Piggy: (eyes wide, eyelashes fluttering) Yessss?
Kermit: --that you had never harmed one of your...oh. I get it.
Miss Piggy: (very sweetly) What is it you get, Mon Capitan? Besides all Moi's undying love and affection?
Kermit: (blushing) Sheesh. (whispering: That's, um, very nice, um, Piggy, but let's talk about that some other time.) I, um, get that you don't have any peers.
Miss Piggy, Presidential Candidate: Vous are very kind to say so. Now--where was I?
Ru: (shuffling notes) Um, you were planning on giving Dr. Bunz, er, I mean, fellow candidate Honeydew a rebuttal for alleging that you have, um, violent tendencies.
Miss Piggy, Presidential Candidate: Oh! Oh, yes. Moi would like to dispute the rumors that Moi has ever treated anyone in any fashion other than what they deserved. (whispering to Ru: Was that all?)
Ru: (whispering) Yes. That was lovely dear. All done.
Kermit: Nice job, honey. Now--I wanted to talk to you about the peer thing. See, I would agree that you are without equal--
Miss Piggy, Presidential Candidate: Vous are too sweet.
Kermit: --but I always thought of us as peers.
Miss Piggy, Presidential Candidate: How cute!
Kermit: (persistently) I mean, don't you? Piggy?
Miss Piggy, Presidential Candidate: Um, Kermie, I--ha, ha--think my public is calling me. Kissy kissy!
Rizzo: (coming up behind Kermit and whispering in his ear) She's right--and you should hear what they're calling her!

[Ruahnna]

Ruahnna: Miss Piggy would like to thank her stalwart campaign planners for all their tireless work on her behalf. Um... (Looks at note in hands in obvious consternation.) Um...kissy-kissy. (Muttering to self: I have soooo got to start looking at what she hands me before I get up and read it.)

[The Count]

Scooter: Thanks Miss Piggy. Needed to hear that. *Leaves merrily off to the boarding house for a good night's sleep, if he can get one that is.

[Beauregard]

Link Hogthrob: *wearing an "I (heart) Miss Piggy" t-shirt* Woohoo, Piggy! I support you! *pulls t-shirt off and waves it over head*


Dr Strangepork: Vill you stop dis show of unrequited affection towards a first-mate and co-star. Vit's not allowved between staff of the Pork Fleet (pork feet? Trotters and gravey? Eheheh...vait...) Ahem. I vill stand beside the other qualified Doctor of dis show, Bunsen H, PhD, ASAP, and RIP.

[The Count]

From out of the shadows... Uncle Deadly: RIP, yes, I support that position, especially when it looks like two of the candidates will be dead soon.
*Evil laughter as he mysteriously leaves the scene.

[redBoobergurl]

Cookie: *gulp* Dead? Uh-oh. Here the props Herry. We better make good ad and fast!

[The Count]

Count: Relax Cookie... My fiend vas refering to the fact that neither Pepe nor Yorick have made appearances yet, nor have they garnered any wotes. So they'll be the first to be dropped from the ballot this coming Sunday.

Scooter: Hey Count, we need you on violin seeing as how Floyd and Animal won't make it for the gig later today.
Count: Wery vell my lad. Gives me a chance to sit in vith the band.

[redBoobergurl]

Cookie: *sighs* Oh good. Herry, we better get back to work on ad. We want to make our furry blue friend look good. Me got good props here. Cookies! Just kidding. Instead, me got cute furry little kitty cat and some balloons.

[Ruahnna]

Miss Piggy, Presidential Candidate: Since image is suuuch an important part of any campaign, I would like to show you all the FABulous photo that Moi had taken! KISSY KISSY!

[The Count]

... OOC: If my eyes weren't blind and batty...
Scooter, taking his glasses off and rubbing them: Gosh, that's a great photo of you Miss Piggy. Hey, let's use this one for your campaign posters!
*Runs off to get the posters at the local print shop for the pep rally in a couple of hours.

Count: Ah, I love counting the turn-out for a popular ewent such as this! *Counts heads of the people already getting in their seats for the rally while enjoying the breezy jazz music from Zoot and Lips' instruments.

