This is just a short post. One of the things I often enjoy about a pub quiz is the strange conversations that get thrown up. When you think about it there’s plenty of time between rounds – and depending upon the question master, between questions even. Last night there was one of the best. Adam, who is the most knowledgeable person on the subject of the Muppets that I have ever met was bemoaning the fact that the Muppets only ever made two film takes on works of classic literature – the truly wonderful Muppets Christmas Carol, and the truly meh Muppets Treasure Island. This led to us speculating whether it would be possible to make a Muppets Lord of the Rings. I ventured that it would be possible and it would quite possibly be rather wonderful. This led to Adam and Dan discussing which muppet could possibly be which part. On reflecion my issue was that I’d want Stadler and Waldorf in it, but I couldn’t see which part(s) they could possibly play an still be recognisably Stadler and Waldorf. Answers on a postcard, please.

I think the answer we settled on was Denethor. But it would be one standing on the other's shoulders, and they would swap randomly over the course of the film. Possibly even in the same scene.
If we stick with Fozzie as Pippin, the scene where he sings as Denethor eats would be adjusted to Fozzie doing a routine of bad jokes.
Hi Dan, I must have missed that!
