(The gang is out for an evening stroll, all carrying ice cream cones from Cold Comfort.) Storyteller: (peach and Doozer stick crunch) Such a nice night...looks like summer decided to come a little early this year. Nora: (strawberry) 80 degrees in the shade this afternoon. I think today was...

That's true, the princes tended to make only minor appearances, and they were always dashing and debonair, with all the personality of cardboard. Ah, Renee Fleming - years ago, she played Desdemona alongside Placido Domingo's Othello. These days she's the host of the live broadcasts from the...

(The gang is having dinner - tonight, it's Greek.) Nora: Pass the daktyla bread, please. So what are Zoot and the others up to with that video camera? Scooter: (passing the daktyla) Supposedly making a movie or something. Pass the moussaka, please. Erin: (passing the moussaka) No offense, but...

That was the first photo I ever saw of Richard, the one on the main tribute page. I also really like the one of him and Scooter looking straight at the camera - you guys know which one it is, the one where Richard's wearing his iconic gray tweed newsboy cap. And it's true; Of Muppets and Men...

Storyteller: (singing) Ah, how I laugh to see myself in the mirror...how I laugh to see how beautiful I am... Beige: (muttering) Laughing is right. Scooter: Isn't that the song Bianca Castafiore keeps singing in the Adventures of Tintin? Nora: It is. It's Marguerite's jewel aria from Gounod's...

I love the way he reports in with his demonic boss after Miss Piggy storms out: "Listen, boss, the sale's not going so hot. Would I get a commission for hourly rentals?" It really looks like Cooper had fun on that show - and I'll bet the performers did too. One of my favorite bits from that...

I just listened to the latest MuppetCast, the one with the interview with Jerry Nelson. It's really cool - Jerry talks a little bit about Richard, how he was like "a big puppy" with his exuberance around the studio, as well as how Richard was pretty much the Muppets' official ambassador or...

"Umm...it wasn't this weird when we had Julie Andrews on the show!" But, yeah, I've heard a lot of people say that Alice Cooper's a cool guy...and according to a few people he's a pretty good golfer. Yeah, for Prince John they'd need someone pompous and thick-headed, so Link would be perfect...

Oh, that's priceless! I love the way "Street Gang" describes it: "Legend has it that Hunt entered the Muppet greenroom one day, holding Elmo upside down by his rod, as if he were carrying a dead buzzard by its claw." Although, Richard certainly would have approved of Elmo saying "Get a...

(Gang's setting up the common room for a campfire sing-along) Beige: Though not with a real campfire - fire marshal would have a fit. Storyteller: Who wants marshmallows in their cocoa, and who wants chocolate chips? Scooter: Has anyone seen my string winder? My guitar needs a new low E...

Hi, Marianne, nice to see you back here! Yeah, whoever runs that page knew Richard, somehow or other, whether he or she was just a fan, or maybe a friend of the family, or something.

Beige: (reading Our Dustrags, Ourselves) Come on, Chamberlain, go bother Aughra...or harass a few Gelflings or Mystics. Storyteller: (re-reading epic of Fedora Fraggle) No, scratch that - he can have issues with the Mystics, but leave the poor little Gelflings alone. Nora: (reading Ursula le...

You're volunteering at the Paley Center now? Neat! If it's a long-running volunteer gig, maybe we'll run into each other the next time I'm in the city. And where do they keep those books? I'd love to have a look at them one of these days. I had some college roommates who did stuff to keep...

Hmm...that's an interesting way to see it - as if you're an actor getting ready for a play. But, yeah, your current condition has a lot to do with it, 'cause if you're writhing in pain from torn ligaments, or doubled over with GI pain, using crutches or a wheelchair kind of loses its appeal...

Beige: (emerging from Fraggle hole) Evening, silly creatures...where is everyone? Storyteller: Nora's back in her room, working on some project for Coming Unbound, while Erin and Scooter are out picking up some dinner. Beige: That's nice. (spots a bowl of dried pea-like objects) Ooh, peanuts...

I'm going to second the others and recommend that you talk to a doctor about that, Sara. I've got two doctors for parents and this is the first time I've ever heard of BIID. I've ridden in a wheelchair only once, when I was five - I'd had to go to the hospital early in the morning because I...

(The gang is downtown at Cold Comfort, partaking of ice cream sodas, as film noir-type music plays in the background.) Storyteller: (peach) Hmm...a personality hiding in the deep dark corners of the mind. Sounds like a fascinating idea for a book. Beige: (triple fudge) Yeah, but Stephen King's...

Well, what'd ya expect for the guy who was described as "a force of nature" in the Street Gang book? ;) Sara...I'm really sorry to hear about your grandmother. It sounds like you loved her very much, so it's got to be rough for you. I'll second what heralde said and tell you to hang in there -...

Oh, dear, missed Trading Places again...maybe one of these days I'll be able to catch it. "With that tongue? No way!" About King's Quest: it's a series of adventure games, which follow the lives and adventures of the royal family of the kingdom of Daventry. There are four: King Graham and...

My location? It's a reference to the King's Quest games - ever hear of them? My last location, Marlinspike Hall, was a nod to Tintin. Ah...the hits keep coming. And it's true, you'd have to be made of stone to not react one way or another to Richard's speeches - it really has an impact on...
