    The Best Neighbor

    Yep, I loved writing that part because I too have fond memories of seeing that stuff on TV at the crack of dawn when I was a kid. With me, it was every Saturday morning. Before the cartoons came on there'd be the test pattern, then the sign-on stuff (with the station and radio info) and the...

    The Best Neighbor

    Chapter 5 Chapter 5 everyone! (Although I feel like Count is the only one reading this). Every time I type a new chapter, I sorta feel like Rowlf in this clip. Maybe Count should tell me "Post, hound! Post!" at the end of each chapter lol! Anyway, a hidden movie reference, a commercial...

    The Best Neighbor

    Just FYI for the readers, if you'd like, go ahead and open up Wikipedia in a second window. Why? Well, Dr. Teeth is going to explain something to Rowlf in this scene. Just for fun, you can use Wikipedia to find out what our grinning piano man is telling our canine friend before he figures it...

    The Best Neighbor

    Chapter 3 Almost no one was very hungry when suppertime came, and for once it didn't have to do with the Swedish Chef's cooking. Animal and Floyd (who had missed seeing Mr. McFeely entirely) were the only ones who had any supper. Animal had the banister he had looked forward to. Floyd chained...

    Here's the 'pencil factory' scene from Eraserhead, which inspired the Bugaboo Dog Chow inspector: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqKdsKGSbZQ The first minute and a half is all you really need to see.:D New chapter forthcoming very soonish. Convincing John

    The Best Neighbor

    The dog food scene was difficult for me to read...and write too! (I felt so bad for poor Rowlf!) But like I said, it had to be in there. We have to see what's going on in the factory to know what's going on in Frass's head. He's our bad guy in this story. Also, the scene was necessary for the...

    The Best Neighbor

    A word of caution first... Before you read this chapter, it would probably be a good idea to read it if you aren't eating at the moment...or just getting ready to eat. There's something in this chapter that's not too pleasant to look at, (kinda gross) but it's necessary to the story. Just...

    The Muppets Perform Harry Potter.

    "If just one poster believes in you..." "...it stands to reason someone else can think 'if he can comment, I can comment.' Making it two MC members posting comments for you..." I thought I'd chime in and leave my comments. I'm in the same boat, actually. I started a fanfic and theres 40+...

    Half of the Stairs are Missing

    Thanks for the lemonade, Count. (Glug glug glug):) We have to wait until the end of the month? (Pa Gorg impression: "Drat and Deuteronomy!") Oh well. I'll just keep working on my own tale and rereading Harry Potter in the meantime. Convincing John

    Half of the Stairs are Missing

    AAARRRGH! Talk about your cliffhangers! This was an amazing chapter, Lisa! The whole Newsman scene was just perfect. Now that I thought about it, he's right about the notes. Every other newscaster has a teleprompter. When are we going to see more of this amazing story? Please post...

    The Best Neighbor

    Chapter 1 Thud...Thud...k-klop klop... Thud...Thud...k-klop klop... It was a sound many residents were familiar with in Hensonville. Around this time of the afternoon, many people listened for it. Some waved to the sound, others just glanced up, then went back to working in their flower...

    Prologue We'll just get rid of it all." Mr. Frass ordered. "Sir, you're joking! We can't just tear that down--" "Look, no one cares about that old stiff anymore or what he had to say. He's outdated and so are his principles. We're in charge now...right?" The assistant's mouth twitched...

    The Best Neighbor

    Hey everyone, Until I can blow the dust off my old Fraggle fanfic and finally finish it, I've been working on another fanfic. It's not done yet (and won't be for a while) but I know how everything will play out. (The Fraggle one has left me wembling between a few different endings). In the...

    Creepiest Movie Ever!

    Ever seen Eraserhead? Go ahead and rent it and watch it at about 2 or 3 in the morning. After that, you might want to keep some ketchup handy for your hat. You'll never look at a Cornish game hen the same way again after seeing Eraserhead. Convincing John

    How is Jerry Nelson doing?

    Yep, he sure has, and he's been nice enough to spend some time chatting with us fans and even answering a few questions. He's one of my all-time favorite artists! I was listening to this song the other day and as many times as I've heard it, I always laugh. (though I don't understand why they...

    Waiting for Season 40

    Same here. I've wondered about that myself. But, getting back to the Season 40 topic, I wonder if any of the Muppeteers will make cameos this season. It's happened before: I remembered seeing Jerry Nelson on the street (years ago) and he was playing some kind of acting coach. It just...

    Half of the Stairs are Missing

    Well, the fanfics around here have sure inspired me. I have about 18 chapters already of my new fanfic. What's more, three of the main individuals in this story are very familiar to us Muppet fans, yet to my knowledge, have never appeared in an MC fanfic before. With your stories, it's all...