[Teheheman]

Sorry Piggy, but the link won't work for me

Daniel

[The Count]

Huh? Scooter, asking the others he's handed posters to: This true guys? Is the link not working for anybody? Will have to talk to Piggy about that when she gets back. OK guys, we're ready to start the rally! Um, no, check that... Just play some music until Piggy gets here.
Dr. Teeth: Sounds like a plan man.
Janice: Like fer sure.
The band consisting of Dr. Teeth on his electric keyboard, Janice on guitar, The Count on violin with a helping hand on tamboorine, Zoot on saxophone and Lips on trumpet go into a musical medley of hits assured to get the crowd clappin' their hands and tappin' their feet waiting for the first lady of Muppetdom to arrive.

[Luke]

Bunsen: Here at Muppet Labs we have the latest Windows 92 technology which never fails us (except that time we sent Beaker into a virtual Elmos world which was scary). We think its typical of Miss Piggy posting a link that just leads to advertising for "Photobucket" and feel that she's just using this campaign for commercial advantages. She didn't even appear in her own campaign video, probably too busy off ham hocking her merchandise on informercial channels - lest we forget "Moi" perfume, the Kermit & Piggy pillow, the nude .... er i mean new Porcelain dolls, and at least three versions of the Miss Piggy action figure.

I will soon be previewing the "Work Your Bunz With Dr Bunz" fitness video campaign commercial thingy starring Jessica Simpson and made in aid of charity - the Singing Lessons For Rejected American Idol Contestants Foundation!

[Erine81981]

Herry: Thanks Cookie. Alright Grover. I'm about to start rolling for our commerical. You better hurry.

[Ruahnna]

[Erine81981]

OOC: I can't see it either. It brings me to Photobucket but i'm already a member. It makes me sign in but brings me to my folder not yours.

[Ruahnna]

Miss Piggy, Presidential Candidate: Moi would like to thank everyone who showed such kind interest in not being able to link to Moi's presidential campaign picture, and--without mentioning a certain scientist by name, a certain scientist who just happens to be running against Moi--would like to blame all of the trouble on the scientific community at large.
Ruahnna: Er, Piggy, I don't think you can actually blame--
Miss Piggy, Presidential Candidate: (brushing off Ru's protests) And despite all the hardships endured, Moi has worked tirelessly to get this campaign picture to you in all it's gloriousness. Kissy kissy voting members! (All you non-voting members BACK OFF!)
Kermit: Better do as she says!

The link about has now been corrected!

[The Count]

Sal: Was that meant as... Hey, all youz guys get out there and vote for Miss Piggy!
Everybody leaves jubilant at the huge crowd that showed up for Piggy's pep rally, pledging their votes as they were handed campaign posters and Miss Piggy pins, not to mention refreshments provided by Sarah Y's muffin bakery. The band exchanges smiles and laughs as they head on back to their respective domiciles, packing up the instruments before walking out of the town square.

[theprawncracker]

Grover: Oh, okay Herry, Cookie I am ready! *holds kitty* Hello everybodeeeeeeeeeee!! It is I, your favorite furry, blue, world travelling monster, Grover. And this is my kitty, um... kitty! And we think that you should vote for me, Grover, right, Kitty?
*The cat tackles Grover*
Grover: WHAAA! *falls over* *wrestles with cat* *gets back up, disshevled* ...Uh, I do not think we should use that take... *falls back over*

[Erine81981]

Herry: Uh Cookie? Where did you get that cat?

[redBoobergurl]

Cookie: Me found the cat walking down the street. Me asked if it liked Grover and it meowed so me thought it would be good idea. Kitty cute and furry, Grover cute and furry. Oh well, back to the drawing board.

[anytimepally]

The Amazing Mumford: Ladies and gentlemen, I've decided that magicians and politics don't mix.. so for my next magic trip, and perhaps my last attempt to clean up this campaign during the first round, I'll need some volunteer from the audience..

George the Janitor: (accidentally wandering out on stage) Hey.. what's goin' on around here?

The Amazing Mumford: Hello there, sir.. And now, ladies and gentlemen, watch as a say the magic word, wave my magic wand, and use this kind volunteer to clean up this campaign.. a-la peanut butter sandwiches!

George the Janitor: (as Mumford waves his magic wand) Volunteer? I didn't volunteer

(a mop and bucket appear in front of George the Janitor)

The Amazing Mumford: There you are, sir.. now get to work cleaning up this campaign!

