Happy anniversary to The Muppet Christmas Carol, released on this day in 1992! You may know it as the movie that features the credit "Rizzo the Rat as Himself" — pretty sure cinema peaked at that moment.
Wow, today is the 30th anniversary of The Muppet Christmas Carol! Hard to believe it's been that long since Mr. Dickens and I told Scrooge's story. By the way, if you're wonderin', my tail is still singed.
What's my fondest memory of filming The Muppet Christmas Carol? The food! You wouldn't believe the catering we had on this movie — full gingerbread houses every day! It was like a dream.
I really think that melted cheese might be the answer to all of life's problems. I can't think of one time my day wasn't immediately improved after eatin' some! Remember: Always fondue, never fondon't.
Here's a little life hack for ya: You don't have to even watch the Big Game this weekend to enjoy Big Game snacks! It's true! You can chip and dip to your heart's content without seeing a single touchdown.
On this day in 2016, the first-ever rat-owned pizza joint, PizzeRizzo, opened at Disney's Hollywood Studios in
@WaltDisneyWorld
! Here's to 5 years of pizza, pasta, plus dessert. Yumm!!
I love Fall, but I don't love that it's soup season. Soup isn't a meal! Unless of course we're talkin' about soup, sandwich, breadsticks, and dessert – now THAT'S a meal. Or at least an appetizer.
Sorry I haven't tweeted in a while. A few months ago, I dropped my phone in cheese fondue, got it fixed then dropped it in chocolate fondue. Delicious, but inconvenient.
Happy anniversary to Muppet Treasure Island! I had such a good time makin' this movie. The movie gave a big boost to the vermin tourism industry… and craft services were INCREDIBLE!
Check out this photo my cousin Alfonz took! Don't I look great?! If you or a rodent you know needs your picture taken, look up his new business: Alfonz' PortRAT Studio.
Note for other rats in showbiz: Make sure you only eat off the craft SERVICES table, not the craft table. Take it from a rodent who's eaten one too many glue sticks.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away – and there are several apples in every apple pie, so might as well eat one of those a day just to be safe, right?
This is the first time I've been on Twitter since Thanksgiving. I've been so full that I haven't been able to roll over to reach my phone... but hey, at least I've still got leftovers!
We rats take our favorite foods very, very seriously. For instance, who else do you know that has their favorite pizza joint as their emergency contact?
I like fancy food as much as the next rat, but I'll never make it for myself. My rule is: If a meal takes you longer to make than it does to eat, it ain't worth it.
Everybody claims they don't like fruitcake, but do you even know anybody who's ever had it? I don't! I know people who've used it as door stops and to balance tables, but never anyone who's eaten it!
Because I know you're dyin' to know but don't know who to ask... I'm in Season 4, Episodes 18, 19, 22, 23, 24 and Season 5, Episodes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 23, and 24 of

. You can jump ahead, I won't tell.
Another holiday season, another year where the Charles Dickens estate refuses to acknowledge the input of his "Christmas Carol" co-collaborator, Rizzo the Rat! I've got photographic evidence!!
To celebrate the end of one week and the start of another, I always have a sundae on Sundays! And to celebrate every other day, I have a mondae, tuesdae, wednesdae, thursdae, fridae, and saturdae.
A lot of people bring hot sauce with them to every meal. Not me! I bring a cauldron of fondue. Trust me, melted cheese goes with EVERYTHING…. and you can bathe in it!
If you're like me, you hate cold weather. Not because it's so frigid outside, but because there are still no restaurants willing to let me make a hot tub outta their tomato soup pot!
Anybody who says you can have too much of a good thing has obviously never been to an all-u-can-eat buffet. I've been here for hours and I still haven't had too much!
I think I just made the ultimate rat snack: A seven-layer dip where each layer is a different type of cheese! Once they all melt, ya can't really tell which layer is which... but who cares when it tastes so cheesy??
Time for me and Yolanda's favorite day after Christmas tradition: Eating a gingerbread house! We used to share a split-level, but this year we each have a ranch style to enjoy. Speaking of which, ranch dressing is surprisingly good on gingerbread!
I gotta say, cheesecake is probably the most deceptive food out there. First time I had it, I was expecting a hunk of Gouda slathered in icing — boy was I disappointed!
Here's a million dollar idea: A restaurant that offers a sampler of the full menu! Not just the appetizers — no, no! The salads! The entrees! The desserts! Even the kids menu! If you build it, I will come… and eat it.
