If any of you remember the muppet show, that is where I got the idea.

Take that, you miserable bear!  NO MORE STUPID JOKES!  <twitch twitch>

Sorry, but my RL job is a multimedia programmer, and I just got done with 
the project I _WAS_ part of, the Muppet CDROM game...after months and 
months of putting up with Fozzie's jokes repeatedly, THEY GET A LITTLE OLD!!

In fact, we're now putting together in-office a DOOM parody using our 
office layout, and where we can shoot Muppet characters for stress 
relief. :)

               Fozzy Bear

It's spelled Fozzie.  Trust me.

And it's a contraction of Frank Oz, Henson's buddy, and the co-creator of 
the Muppets, as well as the person who does Piggy and Fozzie's voices 
among others.  He was ALSO, coincidentally named for one of the original 
puppet designers who helped design the engine that allow Fozzie to wiggle 
his ears when he laughs...the engineer's nickname was 'Foz'  Since Foz 
designed the puppet and Frank Oz was doing the voice, the bear got named 
Fozzie.

Now that we're off-topic... :)  <Shudder, horrible vision just crossed my 
mind...Spring of Drowned Muppet...please, min'na, NEVER make that one a 
fanfic!!>
