Sam (FremStar)'s next display picture?

Greetings TRF,

As you probably all noticed (unless I'm the only one...*sigh* I need to go out more often), our friend Sam decided to go on a rampage of display picture changes! Seems like Kermit the frog changed clothes more than I did in the two months I've been here!

Therefore, I'd like to start the official Kermit the frog election campaign. We all propose a picture and perhaps, if he pleases, Sam could choose one as his next picture and reward the big winner with...well I don't know...some seafood or something...a lobster...a shrimp...an oyster (see what I did there?)!

I propose this one! Who's your candidate?



P.S.: In the unfortunate eventuality that Sam would refuse to change his picture...well......like damn!

Carl I truly feel honored by your gesture. The Kermit the Frog theme is more of a sentimental thing for me, long story short Kermit was introduced on a show called Sam and Friends. I got the pleasure of meeting the late Mr. Jim Henson many years ago and recently was invited to his daughters bash at the New Victory Theatre a month ago. Many Thanks for this thread and I will happily oblige to the contest!

I understand you Sam, I'd be honored if somebody as important as me started a thread about my person!

Nice to hear that little story about your admiration for Kermit! Let's just hope other people will join in!

I find it unfortunate that nobody seems to recognize the great things Kermit has done for us over the years, therefore I thought I could post a couple of other pictures I found in the net and that I want to suggest to my man Sam!

Unfortunately everybody doesn't have the passion we share for Kermit! It's quite amazing to see how many people took the time to put up pictures of a frog puppet!

Well I'd gladly talk to him on Skype and agree with you but Peggy told me: "y'all ain't touching my frog, he's mine! mine"!

...True story...
