Not-so-Fun Trivia Quiz Rejection and an unlikely attraction to Miss Piggy...

Not-So-Fun Trivia Quiz Rejection
I sincerely doubt I have any readers, but if I do, you may recall that I had mentioned that I would post my FOTC quiz once it was accepted on Fun Trivia...Well, I was assigned to a hypercritical quiz "editor" and his/her trivia fascism & unreasonable grammatical critiques were far too much for me to handle...Maybe if formulating quizzes was my full time job I would stick with it, but since it's not, I opted to post my quiz using PlayBuzz & it can be found here

Miss Piggy, the Glenn Close a la "Fatal Attraction" of the Muppet Universe


Miss Piggy
As many FOTC fans who are also Muppets fans know, Bret McKenzie was the music supervisor for both the Muppets (2011) and the Muppets Most Wanted (2014). As such, he wrote all the original music for Muppets Most Wanted and so on the soundtrack, there is a demo version of the song "Something So Right" that is sung by Bret and I remember when I first listened to it, I instantly felt a mild and quite strange attraction to Miss Piggy. Yes, that's right somehow I see the Muppet pig version of Glenn Close a la Fatal Attraction (1987) in a slightly more favorable light thanks to Bret...

Garfunkel & Oates on IFC
If you're looking forward to the Garfunkel & Oates premiere on August 7th, watch the free episode "Speechless"...That should tide you over until then...PS the IFC short promos they do are great...especially when they sing the IFC slogan "Always on, slightly off"
