Hanker, hanker

"Have you been hankered at by a pig before?" Kermit asks in the first of a series of interviews transcripted by, and hosted at, the Toughpigs Community.

Well, as you know, here at Swinehearts we have a hankering of our own; namely, a hankering for anything related to the romance of a certain pig and a certain frog, and so we present That Magnificant Hankering, a series of transcripts at ToughPigs that range from Entertainment Tonight (1984) to Larry King Live (1993) and The 31st Emmy Awards (1978).

First up, a Strange Kind of Feeling, in which Kermit talks to David on Good Morning America about girlfriends, hankers, and little green footballs.

Moving right along, My Secret Love, transcripted from Bob Hope's Birthday Special (1978) in which Piggy has a song she wishes to sing into Bob's eyes...but Bob is nowhere to be seen, so a pair of cute, ping-pong-ball eyes will just have to work as a stand-in.

"Be Bob Hope," Piggy insists.
"There is no way I could be Bob Hope!" Kermit reponds, worried.
"Kermit! Kermit!"
"What?"
"Do it because I love you."
"No."
"Do it because I need you."
"No!"
"Do it or I'll cut ya in half!"

Moving swiftly on...The Love Life of Frogs, in which Piggy announces, "Kermit...we are engaged.", Kermit tries to hunt for Piggy's tail, and Gonzo introduces his chicken girlfriend Camilla.

And if that wasn't enough, next we have Not a Rules Girl in which Kermit reads the rules for the 1979 Emmy Awards, and Piggy flounces for a close-up as she tells the frog to, "...get your flippers off my hips."

And there's even more romance coming, stay tuned to Swinehearts for detail on the next four interview transcripts from ToughPigs.com
