    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    (Marvin hears a voice in his head.) V: Marvin, call to Room 3 to find the pool key! (The voice goes away.) MS: Vell, sometink tells me I must-a call Room 3! (he dials Beth)

    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    (Marvin is sitting and finishing up "El Mariachi". The rest have left. Phil and TA have gone to see the movie, and Julius is on the second half of his golf game.) MS: Well, now that it's over, I sink I'll... (gets up, turns around and looks to the Muppaphones) MP: (quietly) Oh, no, not...

    Bad Baby Names

    Yeeks. Nobody in my family has ever considered giving their children any more than one secondary name. Mine is Patrick, my mother's is Anne, my father's is Gerard (and he pronounces it wrong to boot) and my grandfather's is Ronald. I used to have a friend with four secondary names, and he was...

    Should the Muppets retire?

    Yes indeed. And this serves as more proof of my "core group" theory, namely that there is no core group of Muppets. Example: When GMC was premiered, the core group would have been Kermit, Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, Scooter and Rowlf or maybe Teeth. Now, the core group is Kermit, Piggy, maybe Fozzie...

    Should the Muppets retire?

    And that's the way it should be. I've always felt that before Jim and Richard died, the minor characters were so minor that it hurt and there were a lot of characters that were used way, way too much. Fine examples of this latter category include Rowlf, Dr. Teeth and Animal. You're right that...

    Finally! It's bedtime!

    Congrats! I know what it's like switching beds. Just a few months ago I moved from a single mattress (my dad was cheap) to an extra-long double (my mom isn't). The change was necessitated for the same reason as yours: at 5'10'' (and shooting up like crazy) a tiny little bed with no boxspring on...

    Scary and urgent

    That's a Greg Travis joke, actually: "You'd head into Sears with your mom, hide in a rack of coats and watch her look for ya. 'She's got the cops out now, ha ha ha! My picture's already on the milk carton!'"

    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    (All four wake up. Julius has not had much sleep, as he stayed up to read. Marvin has a quarter hamburger on his nightstand. Phil's bed has many melted Junior Mints on it. TA's sheets are completely on the floor, as they are most mornings.) TA: Well boys, another day ahead of us. What do you...

    Behind the Scenes of "The Muppet Movie"

    ARRRRGH! You told the wrong person! Kill, Tobor, kill! Heh heh... Don't mean it. I own a few of the Hanna-Barbera sets. Just bought "The New Scooby-Doo Movies", as a matter of fact.

    "But Father, I must go! It would be a good thing for our entire family! Don't you agree, Mother?" (Heh. I've been watching a little too much Bonanza...)

    If your mother stirred your tea at 26 because Grover's mother stirred his. (My father, no joking.)

    Cartoon Forums

    Hey, sounds like the IMDb! Over there, the people basically compare every single movie that comes out to "Empire Strikes Back", and if it doesn't meet that standard, it's "gay" and if you like it, you're "gay" too. I sparked a furor there when I said I liked "Shark Boy and Lava Girl"! I've...

    Even worse: If you go to really a fancy restaurant and rub "The Rainbow Connection" on the rims of the wine glasses.

    Uncle Deadly review

    Heh. That happened to my father once. I had this light sensitive toy that would speak whenever you turned the lights off, and Dad turned the lights off and scared the holy snot out of himself. (This came after watching "Resurrection". Go figure.) Just read the review, now I may have to order one!

    Should the Muppets retire?

    "Ri'. I kill you now!" Bobo could well be my favorite Bill Barretta character. I was always really surprised that they didn't develop his character beyond MFS too much.

    Minigolf and Windmills

    I'm actually pretty good at real golf, I can beat my grandfather on a good day (and he's the best player I know). I haven't played a game in a while as I outgrew my clubs there two years ago, but I'm looking into some new ones.

    Minigolf and Windmills

    I'm not sure, but I think he was probably either a Commie or a Nazi. You know how hard it is to play through the windmills? I kinda imagine some weirdo in a little room with a piece of paper in front of him reading "Minigolf Torture Device 2" (the first being the pipe that your ball always gets...
