Hi, Fragglemuppet! Richard's section is from pages 79-81. You can't miss it, all the quotes are about him. Good luck with your computer problems and hope to hear from you again soon!

Hehe, thanks for noticing, MN! I actually finally added that mention on Muppet Wiki because nobody else had, lol. I guess many fans haven't been able to see the special since it's so rare.

I had a dream last night, and I was very disapointed to discover it wasn't real, lol. I was at the Thanksgiving day parade and there was a Muppet float (being driven by Scooter lol). Afterward, they were selling things; every time I thought I picked up a Scootor or Janice, it suddenly turned into a Kermit or Grover doll! Lol I finally ended up getting a Scooter poster and kiddie Muppet books that involved Janice. Again, not exactly what I wanted, but I was very excited. I woke up a few seconds later, partially because I remembered to check my alarm clock. I paused a second trying to remember what the dream was about. Then it came to me, and I realized it was all a dream. As I said, very disapointed, lol. But hey, you never know. :wink:

Awww, I gotta say, I'm sorry that dream wasn't real, heralde! Hehe, it's a very cute one. Thanks for sharing it with us! Maybe it was trying to tell you something, though... better keep an eye out for any possible Muppet merchandise that may pop up now! :wink:

And Sara, congrats on the new job! I hope you're enjoying it! :smile:

Yup it was definitely cute and very enjoyable at the time, though frustrating. Like when the dolls kept changing into ones I already had, lol. I remember when the float was going by, I made the effort to applaud and encourage others. I also remember that the items I ended up buying cost something like $1270000! I felt very uncomfortable seeing that, lol.

But I think the dream came from all my frustration from trying to find rare items on Amazon etc. Like recently, I ordered three rare books. One of them has arrived so far (Do not open until Christmas hehe). The others are not over due yet, but it looks like it will take a few days. They are supposed to be the hard cover movie books of Great Muppet Caper and Muppets Take Manhattan. I used to have the GMC book as a child and I loved that book, I read it all the time. Well...read is such a strong word, I probably most looked at the pictures! Still, I remember how bright and cool it always looked. I never had the MTM book, but since it's my favorite Muppet movie, I decided it would be nice to have.

And as of now, I am going to attempt to ease up on the spending until after the holidays, lol. Though I'm definitely exaggerrating, I've never bought an item even close to $1270000!

Lol, sheesh, $1270000 is a whole heck of a lotta money!

But I'm with you, I actually just recently decided that I was gonna ease up on spending (at least, for things for myself) until after the holidays, too.

That does make sense, I completely understand your frustration about trying to find those rare items. That can be really tough, especially if you're buying or trying to find rare items a lot! That's so great, though, I'm glad to hear that one of your books has arrived so far. I hope you get your other two books sometime really soon. They sound so great! It's so sweet that you used to have the GMC book. The memories of things we loved always stay with us. :smile: I hope it's even more wonderful than you remembered, and I hope you enjoy your MTM book (and the book you've already received) like crazy, also!

Oh yeah I should have clarified, I do mean easing up on spending for myself. I fully intend to think of my family and friends (and hopefully some charity) this Christmas. :smile:

Thanks! I could be wrong, but I vaguely remember the GMC book eventually ripping apart at the spine, lol, which is probably why I don't have it anymore!

Oh and the other book that already came was a Fraggle book (really rare, I almost never see those now!), which involves a certain young Gorg pondering "If I were King of the Universe." I looked it over quickly to make sure all the pages were there and not colored on, lol, then put it away. More on that later!

Aww, I bet it'll be awesome to have that GMC book in one piece again. (Your poor old GMC book... I always feel bad when books are ripped apart like that, hehe). Oooo, and that Fraggle book sounds like fun! Can't wait to hear more about it! :big_grin:

Hey... Just thought I'd stop in here and start spreading some birthday cheer to Erin aka Muppet Newsgirl. Enjoy your special day, and maybe there'll be an orange chocolate swirl cake waiting for you when you wake up.

Thanks for the birthday greetings, guys. :smile: :wink:

And Ed, that orange-chocolate swirl cake sounds awfully appetizing.

Heralde, I really admire your willpower in keeping that Muppet book hidden away. If I were in your place, the temptation to immediately start reading it would be awful.
Case in point: during my second year of college I placed an interlibrary loan order for "Of Muppets and Men." I remember that I was checking my e-mail one more time before heading out on assignment for my journalism class one Friday afternoon, and there was a message from the library telling me that the book was in. 30 seconds later, I'm roaring over to the library on my bicycle to pick the book up. So I definitely know where you're coming from.