George the Janitor: I can't clean all this!

The Amazing Mumford: Nonsense! You'll be done before you know it.. (as George starts mopping) Thank you, thank you.. that's all the time I have.. thank you!

[The Count]

Hey Mumford and George... Just remember to vote for Piggy when you're done in here.

[dwayne1115]

Bean Bunny Ok everyone In the cutness department of this Campain i have made some big sings that say "Go Cute vote for the Doc."

Bean Bunny

[The Count]

Lew Zealand: Hee... Looks like Bean needs to run his speeches through a spellchecker again.

[Erine81981]

*groans after hearing Bean* Ooooo what to do? If i go vote for Dr. B and not for Grover then i'm doomed.

Herry: But Kyle? You know that Grover is much more....*his attion draws into a zombie like trance* But bun-nies are cu-ter! *starts walking off like Frankenstien's monster*

Uh oh! Cookie! Grover! We need helllllllllllllaaaahhhhhhh!!! *runs off to fine Cookie and Grover*

[The Count]

*Meanwhile... This way Herry... Vote here and we'll take care of that zombie stare you've got.

[theprawncracker]

Grover: It looks like that cute little bunny rabbit is trying to out-cute I, Grover. Well, it seems I will just have to show this homemade commercial I made all by myself just for all of you, my friends! OKAY, STEVIE, ROLL 'EM!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkF0hVZtUFk

[Luke]

Bunsen: Barfs !!!!!

On behalf of everyone here at the Muppet Labs, we'd like to welcome our extra cute, cuddly, and totally adorable new campaign manager, Mr Bean Bunny.

[Erine81981]

Herry: *snaps out of it before getting to Bean* Oh how cute. That Grover comes up with i think the best way to win any votes for him. Go friend!

Hello everybodiiieeeee!! Thanks Grover for letting me use your famous quote. Herry, Me and Cookie have a song to sing. It might not make any since but here it is! Hit it FilFil!

DJ FilFil: You got it Kyle! *starts playing with the turn tables*

Music starts and Kyle, Cookie and Herry start singing "Mahna Mahna"

[Ruahnna]

Fozzie: So, how's is the presidential election going?
Kermit: Well, we have one candidate that refers to himself in the third person, one that refers to herself in the third person in French, no less! We have one that no one can understand most of the time and one raving lunatic.
Fozzie: (after a moment of just staring at his friend) *Sigh* In other words, business--
Kermit: Business as usual. Actually--this is going better than I hoped.
Fozzie: What will the new president actually do?
Kermit: If we're lucky--no lasting damage.
Fozzie: And if we're not lucky?
Kermit: I'm trying not to think about that....

[theprawncracker]

Grover: *gasp!* Froggy babieeeeeeeeeee! *smacks Kermit on the back* Oh it is so good to see you again! I have missed you so! You are here to cast your vote for little, old Grover, are you not? *cute face*

[The Count]

Scooter: At this time, we are not at liberty to reveal just which candidate Mr. Kermit will be voting for. So please refrain from asking like questions in the future. That is all.

*Wiping brow, boy I hope he makes the right choice. Would hate to have to scrape him off of one of the theater's walls.

[Luke]

Muppet Newsman This is a Muppet Newsflash! Excitement and apprehension is abound in Muppet land with speculation as to which way Kermit The Frog is planning to vote. Being a secret ballot we can't release details from our insider sources as to how he will vote, as we don't actually have any - BUT i can reveal that in a move that will shock many, (especially Kermit once the Pig gets hold of him), the frog himself earlier today filmed a cameo role in the forthcoming and hotly anticipated Dr Bunz Campaign Video. Sources say Dr Bunsen will soon release a transcript of this masterpiece to the media and as usual, we'll have it here last. Other suprise Muppets were also on set filming appearances, including one who had a huge yellow trailer, and two guest stars who had twin trailers. The shoot was directed by Mr Rizzo of Rizzo T Rat Cheapo Productions alongside George Lucas, Produced by Gonzo T Great, Executive Producers are Steven Speilberg, Brian Henson, Lisa Henson and all the other Hensons. The script was written by Bean Bunny alongside co-writers Ozzy Osbourne and Wily Coyote. All monies recieved from the film will be given to Mr Pepe King Prawn of the hot dates for lonley crustuceans charity. More news to follow after these pictures of goldfish!

