A Tribute to Jim Henson

It was 20 years ago today when one of the most inspirational, educational, muppetational men of all time died, the one and only Jim Henson. We here are Gunaxin are huge fans of Henson, especially the Muppets, and if there were a Mount Rushmore meant only for creative people, you better believe that his hippie face would be up there. So without further delay, here is our tribute to Jim Henson.

Buy Kermit, Gonzo and Animal!

In this economy, there’s no better way to cheer yourself up than to own these guys.

Dress like a Muppet!


Jim, it’s been 20 years since you left us, and dammit, we’re still mourning your loss as if it just happened. We’ll end this tribute with a song.

I have an unhealthy obsession with Muppets, Lord of the Rings and Star Wars. I take out my frustrations on people on the hockey rink using traditional Korean martial arts. I'm prejudiced against hipsters.
