The Night Muppet Met Matt Damon

Muppet and Mr. Muppet went to Peter Luger's with Brother Muppet this past Monday while Brother Muppet was visiting New York for the holidays. He's from Washington state and was enjoying the utter fabulousness of the New York atmosphere.

While outside and about to go into the restaurant a black escalade pulls up and Matt Damon gets out. Brother Muppet gets excited and points this out to Muppet and Mr. Muppet. They make a note of him and go in. Brother Muppet stays to introduce himself. "Hi, I'm Brother Muppet." "Hi, I'm Matt." *handshake* Good times. Then Brother Muppet holds the door open for Matt. And in his excitement to follow Matt in, Brother Muppet steps on the back of Matt's shoe and trips him. Luckily Matt only stumbles and does not actually fall down.

Then, in the restaurant Matt comes up behind Muppet. And she just backs right up into him. Poor Matt. Beaten up by the Muppets. He takes it all in stride and everyone goes off to have dinner in separate rooms. Matt, of course, was seated first.

After a lovely dinner Matt and a companion come in to the room in which the Muppets are dining and talks to someone at another table. The Muppets are done and getting ready to leave and Brother Muppet decides he needs a photo. Matt is very gracious (and possibly inebriated) and poses for the photo. Then, he heads to the rest room. Where Muppet is standing. And walks right by the men's room and heads for the ladies. Muppet very politely points out that he might not want to do that. "Uh, Matt, that's the ladies room." He makes note of that and then asks Muppet if she'd like to join him in the ladies room. She points out that her husband (Mr. Muppet) is right there so she's going to have to say no. And then the Muppets depart. And as wonderful as Mr. Muppet is, we all wish for a moment that Muppet was not married. So we could have an even better ending to this tale. 'Cause come on, who wouldn't do Matt in the ladies room of Peter Luger's if the opportunity just presented itself? Right?

Note: Apparently Mr. Damon is quite good looking and taller than expected in person. In case you're interested in that sort of thing.