Did everybody but me know that on cruises all the food is FREE?! The last cruise I went on, I ate so much they made me sit in the middle of the ship, so I wouldn't make us capsize. Urp!
If you ask me, every restaurant should give you free bread. And chips and salsa. And peanuts. And pizza. And if you weren't hungry before readin' this tweet, I bet you are now!
When I was a kid, I always wanted to be a pro athlete. Do you know how much they get to eat in a day?? When I found out ya had to run or swim before you ate, I changed my mind.
Hard to believe Christmas has already come and gone. Even harder to believe I spent most of it passed out in a stocking after eating too many figgy puddings.
I know it can seem pretty appealing to use an extra large pizza as a blanket. Lemme tell ya – it ain't worth it! Sure, it's pipin' hot to start, but if your appetite's anything like mine that blanket won't be makin' it through the night.
Every Saturday, I plan to have leftovers for dinner. That sounds like a good idea, till I realize when I sit down to eat, there's never any leftovers. Time to order a pizza!
I love watchin' game shows, but I don't think I ever want to be on one. I get enough family feudin' every time I go back to visit the dumpster I grew up in!
Most restaurants have ketchup on the table, but I'm proposin': Gravy on every table! (And not just spilled on the tablecloth.) Name one dish that wouldn't be improved by adding gravy. Betcha can't!
Sometimes if I'm feelin' too lazy to make dinner, I'll just eat the ingredients on their own. It works fine for somethin' like a sub sandwich, but it's not fun eating crunchy noodles instead of makin' spaghetti!
I just woke up and I'm starvin'!! It feels like a year since I last ate! (I know it's a cheesy joke, but c'mon... it's the only day I could make it! Plus, I'm a rat. I love cheese!)
Well, looks like it's gonna be another holiday season where I don't find out what figgy pudding is. Yeah, I know I could look it up, but I wanna come across it naturally.
You may be tempted to buy yourself some of that delicious looking Valentine's Day candy at your local grocery store, but hold off. Trust me, by the 15th, they'll basically be givin' it away!
Cheese always comes in the best forms. A block of gouda, a wheel of cheddar, a barrel full of havarti... and if you're me: a bathtub full of queso dip. YUM!
My family has long been arguing that dumpster diving should be recognized as a legitimate sport. You get points for the dive and points for whatever treasure you can dig out!
I've brought my lunch to work every day so far this year. It feels so great! You can't beat the feeling of eating a full wheel of Havarti and then an immediate nap.
Finally, some well-deserved worldwide recognition for us rodents! Happy
#WorldRatDay
to all the rats out there. Have an extra slice on me today, will ya?
I don't get emotional often... Well, actually, that ain't true. I get pretty emotional every time my food delivery shows up at my door. I've hugged more delivery guys than you can count!
Friends don't let friends get a to-go box. Why make 'em carry that food home? Finish their portion and yours... plus appetizer and dessert…. before the bill even shows up.
Some people will tell ya to always put your best foot forward, but we rats say ya gotta put your best FOOD forward! Eat the best stuff first and work your way down.
There's no better friend to have than a weirdo like
@GonzotheGreat
! He's opened me up to so many new experiences... only some of which have left me badly damaged.
Normally I spend my weekends watching every cooking show I can find, but they're just not doin' it for me lately. Sure wish they'd invent smell'o'vision or taste'o'vision. Time to go talk to Dr. Honeydew...
How many rats does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Well, it depends... is the lightbulb in the fridge? If so, it'll be screwed in as soon as we finish eatin'.
This Christmas, all I want is a full-size, two-bedroom gingerbread house. I figure if I pace myself I'll have sweet eats and a place to sleep until Valentine's Day.
I didn't watch the
#Oscars
last night, but I did have a really great hoagie. I tell ya what, the bun on that sandwhich is what should've won Best Supporting ROLL! HA!!!!
Combining breakfast and lunch into brunch is a great idea! I think we could take it one step further and combine the entire day into one big super meal called Breakunchnerper!
Ooofff... Sorry I've been out of action lately, Tweeters. I've been in a food coma since Thanksgiving. I wake up every hour or two to eat leftovers, but other than that I've been knocked out.
I'm so glad it's almost summertime! That means it's almost s'mores time. This summer, I'm experimenting: Cheese, bacon, peanut butter... I plan to roast it all… then have s'more.
Anybody got any extra Thanksgiving leftovers they could share with me? In my family, nobody's allowed to leave the table 'til we've cleared every plate in the house!
