Tuesday Titter
The actual Encarta Dictionary definition of titter is: to laugh in a nervous self-conscious way
I almost changed the title of my semi-regular Tuesday postings to a more fitting one, but feel that "Tuesday Guffaw" or "Tuesday Chortle" just doesn’t have the alliteration I am looking for. And as anyone allows attesting, I am all about alliteration. Besides, a lot of what goes into a "Tuesday Titter" post is inspired by an awkward obsession I have or an embarrassing situation that made me titter.

I was shopping for some upcoming birthday
My heart did a little nostalgic leap at seeing Fozzy, Kermit and Animal gracing the cover of the recycled paper greetings. I tore into each one anticipating a trip down memory lane and perhaps shed some bittersweet tears reflecting on my bygone childhood. I eagerly read each hoping to find the humor that used to make me howl with laughter.
I found lackluster messages and absolutely NO trademark sayings.
No "Wocka Wocka".

No "Bork Bork Bork".
Thus, no cards from the Muppet genre were purchased. I opted for some sarcastic humor induced greetings.
The Muppet Show was one of my favorite shows growing up. I remember thinking it was laced with some adult humor and I was being naughty just watching it.
Choosing a favorite character or sketch would be too difficult, but there was always an extra bit of excitement when the Swedish Chef made an appearance. He was deliciously inappropriate and he had real human hands. “Bork Bork Bork!”

The stodgy old men Statler and Waldorf were a hoot. Their sarcasm helped shape the way I express myself today.
There is a lot of information about this fabulous show and I strongly urge you to trek the trek of your childhood. Start with the Wiki site.

If you don’t have a couple of hours to spend catching up with Pigs in Space and Gonzo, here is a treat to whet your Muppet appetite.

Great tittering titter there stuff, I know I loved that show too even if I am an old lady now. It was around even before you were born. I didn't get the great excitement before your birth but after I saw them in brand new light.
