The Muppet Central Dictionary

[Ziffel]

Hey this was a neat idea, D'Snowth

I thought I'd put these entries in alphabetical order for quicker reference and since that's what dictionaries are. I included two new entries: TEC and Ziffelfest.

And Effralyo, maybe you could submit and entry for "glark". heeheehee.

[The Count]

Real good work there putting it together Ziffle.

Few things to point out/add.
Bathtubs: n. Same as the Hottubs, except that the bathtubs were open to any MC'er who had at least one (1) post.
EM Bus: To my knowledge, we never used it to break into CTW/SW's workshops... Only the Henson studios to break/kidnap Muppets and Muppeteers.
Also, you might want to add another little nodule stating that it was last used to break into the JHC/HIT studios to produce our own version of the Fraggle Rock movie, dunno whatever happened to that.
IAVMMCM: When abbreviating the title of It's A Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie, VMMCM is also used/acceptable. (Refer to my Muppet Listings threads).
KSY is misplaced in alphabetical order, it should preceed the entry for Lurk and its derivations.
Penguin 2: It's not that the graphic is named "Zany", it's more that the graphic or Muppet emodicon expresses zaniness.
Penguin 3: This is the penguin specifically named Zany, although he has a fellow cue card carrying companion named Ed. (Talk to theprawncracker, he can tell you more about them than I can).

That's all I got I think. Keep up the great job you guys.

 

[The Count]

Also... You should add a little blurb for MTM stating that The Muppets Take Manhattan is also referencially abbreviated as TMTM, similar to TGMC.
Additions...

TMM: The Muppet Movie.
FTB!: Follow That Bird! Short version for the movie's full title: Sesame Street Presents: Follow That Bird!
EIG: Elmo In Grouchland, also referencially abbreviated as TAOEIG (The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland).
JHH: The Jim Henson Hour.
JHC: The Jim Henson Company.
MHC: The Muppets Holding Company.
MT: Muppets Tonight.
S&F: Sam and Friends.
TGSCS: The Great Santa Claus Switch, others have used it occasionally.
LMM: Little Muppet Monsters.
MB: Muppet Babies.
GOFH: The Ghost of Faffner Hall.

Hope this helps.
