Good luck with "That Hideous Strength;" it's an interesting book, but a little weird at times. These days, I'm working on "The Snake Stone," by Jason Goodwin. It's a murder mystery set in Istanbul in the 1830s. I'm only a little ways into it so far, but I'll let you guys know what I think once...

Well, not much piques my interest on the airwaves these days except for Law and Order - and M*A*S*H.

Time to bump the thread up. (hears cacophonic jangling of piano keys in another room) Someone want to get an ice pack for Don? Anyways, here's wishing everyone a happy Valentine's Day (or Singles Awareness Day, if you prefer). :flirt:;)

Beige: Step on a crack, break your mother's back...don't walk under ladders...throw salt over your left shoulder for good luck... Nora: Wow, Beige, you sound just like Boober. All you need is a lucky flowerpot and you're all set. Storyteller: Beige, Beige, Beige, this Friday the 13th silliness...

Yeah, there's an article on Muppet Wiki about Muppet eyes...and there's a close-up of eight different types of eyes, including Scooter's. When we did the AIDS panel for Richard, for Scooter's hair Mom swiped a few strands of orange carpet yarn from some hooked rug she'd made years ago...

Beige: (fumbling for a gas mask) Well, it's still better than that half-gallon of Liquid Green Rollie that Storyteller here slathers on for... Storyteller: Enough, Beige. (to Lefty) How on earth did you get in here? Don't you know you're supposed to knock? Erin: (in next room) Why are the...

Well, I see there are a lot of Rocky and Bullwinkle fans on here; that's a good one. When I was a kid, I loved watching "The Magic School Bus," and I have some really fond memories of "The Adventures of Tintin."

Beige: (eating last slice of Boston cream pie) Hey, Ed, where I grew up, that's considered a wild Saturday night. Storyteller: (looking in vain for Vol. 48 of "Conspiracy Theories on Sir Blunderbrain's Disappearance") Beige, look, can't you see he's under stress? Nora: (reading "Tintin in...

Check your inbox; I just cast my ballot. So there should be a few more tomatoes at least.

Your friend's right, heralde. I'm kind of a perfectionist too, and I'm also my own worst critic. It's why Richard's remarks about how we need to all "stop giving ourselves such a hard time" really stick with me. And you know, listening to his voice when he's talking about it, he sounds like...

Yet another reason I don't look back on my high school days with very much fondness. ;) And you're right, a lot of people are way too public with their public displays of affection. It makes the rest of us look bad. I know I've said this already, but I had a friend in college who referred...

I know what you mean, Snowball. Pets can be a handful sometimes, but that's all part of owning a pet. And let's face it, the other humans in our families can be a handful too, if not more so. And I've seen members of my family throw fits over the most insignificant-seeming things. But it...

Beige: Oh, yeah, that one...of course the pigs would take over everything. Storyteller: Shh...Miss Piggy might be listening. Scooter: Why, is she working with Big Brother or something? Nora: (reciting) "It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen." Erin: Well, I...

Oh, yeah: the complete opposite of the opening procession. At the start of the service, the Muppet performers are all filing in a double line behind the band, clergy and the family, and everyone's looking really downcast and somber (although I noticed that at the start of the procession, Richard...

About dogs: I know, they're supposed to be man's best friend and all that, but they can get jealous. My own dogs always got a little put off whenever I lavished a little attention on that beagle that lived down the street from us. I wonder what kind of dog Strongheart was...judging from what...

Well, according to Jane, at the homes of some of the older customers, Richard would take the paper right up to their doors instead of pitching it onto their lawns. And then there was the woman who lamented, "My little dog misses your son!" (I'll bet Strongheart would have been really jealous...

(gang's having dinner, and waiting for dessert - rice pudding with raisins - to come out of the oven) Storyteller: It was truly a gathering of the Silly Creatures. There were - how many, 900? Beige: Enough to call it a loony bin. What'd you think of Oscar trying to hit on Maria? Nora: I know...

(starts humming "If Just One Person") It's good to see that Richard merited a few sentences in the review. It's only fair, of course, seeing as he grew up in the Record's coverage area - and how he, Adam and Rachel were paper carriers for the Record while in middle school. (And I still get a...

Yeah, good point. They've already done a few studies on how networking site members interact when they're away from the computer...I wonder what they'd find with us? About the speech: Wow...I've said a few times that the second speech is where Richard really gets going, and it shows in the...

Thanks, guys - it's funny, we'd never met before, but five seconds and we were chatting away like old friends. And some of the friends of the family who came with her wanted to know more about Muppet Central and all that, so I told them about the forum. Me too; I wondered where David Rudman...
