Casting the NZ VRWC blogosphere for the Muppet show:
Kermit: David Farrar. Popular "show must go on" frontman.
Miss Piggy: Cactus Kate. Unusual feminist.
Fozzie Bear: Whale Oil. Misunderstood comedian.
Gonzo: Clint Heine. Dubious cunning stunts.
Camilla: Busted Blonde. Broody clucking loyalty.
Sam the Eagle: Stephen Franks. So sensible!
Swedish Chef: Monkeys with Typewriters. Pleasant gibberish with cutlery.
Beaker & Honeydew: Crampton and Hogan at Offsetting Behaviour.
Lew Zealand: New Zeal. For Americans who don't know any better.
Scooter: Keeping Stock. Repeater with occasionally original insights.
Statler & Waldorf: Roger Douglas and Michael Bassett.
Muppet Newsman: No Minister. Absurdities a go-go.
Dr Teeth: MacDoctor. Gospel influences.
Floyd: Bernard Hickey. Economic bard singing about hard rain.
Zoot: John Ansell. Nice tunes, shame about the lyrics.
Janice: Lindsay Mitchell or Homepaddock.
Rowlf: Big News, banging out the blues.
And Animal? I'm tempted to say Rodney Hide. But he neither blogs nor has any sense of rhythm.
UPDATE: On second thoughts, Not PC can easily pass for a Randimal. At least they recognise beauty when they see it.

Can I be Dr. StrangePork instead?
There's a future for you in casting.
though, my knowledge of the Muppets has some gaps - who/what is Janice?
OB - Off course you can. I just had a strong vibe of you testing your price gouging technique on some hapless Cantabrian. Hence the honeydew.

Ah! I'm fine with it if I'm Honeydew. I was worried you were casting me as Beaker. I still prefer StrangePork, but the utility difference is smaller.
@homepaddock: Janice played in Dr. Teeth's band.
We have the first two seasons on DVD for the 2 year old. He's starting with the classics.
Oh yeah, you're Honeydew. I haven't heard a meep from Hogan for some time. You haven't gouged him into catatonia, have you?
If Janice is musical I will, with regret, have to pass on that role.
I'm flattered to be included
Na, you're Janice, Ele. It might be a different form of strumming, on a keyboard a la Howard Jones perhaps. Good tunes.
