Muppify a Dracula costume?

I'm talking basic here!

...which would be a good thing in November in DC!

Bright color fake fur,
Any amount,
Anywhere on your body.
That should do it!
No, really. Anyone who thinks they couldn't make a costume, do it!

Your post made me think of Emmett in his blue fake fur hooker coat.

Buy a yellow sweatsuit and attach a few feathers here and there with a bit of tape or sticky fabric glue. Get a yellow stocking cap and attach a few more feathers to it in the same manner, maybe a bit of yellow face paint. Carry a teddy bear or even make a sign about Big Bird or PBS-everyone will get the gist.

...one could go with characters from "The Muppet Show" like the 2 curmudgeonly old guys or the Swedish chef.

It is a muppet march, so I imagine there will be Muppet Show characters too. And I doubt there will be anyone there policing costumes.

Who's the reddest muppet, damn it?

But I want to see Guy Smiley. He's a dead ringer for Mitt.

I hope he's no longer so lumpen!

2 older white gentlemen there dressed as The Muppet Show's curmudgeonly old gents with a sign that reads "Two Angry White Men for Obama."

I'll be there with my older brother. He's 60 and I'm close to 59. We will have a huge sign!

Be sure to take pictures!

Whose most recent fb picture is a photo of him with Jim Henson, back in the early 70's. I hope he can make the march.

Definitely awesome!

I'm getting loopy.

Now that will be a good media spectacle ..

I'm going to carry a sign that says, this bird brought to you be the numbers 4 and 7 and %. On the back, I'm going to have an Obama sticker and "Don't Forget to Vote!"

Look at Sheldon Adelson giving his Israeli newspaper away for free to drive his more liberal competitors out of business.

Vote for Obama/Biden

I know the media will ignore it.

but I don't think even they will be able to ignore large numbers of muppets--and people --on the National Mall.

Huge marches with a total media blackout, even in DC.

I live close though, so I'll be there anyway.

but if not, it looks like we'll have a lot of documentation from DUers. Can't wait to see the pics!

as I would love it!

But it's only 3 hours long. I can't justify traveling that far for three hours.


Too bad they can't combine it with Muppet Fest!

memorials. There are days of worthwhile things to do in the immediate area.

I want to be Muppety!

And we all know Bert is not afraid to get into the fray.

Maybe not what I would think of for the march but hey, guess there will be a Muppet for everyone!

"Sexy Sesame Street Halloween Costumes"

It sets up an opportunity for Mitt to see the light and embrace Big Bird before the election. Oh, and because everyone is representing Muppets, they are obliged to forgive as only a chld can forgive.

Halloween is on the way!

He's a Muppet, kind of. Well, he was made by the Henson Creature Shop for "Farscape".

Although the cause is just, there is, without question, no way in hell anyone will take this seriously. It'll just be "the lighter side of the news" look from the nation.

Aside from that I believe this kind of protest will have emotional, intrinsic value further highlighting Romney's disconnect from the masses.

All I said was having muppets/puppets/whathaveya as a major part of the protest (which I agree that cutting public TV/radio funding is evil) diminishes credibility and the seriousness of the matter. Why? The puppets in particular will just steal the show and the message will big utterly ignored. Tourists who travel to DC will stumble on to them, look at the puppets and say "how cute!". The Puppeteer/protestor will be overcome with pride in his/her craftsmanship will have the real message, the reason he/she is there in the first place, will go out the other ear.

Lamens (sp) terms, PUPPETS/MUPPETS = DISTRACTION!

watching Sesame Street from a very early age, this was pre-education for tens of millions of Americans many at a disadvantaged income level.

The muppets' image hold an emotional, intrinsic value tied to those days and Romney for all practical purposes is against governmental support of this public treasure.

Either Romney doesn't see the value or he doesn't care, in either case he's disconnected and a muppet/puppet protest would highlight this realism gulf between him and the masses.

I was only teasing about your avatar, peace to you.

was dumbfounded over the avatar remark.

Not a distraction-- an issue taken on by the image of the issue itself-- American style branding at its best. Certainly doesn't minimize or diminish credibility-- by the very act itself, it add credibility via brilliant marketing.

Although I realize you've already convinced yourself no one will take its seriously, and although you've already convinced yourself that people will do A and B at the expense of C (with zero supporting evidence) I imagine there will be a rather large contingent of people who do.
