    So you want to audition for the Muppets?

    Question gets asked all of the time, but no one really ever has a definitive answer as to when or how... until now. Guess what? Auditions are happening in New York, Los Angeles, and Toronto soon! Heard about it last night and I was given a flyer. It says: The Most Sensational...

    Jim & Kermit at 1987 Macy's Parade

    I just came across this little treat for from way back when. It is a 90 second clip of Williard Scott, Jim, Kermit, and some other guy. This guy is giving Jim and Kermit an award. I couldn't tell what the award was for, but I think it is an award for just being Jim and Kermit. The award...

    Muppet Appearance at Disney Stockholders Meeting- maybe.

    I'm posting this as pure speculation. I have no knowledge that this will happen, but I think it is a pretty good bet. I'm also not posting this to start another pro-Disney/anti-Disney debate. There are plenty of other threads for that. I think that there is a strong possibility that...

    Mystery Thingy in the Chef's Kitchen

    After a close analysis by myself and 5 co-workers, none of us can come to a consensus about what in the world the plastic white accessory in the kitchen playset is supposed to be. Ideas are that it is a cutting board, a shelf for the fridge and/or freezer, an ice tray, and a storage...
