He's trying to prove that he has stamina. It's normal behavior for a muppet. That and finding high ground, bearing their asses and farting. It a show of strength. I learned that while studying them in the Congo.
Mine is cray.I don't feel bad for him.
We all have our own ass to bear. . . .

Professor Kayleamay, what's up with that jazz hands thing he keeps doing in Susie's HOF? Is that a show of strength, too? I was thinking maybe it was a mating ritual.
Excellent question, Cass. The muppet behavior known as "jazz handing" is actually their way of showing self-sufficience, a trait that female muppets find endearing in the male of the species. When in the presence of a female, the male will hold his hands high in the air and shake them, exposing the fur on the palms. The furrier the palms, the more likely the female is to let the male live.
ETA: and you know what I meant, Ken. He beared a bare ass. Don't harass before my first cuppa.
Does that hold true for American Muppets too or is it only for the furrin ones?Excellent question, Cass.

he called me an ass.

What about the capering?
The capering is merely a side-effect of one of the rituals of youth. All young muppets are given a pair of 4' stilettos which they wear until maturity. Over time, the tendons in their ankles shorten forcing them to "caper". A fully matured muppet who does not caper is considered to be of low breeding and usually assigned manual labor for life.
