Happy 50th Birthday, Kermit The Frog!

http://tv.zap2it.com/tveditorial/tve_main/1,1002,271|96873|1|,00.html

Is everyone like having milestone birthdays all of the sudden, it seems? And what does Kermit have anything to do with Disney? Why, the muppets have a licensing agreement with Disney ever since Jim Henson brought the muppets to Disney/MGM Studios with The Muppets 3D attraction.

I have two of Kermit pins with "50" on them. I'll dig them out when I have the energy...

Kermie! Do they have a Miss Piggy pin? It may be no surprise that she was my favorite muppet when I was a kid...I always liked the way she karate chopped Kermie! :biggrin:

Hum... I think I have seen one. But now that I know you like the Piggy, I'll keep an eye out for it. I've never collected the muppet's pins before other than those two Kermit pins that I got for the special celebration.

Oh my gosh! This jumbo pin is unbelievable!

And nope, I won't be able to get it.

Nice pin, but they are showing favoritism to people that live in the area or don't have to work for a living or have unlimited wealth for flying back and forth to the park. :devil: I think I will sue Disney for the incredible amount of stress this unfair practice is causing me.

Hey, you think you're stressed by this. What about me, the one with the addiction?

I'll join you in the suit.

[Hum... that didn't come out right]

I'll join you in suing Disney.

If you join me in the suit we can sue them together. :-p

Good thing those SuperMentor uniforms are made of stretchy spandex! :smile:

I'm trying to see if Greg will let me change the PF logo on the front with Mickey Ears.

Well, the other SuperMentors didn't want it on their uniforms, but they agreed you could customize yours. Here are the PF SuperMentor uniform designs. :biggrin:

I think we might still need to talk to Greg about the blue and green clashing. :rolleyes:

I love the new uniform Moonbear! Greg may decide to change the forum colors next time he upgrades, you never know what the future may bring.

Oooh... I might actually WEAR something like that, even to work and Disney World!

Now about being able to fit in a suit with Evo...

Wow! This is another terrific pin that is going to be released on Monday.

http://eventservices.disney.go.com/pintrading/pin?id=10777

I wonder if Moonbie used it to draw the mickey ears on that logo? :)

I'm crossing my fingers that there are still a few left by the time I get there in 3 weeks, since there's no way to get it otherwise (other than paying a lot of money on ebay when it appears).

Oops, nope, I just made circles, not ovals. :rolleyes: But that was on purpose, to avoid trademark infringement...yeah, that's it! :rolleyes:

If we all go to Disney together, we should make commemorative PF mouse ear t-shirts! Now, before you get all crazy, I'm only going to wear it if we keep it to a pocket-size logo on a dark-color t-shirt (we'd have to put the logo inside a light-colored field so the ears show up). Do you think a t-shirt maker would be willing to risk doing the mouse-ears? Or would they balk at it as trademark infringement? We might just have to wear the t-shirt with the PF logo and mouse ears hats for the official PF photo. :biggrin:

Er... dark-color t-shirt in the Florida heat, Moonbie?

I'd say we make a T-shirt similar to the logo you had already, except the color combination has to change. :)

Ooooh.. a new WDW Passholder exclusive pin will be released tomorrow. I think this is the first time Chip & Dale will be featured on a passholder pin, at least within the past 2 1/2 years since I became an annual passholder.

Certainly something I look forward to getting soon. So hang on Chip and Dale, I'm comin' to get ya!

Yeah, the blue logo on green really doesn't go well. Oh, maybe the blue logo on a yellow shirt? Then we won't lose each other in the crowd as easily either! :bugeye:

Oh, and I just thought of a "theme" for our PF trip to the land of the mouse...

Geeks and Squeaks!

(Now if Greg would just hurry up and give us that <groan> smiley I requested, we could all insert it now. :smile:)

HEY! Who are you calling a squeak?!

:)

I don't mind wearing yellow, but there's a risk we might get confused with the notorious "Brazillian high school" teenagers. They tend to wear yellow and run over the park they are attending.

But then again, it has been ages since I get mistaken for a teenager, even though I still behave like one...

So this is still 2 years away, but in case you have an inkling of maybe visiting Walt Disney World (especially if you're from outside the US and will have to plan a trip like this way in advance), consider that Oct. 1st 2007 is the 25th Anniversary of Epcot. If they have learned anything from Disneyland's celebration, it is that a good birthday party draws the crowd in. So I expect them to pull out all the stops for this one, especially considering the international flavor of Epcot.

Do you know how old you suddenly made me feel with this news? I remember all the excitement when Epcot opened, and now you're telling me they have a 25th Anniversary coming up?! :cry:

Humm... this seems to be backfiring. :)

But Moonbie dear, I'm way older than you are!

[OK, that may have made you feel better, but now I'm depressed].

There is only one way to solve all this - we just have to plan our trip to Epcot for the Anniversary. I know for sure this will make ME feel better.

Well, I was going to ask if it would be a month-long celebration so I could go for my birthday, but then I checked the schedule for the conference I usually attend that time of year, and that year, it's in San Diego and the first week of November, so that might be a little too close (I was hoping that might be a year the conference rotated to the Orlando Convention Center). :frown:

Who am I kidding though? It's still too soon for me to plan the trip that's only about 4 months away let alone one in two years!

Gosh darn it <whacks Zz with her cane> you guys are posting too fast for me to keep up. What, it's 2007 already and it's Moonbears 25th Anniversary? I didn't even know she was married!

Didn't you get your invitation? Zz and I are going to get married at the Castle and we're registering at the Disney Store. :approve:

How long before we hear Zz screaming and running in fear when he sees this? :smile: :smile: :smile:

Well, I thought all the PF sisters would be bridesmaids, and you'll all wear mouse ears. :biggrin: I think Zz will wear all his pins on a sash like a prince, and I'll have golden mouse ears instead of a veil/headdress thing.

Hey, this is sounding way better than any regular wedding. :smile:
