| 	THE ROCKY HORROR MUPPET SHOW
| 
| It started out easy, casting Gonzo as Rif-Raf and Link Hogthrob as
| Brad.  This would naturally lead to Miss Piggy as Janet, and Dr.
| Strangepork as Dr. (von) Scott.  Animal would have to be Eddie.  Now it
| gets tricky.
| 
| We are still left with Frankenfurter, Rocky, a noted (neckless)
| criminologist, Magenta, Colombia, and a whole slew of minor types.
| 
| Worse still, how do we fit Kermit into this mess?  I had originally
| thought of making him Brad, and religating Link and Anny Sue Pig to the
| roles of Ralph and Betty Habshatts, but Kermit is missing Brad's major
| (only?) personallity trait.  Showbiz is harder than I thought.  Maybe I
| should stick to programming.
| 
| Well, how about it, netland. Any ideas?

Well, Kermit could easily be Frankenfurter, with Miss Piggy as Magenta.
You disagree?  What is more ... perverse ... than a frog with a pig fetish?

That leaves Janet (the blonde, airhead muppet singer from Electric Mayhem)
to play Janet.  Link Hogthrob would be a GREAT Brad.  Animal is a fine
Eddie.  Gonzo might be ok as Rif-Raf.

Still no ideas for Rocky.  Hmmm.  Yep, that's it!!  FOZZIE BEAR!!
Dr. (von) Scott could be Strangepork, or Dr Benson Honeydew might be
talked into it.
Annie Sue Pig should be Columbia.  She can tapdance.

The criminologist. . . Well, judging from the problems I was having with
understanding him, the Swedish Chef would be good.  Trouble is, he might
have some problems adjusting to the role.  No cooking.

Ho.
