Well-Respected Beards, No. 008: Jim Henson

Come on, you know you love him. How many smiles has this dude been responsible for over the last 40 years? How many people can recite that “Number 12″ song without even blinking? How hard is it to be green, really? Why does some silly rainbow video have half a million hits? I mean, seriously, it’s a sack made of green felt with some guy’s fist up in it not playing a miniature banjo.

Mr. Henson, if you’re out there, I just want to say thanks for that whole Dark Crystal thing, because the swamp scene totally blew my mind. Sorry I missed you in Leland.
