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.

Haggis, there are no such things as American muppets.

I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, um, some people out there in our nation don't have maps and, uh, ...
such as. |

Cray, it's not nice to make fun of Haggis like that. He can't help it if he's pretty.

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.

Cass, we'll be studying the habits of feral chihuahuas next week. Please try to stay on task.
You are correct in that the muppet ROAR is not threatening. It is, however, a defense mechansim. Muppets have a very limited vocabulary and are easily overwhelmed. ROAR is simply their way of saying, "I don't understand," or, "Huh?" or, "Please, get off of my toes." It's the equivalent of the use of "WTF?" among homosapien teens.
