    The Best Neighbor

    Chapter 27 "You're not going to blow up the factory." Kermit said determinitely. "Oh yeah? And what're you gonna do about it? You won't be able to scare me off like that idiot Hopper. He ain't half the man I am." Max pretended to be apprehensive of Kermit as he moved to the other side of...

    The Best Neighbor

    Chapter 26 Max barely slept that night. He never slept that well to begin with, but this night was especially uncomfortable. As best as he could, Max tried to rest on the only "pillow" he had: an old sweater wadded inside a t-shirt for a pillowcase. Kermit and the others were hard at work...

    Chapter 25 "It's this way, then turn left," instructed Max. The Happiness Hotel bus rumbled through Hensonville. Max and Mr. McFeely had hopped aboard for the ride. Only Beaker had been left behind. He was still hopping and swimming around in the sewer as Bunsen fumbled with the Nintendo...

    That's what I did, too. I had to stop ringing to watch Sprocket smack that pinata around. Classic stuff, man!:D Convincing John

    Bringing Back the Bells...

    Sure, why not? And I think the tradition was done wayyyy back in the first year of Muppet Central...1998, I believe, when there was the old Delphi message board and chat. Tonight's the night! 9PM Central time. And if you want, watch "The Bells of Fraggle Rock". If you have the Season 3...

    The Best Neighbor

    Chapter 24 The news spread through the Boarding House like wildfire. Downstairs, shouts of joy, cheering and bouncing penguins filled the air. Animal! Animal was 'The Best Neighbor'! It was chaos downstairs, but a good chaos. Animal was now downstairs in the middle of everyone. With...

    The Best Neighbor

    Chapter 23 It was hopeless. Kermit stared out the window, mumbling to someone he couldn't see beyond a gloomy, overcast sky. The clouds hung over a warehouse in the distance surrounded by an orange mesh fence. "I'm sorry...I just..." Kermit leaned against the window and sighed. Somewhere...

    The Best Neighbor

    Would you (or anyone else) care to chance a guess at who it might be? The Best Neighbor will probably be revealed tomorrow...even though there is quite a bit of story left. (About 8 chapters). I hope to have the whole thing posted by...oh, I dunno, Monday. I have to play around with the...

    The Best Neighbor

    Chapter 22 Lew Zealand and Pops weren't having much luck. Calls came in, but other than a few names and numbers for possible candidates, no one claimed the drawing as theirs. Animal was getting sick of being cooped up in the basement. Floyd had tried keeping him quiet by feeding him beef...

    The Best Neighbor

    Chapter 21 Ding ding! The familiar bell at Hooper's Store chimed as it did every day. Alan started up the day like he always did: turning on the lights, bringing in the newspapers, unlocking the cash register. All in all, it was a normal morning. At least for the first few minutes...

    Bringing Back the Bells...

    The ringing of the bells will be at the stroke of 9PM (Central Time) on Dec. 21st. If you live in the Eastern Time zone, it'd be 10PM and so on. Like I said earlier, if you want to do something extra, have a copy of "The Bells of Fraggle Rock" handy and start it at exactly 8:38PM (Central...

    Bringing Back the Bells...

    Wow! Thanks! If there's anything I can contribute to the article, let me know. Feel free to quote my posts if you like. It's great that others wish to share in this tradition! Ooh, and here's something else I forgot to mention. Last month, I looked all over for a regular handle bell (like...

    Bringing Back the Bells...

    (Kermit impression): "Oh, good!" I really do hope something gets mentioned at the Muppet Mindset about it. No matter who we are or what our different tastes are 'round these parts (or 'round other websites), there's one thing we all have in common: we all admire Jim and his work has had...

    The Best Neighbor

    Mr. Between just got on the bus right when Max was fading off to sleep: Sleep finally overtook him as the bus stopped to pick up a grinning man in a loud suit and derby hat who eagerly sat between as many people as he could. As for the archive hall (or whatever you want to call it), I didn't...

    The Best Neighbor

    New update (lots here, too!) Oh, and the last guy who got on the bus in the last chapter was Mr. Between (the betweeniest guy you ever seen). Chapter 20 Jingle jingle went the keys in Rowlf's paw. Only Rowlf and Bob knew about the place. Maybe Kermit did too, but he never mentioned it...

    I didn't think of Spamela...hmmm...maybe she'll make a cameo yet. The woman in the casino is Jackee Harry from that show 227. I have a few of the episodes. For those who haven't seen (or don't remember) the show, here's a clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3H1w4MFBgM I didn't think Max...

    The Best Neighbor

    More cameos comin' right up! Most of 'em are Muppets, plus one celebrity (well, more of a celebrity in the late 80's) who worked on TV with Alaina Reed (Olivia) years ago on another show. She seemed to fit in this chapter. Enjoy! Chapter 19 Max realized why the line was taking so long by the...

    The Best Neighbor

    A duet, another non-Muppet cameo appearance and some late night musing about shapes comin' right up. Oh, and here's an example of art imitating life. The way the coffee machine in this chapter...er, functions...is based off of a real coffee machine at work that did the same thing. Chapter 18...
