yup, that’s right. i’m terrified of mummenschanz.

many of you who know me, already know this. but here i am, laying it out there for all of the rest to see, thanks to this week’s “this is…” theme.

i know they are supposed to be funny and whimsical, but ever since childhood they have freaked me out. to this day, my heart skips a beat and i have an awful gut reaction to them. at least as an adult i can be slightly fascinated by them, but that childhood terror still bubbles right up to the surface.

if you aren’t as spooked by them as i am, feel free to go here for a small video overview of their work, or here to see them on the muppet show. good luck sleeping tonight if you watch them!
