Thanks again everyone for your thoughts, prayers and support! My brother-in-law made it home yesterday. The hospital where he was staying was doing an inadequate job of killing his pain so he was yanked out and his dad (a doctor) was able to get him some real painkillers. My grandma is...

This was strange, though not creepy strange. This was a very good strange. One summer a few years back, a friend and I wanted to go to a theme park here in Kansas City called Worlds of Fun. On the morning of the day we had planned on going, it rained, and the forecast said the rain would...

It's a good idea, though. I hope they go with it.

Whoa! A surprise "Please Cheer Up" party for me?! I'm flattered! Wow, food and everything...thanks everyone! When put into perspective, things really aren't all bad. I can't read Dee's post and seriously consider remaining sorry for myself. As I said before, when my grandma is gone, she...

Empire Records is such a great movie. "Warren's" character cracks me up. I just finished Million Dollar Baby. Geez, what a terrific movie. It was a downer, but not near as bad as Clint Eastwood's previous flick, Mystic River. I now understand why MDB won all those Oscars. Clint, Morgan...

I've seen those guitar pics earlier on, a most excellent idea! That one little detail and it propelled Clifford up on the cool chart. I can't wait to see your Super Link, Count. I'm thinking your customizer does professional quality stuff, unlike me, who settles for the first thing that...

That's hilarious. I've always messed up my punchlines so no one ever laughed at my stories, anyway. At least, not the ones that were meant to be funny.

Hey, I just now noticed this thread. Looks like a really good puppet. Unfortunately, my speakers aren't working so well so I couldn't really hear it. I like the big head on the puppet, though. It makes for good physical comedy, such as the sweeping of the floor, which looked hilarious.

I forgot all about that whole scene! Definitely the most memorable in the whole movie, I think. I agree with you about Martin's earliest films, though. The Jerk will always remain one of the greatest comedies ever made. I guess that does bring me to this question, though: Is there a...

That's good that you have a good relationship with your mom. I think that's important. Unfortunately, I think the only reason I was talking to her all day was because my dad may have been too upset to talk. No surprise, I guess, since we're both talking about the importance of our...

Your dad actually served refreshments? If my parents ever offered me and my friends anything it would be ice cubes. Just kidding. It is funny that you mention a friend who felt the need to repeat something to get a reaction from his friends. I'm reminded of an old friend of mine, this was...

Steve Martin is truly a genius. I have the SNL Best of Steve Martin, and his appearance on TMS is one of my favorites. I also really like Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (a Frank Oz film). His playing the role of Michael Caine's "special" brother is absolutely unforgettable. I was in the middle...

Thanks everyone for your kind words. I have two updates and they took things from bad to worse (in one day, for crying out loud). My grandma lost feeling in her legs today. It turns out that a blood clot formed in her spinal column where the anasthesia had been applied for her first...

Hey Count, regarding your question about Dr. Bob: As many people know by now, Rowlf is my favorite Muppet. I wanted to customize a Rowlf figure to honor my favorite sketch: Veterinarian's Hospital. I happened to have two S3 Rowlfs, so I went ahead with the project. However, due to Rowlf's...

Sorry about your plight, Vibs. The only thing that comes to mind is this: if you and your friend are drifting apart, there's two ways the Italy trip could work out (if you decided to go). One, you two could reestablish the strong bonds you once shared and come home with a rekindled friendship...

Hey all. I've never done this before, but I'm feeling pretty glum right now. I just found out that my grandma has lung cancer (and has for some time, apparently). It's spread into her lymph nodes and while the doctors try to keep us positive, the outlook doesn't look good. As if that...

A great? A great what?? What the heck was I talking about here? I should probably review my posts more often. Is everything I say so non-sensical? Anyways, my real reason for posting here is to see how the membership is treating you BEAR. Is it everything you hoped it would be?

May I ask a question, Count? Forgive me if this is offensive or if it's been asked before, but how exactly, since you are admittidly nearly blind, do you read the posts here at Muppet Central? If it's a sensitive matter, I apologize and will never bring it up again. You're having Muppet...

I hate frogs. Kermit is the lone exception; he's my buddy. Frogs give me the heebie jeebies, and I think that image is going to haunt me for a while.

Series 3 Rowlf's eyes were meant to be looking upward. They wanted it to look like he was looking up at his accessory, the bust of Beethoven, when they were positioned at and on the grand piano, respectively. I agree about Ernie. I feel that something is not right with his pupils. I will...
