    Muppet Ebay items with Splurge

    Hey everyone, My girlfriend asked me to post links to her Muppet Ebay items. The reason she asked is because one is a Scary Scary Monsters toy set. One item is of Splurge. The only merchandise ever made of Splurge (that I've ever heard of) is in this set. If you like Muppet monsters, then...

    What is up with these DISTURBING commercials, lately?

    You should go on the air and say that! ROFL! I'd pay good money to see a commercial like that! I liked the commercials where the women were trying to run the Burger King over with their cars. Too bad they didn't actually do it...I'm sick of that King. Of course, this commercial comes on...

    Happy Birthday, Frank Oz!

    Hey, it's Frank Oz's birthday today! Even though he probably doesn't visit the Forum, I'd still like to wish him a Happy Birthday anyway. He's one of my heroes! In honor of him, I bought a cookie for my co-worker today. We shared it, just like they do on Sesame Street. So wish him a...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    Well, I did just that. I sent 'em a nice compliment on their site and a polite request. I'll let the Forum know if my comment was successful. Convincing John

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    Is there any way at all we can nicely request Sesame Workshop to upload this one in English? Which way would be most effective? I'm working on an exhibit for our library (part of which will be online) and it can link to different clips from YouTube and elsewhere. I plan to use the screenshot...

    Muppeteer Jerry Nelson releases studio album, "Truro Daydreams"

    Jerry's CD First up, I ordered 3 of these CD's right off the bat without listening to a single note from the samples online. I knew it would rock. How can you go wrong with a Jerry Nelson CD? That's like a kid getting a "snow day" off from school. I bought one copy for me, another for my...

    Controversial Topics

    In parenting classes, there's two clips I wish they'd show to emphasize that. Anyone else here ever wish you could do what Brian did? I know I have! Clip1 Then listen to the story about little Jeffrey. Clip 2 There's also a commercial on Youtube about a kid throwing a tantrum in a grocery...

    The Ride

    Just something I came up with this past week... The Ride It was the end of another show at the theater. Saturday nights were often the busiest, but tomorrow was Sunday and that meant no show. Kermit kept this thought in mind as the audience shuffled out of their seats. Bo began to sweep...

    "Back to Sesame's Future" - Another Lamefic from D'Snowth

    Okay, I guess I misunderstood you. I get your point, too. Well, you have my comments from before and I look forward to more story when you decide to post it. I also thought of something else. I've read a fair amount of fan fiction here om MC...and I think you're breaking new ground here...

    "Back to Sesame's Future" - Another Lamefic from D'Snowth

    Hi there, I'm not part of any "fanfic clique" that I know of, but still I wrote "The Best Neighbor" simply because I had a story to tell and I had fun writing it. If you look at the story, it has a lot of views, but I only had about 3 people who consistently replied. Have you seen...

    Is 'Of Muppets & Men' worth the money?

    Hey, if it's for charity, why not? I also like to have spares of things (if I can afford them). I try to do that with Brian Froud stuff if I can. I don't know why, but 'round my parts the Brian Froud books fly off the shelves like crazy. The Works is a wonderful book! Convincing John

    SST 40th Anniversary Library Exhibit Project, Coming in September

    Hey thanks! Right now I'm gathering materials for some 3D parts to the exhibit. For instance, I'm going to put the book jacket to "The Wisdom of Big Bird" in the case...but the jacket will be nestled in a small grapevine wreath and have some yellow turkey feathers sticking out of it. $8 at...

    Send Dr. Loretta Long Your Stories for Her Book

    Whew! Thank goodness for that! I'm so glad she's better! It's awesome she's writing a book! She's been there since day 1 of the Street, so she'd have a lot to tell! Fans would eat these stories right up! :insatiable: (Well, maybe not like that)... As soon as I hear a release date, I'm...

    What is WRONG with some people?

    When kids get cell phones, some of them know how to use them right, but there are some kids who will do what Bart Simpson did and either crank call people or try to call Australia just to see if the water goes clockwise down the toilet. If parents don't want phone bills with massive long...

    "Back to Sesame's Future" - Another Lamefic from D'Snowth

    Hey, Snowth. I just had a chance to read your story and I'm enjoying all the details you have so far, especially about the 1969 street being even grittier than the present day street. The nameless monster Cookie meets was perfect. Finally! Dr. Price makes something that works decent and...

    SST 40th Anniversary Library Exhibit Project, Coming in September

    Hey everyone, A thousand posts ago, I rejoined Muppet Central (after a hiatus) back in 2004. My first post announced that I was working on an incredibly complicated piece of Muppet-related artwork (Gilda Radner-related to be specific). I find it only fitting that my 1,000th post would...

    1000 Post Club, The Post Count & Senior Members Thread

    Almost there... Looks like I'll be a senior member with my 1,000th post coming up soon. (Right now, I got just one more to go). I've decided to use my 1,000th post as something special. (Hint: it's something really awesome having to do with Sesame Street). Everyone will find out what it...

    A Heart of Gold

    Yay! Your fanfics are always a treat to read! Although I love "Say Cheese", I too want to know how "Heart of Gold" ends. Fanfics can get to be a lot bigger than what you anticipated, can't they? At times I thought I'd never finish "The Best Neighbor". Please post more when you can.:)...

    Is 'Of Muppets & Men' worth the money?

    If you can, see if it might be at your local library. Then you can see just how much of a treasure this book is. I think all Muppet fans are in agreement that this is one of the best Muppet books ever written. It's right up there with the new Sesame Street 40th Anniversary Book that just...
