    Nora: (lying on sofa, with ice pack on head) What a day... Erin: (reading a book while sitting with legs swung over arm of chair) You too, huh? What happened? Nora: You wouldn't believe it. Down at the shop, the entire shelf of architecture books collapsed while I was standing beneath it...

    Hensonville City 2010

    Storyteller: Okay, can you flex it to the side a little bit? Erin: (starts to roll right foot around a bit) Fine...fine...(suddenly stops) Ow! Okay, it's still not healed yet. Storyteller: Mmm. You really must have done a number on it when...where was it you were hiking again? Erin: Huyler's...

    Well, I'm sure you've heard that Lynn Redgrave (aka Maid Marian in season three of TMS) died today. There's another thread here in Henson People, and it's got a link to her obit on the Washington Post's site. The obit includes a clip of her appearance on TMS, and the clip does include Scooter...

    Erin: (looking through cabinets) I need a milkshake. Anyone see where the blender got to? Scooter: (at table, reading comic books) Oh, yeah, Beige borrowed it. Wanted to hack up some kind of swamp plant for some allergy medicine he's working on. (from Beige's room comes the sound of something...

    Well, Jerry should be a snap, since of all the male performers he was the most musical - apart from Richard, of course. Let's see, Dave...well, there's "I'm Going to Go Back There Someday" and "The Wishing Song" for Gonzo, of course. There's quite a few on Fraggle Rock - "Follow Me," "Goin'...

    And hassle's what you call it when you're being charitable! With some of the backups you see around here, it's amazing that we're called the Garden State and not the Gridlock State. :eek: I've seen the clip that you mentioned. Richard's really got a case of the giggles and the guffaws there -...

    Funniest Fraggle Moments

    Well, "The Challenge" is full of one-liners: Boober: Argument, nothing, it's an attempted coup! Pa Gorg: Ah, here comes my beautiful wife, and my semi-beautiful son! Boober: Yes, but I feel great sympathy. The Grim Reaper comes for us all. Junior Gorg: Hey, pick up the tempo, will ya? I want...

    The RHLC!

    Yes - it's from the documentary "Down at Fraggle Rock." In it, Richard talks about what it was like to be a director for the first time, as well as what it was like to play Junior Gorg. The photo also shows up at the end of one 1993 SST episode, which the crew had dedicated to Richard's...

    The RHLC!

    That's the spirit, HeyButtahfly! I do wonder where Richard came up with "Your face." Maybe he was looking for a comeback/witty retort that would be uniquely his...and perhaps throw people for a loop. That sounds about right. Then too, maybe he also wanted a comeback that he could spout off...

    Scooter: (tuning guitar) I really need to get a new low E string onto this thing. Storyteller: (singing) Don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that string. (chuckles) Little joke there. Nora: So what are we doing, something by Lightfoot? Beige: Just as long as it's not that one about the...

    Nice, nice - looks like you're off to a good start. Don't forget "Six-String Orchestra" and other tunes like that - but then, you probably knew that already. And I agree - I think Jane would like a copy. You might want to check with Steve over on the MuppetCast - he knows how to get in touch...

    Prog Rock (Roger Waters and more)

    All right, here's more of a review - it was at the Theatre at Westbury. It's a fairly small theater, and in shape it looks like a flying saucer. What Keith and Greg are doing this month is a mini-tour of the U.S. and Canada. It all started, Greg said at the start of the show, when they got...

    The RHLC!

    Yeah, I read somewhere - might have been on one of the tribute articles for Richard here on MC - that on MT, they put a photo of Scooter on the studio wall. I imagine that because Scooter and Rowlf represented so much of the spirit of Richard and Jim, and because the loss of those two was...

    Prog Rock (Roger Waters and more)

    I just came back from the show about half an hour ago. It was wicked, wicked awesome. It was a full house in this theater in Westbury. Keith and Greg were in fine form, sounded really excellent. I'll give you guys a full report later on.

    Hi, Sara, nice to see you again! We've been keeping the thread afloat all right, as you can see. That's really great that you've got the book ready to sell - I'll have to see about ordering myself a copy.

    Nora: (studying long list of book titles) That has to go...ditto...why on earth did we order that in the first place... Erin: What's going on? Nora: Well, the shop's holding another clear-off-the-shelves sale, and I'm going through all our titles to see what we don't want, or what's been...

    The RHLC!

    Too true...if people in general were a little more willing to lend an ear, or a shoulder to cry on, the world would be a much nicer place. And pets, they don't judge you - they'll listen to you, and all they ask in return is food, water and a scratch behind the ears. I was about eight or nine...

    The RHLC!

    I'm so sorry about your cat, Nekoshema...it's always really rough to lose a pet. :sympathy: Yeah...it's really interesting. Richard gave that speech in May of 1990, and it's still providing some comfort and spiritual balm for people nearly 20 years later. That's the mark of a good speech - it...

    Keep up the good work, Marty - and keep us posted. I'm the same way, Gelfling Girl - there is a line in a book by Mary Higgins Clark that describes me: "...she creates clutter just by walking into a room." And it's true - during his closing remarks at Jim's memorial, Richard offered up some...

    Hmmm...that guy sounds like a real jerk, Nekoshema. That's really cruel of him to say things like that. The only place I've been able to see the whole "Puppetman" pilot is at the Paley Center - they've got it in their archives, but since they've not digitized it yet, you have to ask for the...