[Beakerfan]

Beaker: That's right GROVER. Kermit doesn't want to say who he's voting for because - secretly - he's voting for ME.

[The Count]

Scooter: Get away you trouble makers!!

Sam the Eagle: I have been asked to come here and debunk this load of rot that the Bunsen Honeydew campaign is attempting to pass off as "newsworthy". The Kermit they have reported to be involved in their latest campaign commercial is nothing more than a mere poser, a charletan. They have ceaselessly continued to wage a fierce front against Miss Piggy... All because she is a female pig seeking to be the first woman president,a noble pursuit. And as we know, men of science are always deathly afraid of women in power. So I assure you that Kermit has not voted for Bunsen Honeydew, nor has he voted for Beaker, these were nothing more than a pack of cheap lies disseminated by both members of the former Muppet Labs As it turns out, they have not paid their mortgage loans and the bank defaulted on their property. So the First Bank of Hensonville has sent in people to repossess the apothecary abode and put it up for sale through auction. Now then, if these attacks do not end, we here at the Miss Piggy campaign will be forced to release our secret weapon, which we have resisted from unleashing for quite some time. That is all.. Move along citizens and vote for Miss Piggy.

[Erine81981]

Herry: Who's the bald eagle guy?

He's really out dated. He don't like them but he keeps hanging out with them. Don't understand the guy. Come on. Let's you and the others go get something to eat.

Herry: Sounds good to me.

[Luke]

Muppet Newsman: This is a Muppet Newsflash. Bananas Split! In other news Sam The Eagle was today revealed as being of Canadian origin. Psychologists say this should have been detected earlier from his guilty stance of promoting the USA, and his shifty eyes which has even led to there being an action figure variant. As immigration officials ruffled his feathers during a lengthy interview he was reported to have gone into a panic and tried to distract peoples attention by making false claims about Kermit The Frogs appearance in the Dr Bunz campaign video (on DVD soon) and about the financial status of Muppet Labs. Police have confirmed that the contract between Kermit The Frog and Dr Bunsen is authentic, watertight, and that there are no financial problems at Muppet Labs. Kermit The Frog had this to say at a hastily arranged press conference while making a special appearance judging a dancing poodle contest :-

Kermit: Jeez guys, whats the big deal. I just filmed a small walk on part in the Dr Bunz campaign video. He's a great guy, he stands up for all green issues and he's even a similar color to me. I don't see the problem.

** Someone holds up sign showing photo of Miss Piggy and points to it **

Kermit: Ummm, Ugh I see the problem. (Runs)

[The Count]

Sam: What do you mean "outdated" sir?!? I'll have you know that the proud bald eagle is the national bird, the very symbol of these glorious United States of America. Now go out and do your civic duty by voting.
Sal: For Miss Piggy!

[Luke]

** Immigration officials lead Sam The Eagle away, handcuffed and looking dishevelled **

Bunsen: Hey Sal. Free bananas over at the Dr Bunz Campaign Headquarters. Johnny's Ma is even over there making pasta for everyone with "Vote Bunz" written in tomato sauce. Didn't you know? Johnny Fiamma sang the theme to the Dr Bunz Campaign Video.

[The Count]

Morty appears out of a column of flames: Unhand my client! He's a natural born citizen.
*The immigration police, scared for their lives of the devil, release Sam and nervously scurry off.

Sal: Free bananas? Here's what I think of your doity underhanded tactics Bun-baby!
*Throws banana cream pi, smacking Bunsen straight in the face smudging his glasses.

Uncle Deadly: One more deed like that Bunsen, and we shall unleash our secret weapon upon you... The likes of which you will regret to your dying day.

Telly: Why is it that this seem to be getting a little out of hand?

FilFil: Because i think it is.

Telly: Let's get out of here!

Both run off

[theprawncracker]

Grover: Oh, my voters are running! Do not be afraid! *runs into phone booth* *comes out as Super Grover* I, SU-per Grover will protect you!

[Erine81981]

Telly and FilFil turn around and see Super Grover

Telly and FilFil: Wow!

