[edit] Hunter S. Thompson?
Was Gonzo named after Dr. Gonzo/gonzo journalism? Kuralyov 01:36, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- It seems very likely, (although I think Thompson himself did borrow the term) but I yet have to see a quote from Henson (or some original creator of the show), for certainty. Btw, I heard that it was originally an Italian word.
i was in a quiz game and they asked me what Gonzo was, i said it was unknown... i got it wrong. They told me in one of the episodes they labled him as a Chicken Hawk, is this true or should i have been right?
I recall a Muppet Babies episode where Fozzie said that he had always thought of Gonzo as a cross between a chicken hawk, beach blanket (or beach ball), and something else... does anyone remember that?
SPOILER : In Muppets from Space , Gonzo discovers he's actually from another -rather funky - planet. His extraterrestrial family appears dressed like the Earth,Wind and Fire and reveal him the origin of his unusual looks and his unkown species.
Did they ever reveal what the name of the planet was ??
[edit] Picture
How about a picture???
Seriously, no-one has a picture of Gonzo? BethEnd 03:34, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Didn't he have a thing for Miss Piggy?
Didn't he have a thing for Miss Piggy? Or am I making this up?
- You are making that up heh. ~~EvilMuppet (no really that's the username I use on the net not just this article heh)
[edit] Phallic Hook-Like Nose?
There appears to be debate here about whether Gonzo's nose is "phallic" or "hook-like". Someone just changed it back to "phallic" when it was apparently changed from "phallic" to "literally hook-like" back on Aug 3 of this year. So perhaps the current revision will be rolled back to "hook like" if the consensus is to avoid the word "phallic" here.
I don't see anything wrong with "phallic", but we should remove the word "literally". Regardless of any possible muppet penis debate, whether his nose is genuinely hook-like or phallic (both similes), the word "literally" is extraneous and misleading.
Prior to Aug 3, it said, "long, phallic nose," which is correct.

[edit] Fictional Plumber?
This article is categorised under Fictional Plumbers but has no mention of plumbing in the text. --John Stumbles 15:49, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
_______________________
In The Muppet Movie, which is, according to Kermit, "approximately" how the Muppets met, it is revealed that before he joined Kermit and Fozzie, Gonzo was a plumber.
[edit] Page name
I think the page should be called "The Great Gonzo." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by There's a bomb in the lasagne (talk • contribs) 00:28, 17 December 2006 (UTC).
