ONE OF THE HIGH POINTS of last year’s The Muppets movie (and there were many), was the song between Walter and Gary, “Man or Muppet.”  It was an Oscar-winning song (admittedly in a slow music year), but it was also a brilliant take on differences and growing up.  One would think that there would be no more obvious distinction: you’re either a man or a muppet.

Enter Dahlia Lithwick of Slate Magazine.  This past Friday, Slate’s legal person released an essay titled “What Kind of Muppet Are You?” in which she drew the line between Order Muppets and Chaos Muppets.  Granted, I pretty much thing of every Muppet as some kind of Chaos Muppet, but she has a point.  Sure, it’s a tongue-in-cheek article that more people than not will probably take too seriously, but it is an interesting article to muse on (especially when she uses the distinction to give relationship advice.  You can check out the Slate article here.  What kind of Muppet are you?

And here’s the “official” video for “Man or Muppet.”  Have a great Monday!