FilFil: It's Super Grover.

Telly: The superest super hero monster. I wanna get his autograph!

FilFil: No i am!

Both take off after Super Grover and run into him instead

Telly: Ooooo sorry 'bout that Super Grover.

FilFil: It was Telly's fault.

Telly: It was FilFil. Not mine. You believe me Super Grover! *pulling at Grover's fur*

[theprawncracker]

Grover: Wha ah ah ah! Yes- Telly- I- Believe- You- And- You- Can- Both- Have- My- Autographs! *falls back over*

[Ruahnna]

Ruahnna: Piggy honey--what is this package in the hallway?
Piggy: Oooh! They came! They came!
Ruahnna: (doubtfully) What came?
Piggy: Moi's new campaign pictures!
Ruahnna: More pictures? Honey, this election is supposed to be about substantive issues--not how well you look in....(trails off) Wow. These are good. Has Kermit seen these? (shakes head to clear it) I mean--Piggy, being president is about serving your constituents.
Piggy: My constitu-whats?
Sal: Hey! I come to get the latest shipment of--heeey! Looking good, Miss Presidential Hopeful.
Piggy: (disbelieving at his freshness) What did you say?
Kermit: Hey Piggy, have you seen--um, gee. Are these the new pictures?
Piggy: Yes, Mon Capitan. You like?
Kermit: Well, they're a little, um, you know, less presidential than the last ones that you--
Sal: Hey--who many of these do you want me to plaster around town?
Piggy: (breaking away from gazing in to Kermit's eyes) Everywhere! Put them on every storefront, bulletin board and telephone pole that you--
Fozzie: You called?
Piggy: I did not! But now that you're here, you can put up some of these pictures.
Ruahnna: (desperately trying to restore order) But Piggy, what about the....
(she is alone) issues. Foo.
Foo Foo: You called.
Ruahnna: No, dear. Nevermind.
Foo Foo: Ooh! Nice picture of Piggy!
Ruahnna: (muttering) When she looks good, you look good.
Foo Foo: C'mon--I'll take you for a walk. You look like you could use it.

[The Count]

... Scooter: Now if only we could get some more votes to go with those new campaign pictures as thanks for the tireless work we're... *yawns* doing here on Piggy's behalf.
Catherine, you mind if I come and walk you home? Or you walk me home?
*Trods off, a little sleepily as the hour is now late for the gofer to be awake.

[Luke]

Muppet Newsman: This is a Muppet Newsflash! It's raining cats and dogs [cat falls at his feet and screeches]. In other news, here is a transcript of the brand new, hotly anticipated all star campaign video for Dr Bunsen Honeydew, so good, that two of the other candidates have been stunned into silence!

************************************************** **

A Vote For Fun Is A Vote For Dr Bunz - Commercial

Johnny Fiama: (singing) When your Bunz are sore, cos your life is such a chore. Vote for a new dawn, instead of other guys who just make you yawn. Some say he's a maniac, but really he's a brainiac. Be smart, mark your make, vote for Dr Bunz!

Kermit: Good evening frog lovers. I'm here tonight to ask you to vote for Dr Bunz. A furry monster may ooze cuteness, but where does he stand on the serious issues? The answer? Not very far when he's only about 3 feet tall. And a pig for president? Sheesh? Miss Piggy has made my medical insurance bills rise ever since i met her. Beaker? Well how long is a radioactive president gonna last. I support Dr Bunz - it's not easy being green, and he's making a stand on green issues in this campaign ....

Gonzo: Yeah, more green skittles in each pack, glow in the dark green socks for every woman and child, and new green lingerie for chickens.

Dr Phil Van Neuter And Dr Bunz stands for the latest technological issues, like providing unlimited shot nerf guns and water guns that shoot at the speed of light during his 2pm daily happy hour - and his stand on safety is second to none. If you get killed using one of his inventions he'll gladly replace the product no questions asked.

Bean Bunny: And a special message to all you lovers of the cute and cuddly ... don't be fooled by other cute guys, they're monsters. I'm the cutest muppet and Dr Bunz has never hurt me, yet, so please vote for him, please, for your ol' buddy Beany.

