    "The Moppet Family..."

    (man on tarmac stands waving flags) Jeff: We got a plane coming in from... well, I'm not sure where, I'll have to wait. (surly guy in suit with cigar comes out of airport) Klompus: You were supposed.. (puff)... to know... (puff)... where the planes are coming from. Jeff: I know...

    What music are you listening to?

    Right now, I've got the Monkees' "Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn and Jones Ltd." on, and it's just about over. After this, maybe a little Jan and Dean, the weather's certainly suited to their music.

    How's the weather where you are?

    I know what you mean. See, in my living room, we have a huge picture window with no curtains to cover it, and two side windows with no curtains, either. A good twenty feet away from this are my dining room French doors, one of which has a curtain, and one of which does not. (It's Dad. Don't...

    Ultimate Puppet?

    That's my best guess. I can give you a quote from the (now-defunct) Disney Magazine. This is from Joe Garlington, VP of "interactive projects for WDI". It may not clarify the issue, but it's there:

    Rough Times Ahead

    Wow, that's really a sad story, Dee. Oh, and to Ryan: I'll keep you in my thoughts. And if you ever need to be cheered up, "Dave Barry Turns 50" can work wonders.

    Miss Piggy Went Brunette!

    All I can say is this: I really hate Piggy, but this better just be a phase she's going through.

    Muppets Big Brother

    (Sam pops his head out the door) I heard that! Nosir, I am only dedicated to serving my country and making you WEIRDOS cultural. (pause) You know, I am married, but we're separated. My wife, she flew the coop.

    Other puppet shows you watched

    How could I forget Greg the Bunny? When it was on, myself and my father watched every episode of that show. And I just remembered another slightly oddball, presumably Canadian creation: a show called "Pappyland". I think this show had some puppet work, but I'm not positive. I can't remember much...

    Louis or Lewis?

    Update: According to both Kermitage and the Henson Database, it's Lewis, so that's probably the correct name.

    Time-Life vs. Columbia question

    Alright, first a bit of a story, then my question. Now, as you know, I was just up around the East Coast. While in Massachusetts, I stopped into a Newbury Comics and searched around, and therein I found the 3-ep TMS disc with Diana Ross, Brooke Shields and Rudolf Nureyev. Now, on this disc, the...

    Muppets Season 1 releases Aug 9, 2005

    I just watched it too, and now I'm pretty much Animal. I'm jumping around and bouncing off the walls in excitement, I really can't wait for this set to come out! "The characters on this show are WEIRD and PECULIAR." I'll be sure to use that one in BB.

    Muppets Big Brother

    (Sam, not having quite reached the room yet, stops dead in his tracks and then swivels around) WHAT? Why, you little un-American infidel! We'll just have to see about you! Perhaps the bear might assist me in giving you a little bit of CUL-ture! Harrumph! (heads into room and slams door) (OOC...

    Strange Moments In Your Life

    What would have been REALLY scary is if he said something like "Oh, ya wanna REFILL do ya? Well, let's just see about that!" EDIT: Even scarier would have been "Hey, how do you know my name?"

    Battle of the Muppet All-Stars

    "OK! AND HE'S SWINGING HIS CLUB BACK! AND HE'S PUTTING IT DOWN AGAIN! AND HE'S SWINGING THE CLUB BACK AGAIN! AND HE'S PUTTING IT DOWN AGAIN! AND HE'S EXAMINING THE BALL! NO WAIT, HE'S LOOKING AT ME! HI, MR. NICKLAUS! WHAT DOES THAT FINGER MEAN? OH MY, AND I CAN'T STOP TALKING EITHER!"

    Louis or Lewis?

    That may not be the best way to go either. In TMM, there were numerous subtitle errors. Danny Horn famously exposed a few over on Tough Pigs. A couple of memorable ones were Lew Zealand being re-named "Luke" and Gonzo singing "We can hold on to young/like invisible string". When typing the...

    Battle of the Muppet All-Stars

    I personally hope the Olympic rules are broken and that the next event is a good game of golf, as it's the only sport I play. However, I cannot imagine Lewis Kezagger and the Newsman commenting on golf. They just couldn't quiet down enough.

    Hmmph. You... are all... WEIRDOS! Now I'm going to partake of some Robert Frost, so don't bother me. (heads off to room)

    Battle of the Muppet All-Stars

    No, what you said could be considered rude because of the way you worded it: if you had used something a bit gentler than "jerk", there would have been no problems with it. And I agree with Gardy and Ed: if something is given without evidence, just ignore it. EDIT: Just caught Lisa's post...

    How's the weather where you are?

    My English friend Will really hates the stuff. I've never tried it, I might run down to the British food shop tomorrow and maybe I'll pick some up there.

    The Muppets 50th Anniversary

    I'm sure he's done that for Kermit a few times. "OK, Chief. Now just remember that I can't be held responsible if this thing blows up." "Scooter, what do you mean, blows up? Of course it would be your fault!" "Gee, my uncle who owns the theater didn't think it would be my fault." "Do what...
