Happy Birthday Jim Henson.

Today would have been Jim Henson's 70th birthday.

So in honor of that, tell me your favorite moment of Muppets or Henson's work in general.

I am grateful that I got to meet Jim Henson

I can't choose between two:

The viking pigs (and the ship)singing "In The Navy." I still roll on the floor with laughter every time I see that.

The entire "Muppet Christmas Carol," but especially the lines: "You're a little absent-minded, Spirit." "No, I'm a LARGE absent-minded spirit!"

My brother-of-spirit's mother went to high school with Jim.

Coool. six degrees is fun ain't it?

Have you ever seen the special when they show how they did the In the Navy sequence?