Pepe: These muffets are right si? I am another candidate in this election and even i am appearing in this Dr Bunz campaign video, along with these lovely girls here (girls in bikinis appear around Pepe) who Dr Bunz said i will be shaking my bon bons with. So let's dance girls , okay?

Pepe & Girls (dancing to spanish salsa music) Vote for Bunz Hokay, or we will spank you, like bad bad donkeys!

Dr Bunsen (appears in a grass skirt playing the spanish guitar) Yes a vote for me, means penguins in speedos. The whitehouse will be green, and we'll put elmo in space. You can nerf gun your friends, and splat cream pies in their face. I'll bring back the fraggles, and make sprockets tail waggle. We'll give the Muppeteers a raise and make sure Disney pays. So let me win this race, cos i'm Dr Bunz and the Bunz are ace!

Ending legal information - three small rodents were harmed in the making of this campaign video and it was sponsored by pop rocks and the letters TAX DEDUCTIBLE!

[The Count]

*Upon the airing of said previous commercial, the television in the Muppet Newsman's room explodes proving that the Vote for Buns campaign was far too charged of mistruths for it to continue playing a single second more.

Kermit supporting Honeydew... As if!

[Luke]

*The proof was there for everyone on screen Scooter, the pig is fried!*

I wonder what will happen when Miss Piggy hears of Kermits dissapearance ..... i mean, appearance.

[The Count]

Proof of what? Your disingenuine attempt to have a Kermitclone try to pass himself off as the real thing. She'll pretty much let you know her displeasure herself with stealing Kermit, or an identical replica thereof to make it look like Kermit actually endorsed your campaign. And believe me, you'll feel it in the morning.

[anytimepally]

the pig is fried!

Rizzo the Rat: Did somebody say bacon?

[The Count]

*Shhhh... Keep quiet or there'll be rat-a-touille added to the menu.

[Ruahnna]

Miss Piggy, Presidential Candidate: (sputtering) Stunned into silence? Stunned into silence my Aunt Myrtle! If I get a hold of the bozo who grabbed me and threw me in that closet, why I'll--
Muppet Newsguy: This is a Muppet New Flash! Miss Piggy, Presidential Candidate for the mostly irrelevant position of Grand Poobah of the mostly disinterested populace of Muppet Central has just come out of her closet!
(Miss Piggy, Presidential Candidate, looms over the Muppet Newsguy, who looks uncomfortably over his shoulder.)
Muppet Newsguy: Um, and very attractive she looks! Are those new shoes?
Miss Piggy, Presidential Candidate: HI! Yah!
(Muppet Newsguy goes flying over the head of Ru as she enters the room.)
Ruahnna: (entering the room) Was that the Muppet Newsguy? Oh Piggy! There you are! I've been looking all over for you! Where have you been?
Miss Piggy, Presidential Candidate: (indignantly) LOCKED IN MY CLOSET ALL DAY!
Ruahnna: Oh--Honey! Are you hurt? What happened?
Miss Piggy, Presidential Candidate: (with excessive dignity) Moi is not damaged.
Ruahnna: Well, I'm glad to hear that. Now c'mon, Piggy--we've got a press conference in a few.
Miss Piggy, Presidential Candidate: (faintly) A press conference? With reporters? (touches hair self-consciously) How do I look?
Ruahnna: (fondly) Ravishing, dear. Now come--it won't take them long to revive the Muppet Newsguy, and then they'll want us.

[Ruahnna]

Ruahnna: (opening the press conference) Miss Piggy would like to gratefully acknowledge all of the muppets who have worked so tirelessly on her campaign. (blushing) Um, kissy kissy to Scooter and Ed and, um, Uncle Deadly. (hissing, to Piggy: Piggy--You're supposed to kiss babies! Not dead dragons! I am not going to kissy-kissy anyone else for you in this campaign!) Thank you to Sal for all the muscle--and the bananas. And thanks to Sam and Eagle for his unimpeachible efforts to stem the tide of negative campaigning and keep things, um, strictly American. And thanks to Morty for all the, um, legal advice. (Talk to you in a minute, okay Morty?) Now--any questions for Miss Piggy, Presidential Candidate?
Rizzo: Did somebody say "impeach"? She hasn't even been elected yet! Speaking of--anybody got any fruit? I'm hungry!
(Sal nails him in the eye with a bunch of bananas.)
Rizzo: (weakly) Thanks! (falls over)

[Erine81981]

Oscar: Who is it were voting for again?

Gordon: For Grover. *puts his vote in*

Oscar: For that cute ball of fur. That's almost saying i would vote for the little red menace.

Susan: Oh come on Oscar. Grover is our friend. Wouldn't you do this for Big Bird?

Oscar: The turkey? Why?

Gordon: Just forget i Oscar. You don't have to do anything we tell you. Come on dear. *Gordon and Susan walk off*

Oscar: What?!

Herry: *sees Oscar* Hey Oscar. You here to vote for Grover

Oscar: *still looking at Gordon and Susan*

Herry: He-llooooo! *waves hand in front of Oscar's face*

Oscar: Huh? What? Oh it's you Herry.

Herry: Are you here to vote for Grover?

Oscar: Nope....well...i guess...nah.....uhhhh...nah....I DON'T KNOW! *starts crying*

Herry: Man i have never see a grouch cry before.

[The Count]

*At press conference..
Lewis: Miss Piggy, how do you respond to the shameless chicanery perpretrated by the Honeydew campaign, portraying Kermit as voting for their green party nominee?

*Passing by... Oh hi Oscar. You gonna vote for Grover? That guy's a ball of fuzzy and blue cuteness. Or you could vote for the candidate whose as rough as a grouch, and can back up her campaign pledges with muscle. She's got a mean streak that'd make any trashcan tennant proud. Vote for Piggy... Or not, whatever.
*Goes off to get some refreshments from the booth near the conference.

Herry: Figures. *yells out* Come one. Come all. Vote for the furry cute monster Grover. The one who you want your kids to grown up to be like. Kind and cute is the way i say to go.

[Luke]

Rizzo the Rat: Did somebody say bacon?

Van Neuter: As much bacon as you can stomach at the Dr Bunz Near Victory BBQ tonight after the polls close. We'll be putting a pig on a spit.
And that means FIRE!!!!
Rizzo: .... and that means after YOU light the BBQ, the FIRE SERVICE! I think the pig will be spitting, especially when she hears about your plans.
Van Neuter: The pigs already spitting. She's heard about Kermit making that cameo in the Dr Bunz video. He's secretly backing us because he doesn't want Piggy to become the first lady, something to do with an increased clothing allowance. Except we told him it was just a campaign video rehearsal, he was gonna do it disguised as Mickey Mouse and speaking in German.
Elmo: Hi there fellas. Elmo loves Dr Bunz. He told Elmo he gonna send him on a long holiday into space. Elmo gonna be astronaut.
Rizzo: Heh heh, I have a feeling thats gonna be a loooooong journey. I hear they're handing out a new Dr Bunz action figure variant tonight at the party. It's Dr Bunz wearing his grass skirt, coconut bikini with the spanish guitar accessory - limited to only 50 pieces. Scooter wants one but we're gonna make him walk over hot coals first. Mmmm roasted gofer!

[The Count]

Heh... Victory party, yeah right. Maybe you don't realize this, but Grover's got four more votes than you, Bunwormer. And why would I want that bootlegged custom? I'd rather buy it from Ken's store. And besides, I can just blast your silly little party to kingdom come employing the services of the Smart Bombs I secretly programmed to destroy anybody who keeps trying to sabotage our campaign with the idiocy of a fake Kermit.

See you tonight when we reveal that secret video of you and that ladyfriend of yours that you hoped would never air on public television Bunwormer.
*Leaves with a smirk on his face.

[Luke]

Heh... Victory party, yeah right. Maybe you don't realize this, but Grover's got four more votes than you, Bunwormer.

ooc - We said Near Victory, we will be very happy with second tonight and will be working tirelessly to make sure Bean Bunny out cutes them in the next round.

Rizzo: And we'll be happy having seconds at dinner tonight as well. And that Ken fella? He's supporting Dr Bunz as well, he's got his backroom monkeys making the figures - always been a fan of bunz from what i hear.

:eek:

Voting Commission

The poll has been edited to show most votes to least in the last election.

Pepe and Yorick have conceded to their compaign opponents and must now begin pulling for the politician they feel deserves the position of President.

A new thread will begin so we can have a new poll to vote from and it will close in 5 days.
